What comes out

Real exports, ready to remix

Watch the finished result, then open the exact scene in the editor and replace any line.

Built for short-form channels

From texting-story script to finished post in three steps

Keep a polished, high-retention format that looks at home beside the big storytime accounts, without rebuilding a video timeline for every post.

01

Write or paste the scene

Edit line by line or paste a Name: message script from anywhere.

02

Choose the world

Switch between phone chats, work apps, a terminal, JRPG dialogue, and more.

03

Preview and export

Tune the pacing, check platform safe zones, then download MP4 or WebM.

The look matters

Thirteen themes, versioned on purpose

Current mobile surfaces sit beside preserved Classic options and cinematic styles. These are complete animated interfaces, not color swaps.

Try every theme free →

Calibrated mobile UI

Versioned current and Classic themes with stable message placement, app-specific chrome, receipts, and keyboard motion.

Fast without a timeline

The script controls the edit. Change a line or timing value instead of moving clips around a video track.

Rendered on your device

Preview and export happen in the browser. Your finished video is not sent to a rendering queue.

Already use AI?

Bring a script from ChatGPT, Claude, or anywhere else.

Paste plain dialogue directly into the editor. Advanced users can also import JSON or connect an assistant for a ready-to-render link.

Questions before you start

Is texting.video free?
Yes, and every feature is included — all 13 themes, attachments, timestamps, read receipts, typing indicators, device status, sound effects, reactions, and unlimited MP4/WebM export. Free exports carry a small made-with-texting.video watermark; Creator Pro is what removes it.
What video formats can I export?
Export MP4 or WebM in 9:16, 4:5, 3:4, square, or landscape. MP4 is the best default for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
Do I need an account or an app?
No. The editor runs in your browser and a local draft auto-saves on your device. A free account is only needed if you want a cloud library.
Where is my video processed?
The conversation is rendered and exported on your device. Your video is not uploaded to a rendering server.
Can ChatGPT or Claude write the script?
Yes. Paste a simple Name: message script, import JSON, or use the texting.video AI guide and MCP connection for a ready-to-render link.
Can I use the videos commercially?
Yes. Videos you create are yours to use, including in monetized social content.
