Drawn for 9:16, not cropped

Choose Portrait 9:16 as the frame before you generate. The boards are composed for a tall screen from the start, so nothing important is cut off at the sides the way it is when a landscape video is cropped for a phone. The finished video is a 1080×1920 MP4 with the narration mixed in.

Short scripts work best

For Shorts, Reels and TikTok, a script of about 80 to 150 words gives a video of roughly 30 to 60 seconds. Paste your own script, which is read word for word, or choose Write it for me, type a topic and let it write the narration. You can read the script before anything is drawn.

Subtitles burned in, or as a file

Many people scroll with the sound off. Turn on Burn in subtitles and the captions are drawn into the video, sized for a vertical screen. Or download the subtitles separately as an SRT file and add them in TikTok, Instagram or YouTube.

Your voice or one of ours

Pick a narration voice in any of fourteen languages, or choose I have a recording and upload your own MP3, M4A or WAV; each drawing then starts when you say it.

Fix one picture without redoing the video

With a membership, if one board has a typo or a drawing you do not like, open the video under My videos, choose Edit and change just that board. The narration and timing stay exactly the same.

Posting it from a phone

Tap Download MP4 and upload it like any other phone video. On an iPhone, Safari saves it to Files, in Downloads; open it, tap Share and choose Save Video to move it into Photos. On Android it lands in Downloads and usually in the gallery.
