— How it works

From paragraph to cartoon in 3 simple steps.

Step 1

Notebook with a scene sketch and storyboard frames

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Render panel exporting to YouTube Kids, TikTok and Reels

Render & publish

Voiceover in your chosen narrator, original music bed, captions burned in. Export 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 in one render.

Six styles out of the box: Saturday morning, European, retro 70s, flat modern, sketchy, stop-motion. Plus custom styles on paid plans by uploading reference frames.

Can the same characters appear across scenes?

Yes. Define a character once and the AI keeps them visually consistent — same outfit, same colors, same proportions — across every scene of your short.

Is the content kid-safe?

Yes. Enable kid-safe mode and the AI filters out anything inappropriate for under-12s — both in visuals and in narration. Perfect for YouTube Kids, schools and family channels.

What languages are supported for narration?

30+ languages out of the box, with multiple narrator voices per language — including kid-friendly, warm-adult and dry-comic ranges.

What aspect ratios are supported?

16:9 for YouTube and embeds, 9:16 for TikTok/Reels/Shorts, 1:1 for feed. Pick before generating or re-render in another ratio with one click.

How long does generation take?

A 60-second short renders in 4–7 minutes. Longer shorts (3+ minutes) take 12–18 minutes. Live progress on screen as each scene renders.

Do I own commercial rights?

On paid plans, yes — full commercial rights for monetized publishing, paid distribution and merchandise built around your characters.
