Sci-fi drama in a terminal. Office comedy in a work chat. Pick the theme that fits the vibe of your conversation.
Whether you call it a texting story, a fake iMessage conversation, or a chat skit, text conversations are one of the most relatable formats on the internet. texting.video turns a script into a finished vertical video in minutes.
Build a skit around an awkward group chat, an unhinged family text thread, or a couple fighting over whose turn it is to cook. Text conversations are inherently funny, and the format does half the work for you.
Tell a horror story through leaked messages. Write a mystery that unfolds one text at a time. The typing indicator builds tension that traditional formats can't match. Pick a theme that fits the mood: Terminal for sci-fi, True Crime for suspense, JRPG for fantasy.
Videos export in 1080x1920 vertical format, ready to upload with no cropping or resizing. The animated typing indicators and message reveals keep viewers watching, which is exactly what the algorithm rewards.
Show a product pitch as a conversation between a customer and a friend. Explain a concept as a dialogue between a student and a teacher. The text message format is familiar, approachable, and gets higher engagement than a wall of text.
History's greatest moments, retold as text messages: the Cuban Missile Crisis over iMessage, the Moon Landing in a terminal, the Ides of March as a JRPG. Watch them, then remix any of them into your own video with one click.
Already chatting with Claude, ChatGPT, or another assistant? Have it write the conversation, then bring it straight into texting.video. You still choose the theme and export the video yourself.
Ask your assistant for a script in our simple JSON format, then import it in the editor. The guide has a copy-paste prompt.
Add our MCP server to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Your assistant writes the scene and hands you a ready-to-render link.
The video renders in your browser, so you can fine-tune the theme, timing, and on-screen keyboard before you export.
