Make text-based short videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and other feeds without opening an editor. Type your message as a list of slides and give each one a duration and an animation: typewriter, word-by-word pop, slide up line by line, kinetic zoom or fade. Wrap words in *asterisks* to show them in the accent colour. Choose 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9 at 720p or 1080p, and a solid colour, gradient, animated gradient, image (with an optional slow zoom) or looping video background with adjustable darkening. Style the text with font, weight, size, colour, outline, shadow, alignment, position and a translucent panel, and add a footer credit such as your handle. CJK text wraps per character and never starts a line with closing punctuation, and long text shrinks automatically to fit. Add background music with a start offset, volume and fades. Export draws every frame at its exact time, then FFmpeg encodes an H.264 + AAC MP4 that matches the preview. Everything runs locally in your browser; your text and media are never uploaded.

## How to use

1. Type your text as slides and set each slide’s duration and animation

## FAQ

### How long does exporting take?

It depends on length, resolution and background. With a static background (solid, gradient or an image without slow zoom), frames where the text isn’t moving are drawn only once, so a 10-second video usually takes 10–20 seconds. Animated gradients, slow zoom and video backgrounds change every frame and take longer; 1080p is roughly twice as slow as 720p.

### Can I use my own font?

Text uses the fonts installed on your computer or phone; each style (sans, serif, Kai, rounded, bold) picks the best installed match. To use a particular font, install it on your system first. The same style can look slightly different on different devices.

### What if the music is shorter or longer than the video?

Shorter music loops automatically and longer music is cut where the video ends. You can choose where in the track to start and add fade-in and fade-out. Without music the tool adds a silent audio track, because some platforms reject videos with no audio.

### Can I upload the result straight to TikTok, Reels or Shorts?

Yes. The export is an H.264 + AAC MP4 at 24, 30 or 60 fps. 9:16 is the native size for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, 1:1 and 4:5 suit feed posts, and 16:9 suits landscape platforms.
