How it works

From paragraph to cartoon in 3 simple steps.

— 01 —

Write the scene

One paragraph. Describe the characters, the setting, the small comic beat. The AI breaks it into 4–8 cartoon scenes with consistent character design.

— 02 —

Pick the style

Saturday morning, European, retro 70s, flat modern, sketchy or stop-motion. The AI applies line work, color palette and shading rules to match.

— 03 —

Render & export

Voiceover in your chosen narrator, original music bed and captions burned in. Export 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 in one render, ready to download and post yourself.

I turned a class history lesson into a Saturday-morning cartoon and my fourth-graders rewatched it four times that week.

I drew a full 90-second character short in under ten minutes, no Toon Boom, and showed my editor before the next draft was due.
