Chat Stories
Chat stories,
narrated and ready to post.
The story formats that hold TikTok and YouTube to the last second, made in a browser. Write the exchange by hand, paste a Reddit thread or let the AI Story Writer draft the whole thing. Then give it a narrator: a voice that reads each scene and holds it on screen until the line lands. Export vertical, post, repeat tomorrow.
Story mode is free. Narration starts on Lite. The AI Story Writer ships with Studio.
Why a real story maker
The story deserves
a voice, not a workaround.
Chat story formats exploded while the tools stayed stuck. Three problems every story creator runs into, solved in one place.
Before
Texting-story apps went silent
The apps that made chat stories famous are mobile-only, export flat and often stamp a watermark on your work. No voice. No sound design. No desktop, no batch, no scale.
With ChatAnimate
A studio that talks back
Full-screen story slides with backgrounds, gradients, images and cinematic effects, plus a narrator voice that reads each scene and paces it. On the web, at desktop scale.
Before
Narrating means a mic and an editor
The classic Reddit narration pipeline: record the voice, import everything into an editor, sync every visual to the audio by hand, export, fix the sync, export again.
With ChatAnimate
Narration that syncs itself
Pick a narrator voice and generate the narration. Each scene holds until its voice finishes, playback paces itself and the export carries the voice in the mix.
Before
Flat robot voices kill retention
Same speed, same tone, line after line. Viewers register the drone within seconds and the swipe follows.
With ChatAnimate
Voices that act
Voice expression tags shape the delivery: pauses, emphasis, excited, sad, angry, whispering. English voices add fear, sarcasm, sighs and laughs. The text stays clean on screen.
How it works
Story in,
narrated video out.
No microphone. No recording session. No sync work in an editor. The pipeline that used to eat a weekend fits inside an upload slot.
Bring the story
Type the story slides yourself or paste a thread, a script or a one-line description. The AI Story Writer generates the slides with text and visuals from that description.
Give it a voice
Pick a narrator voice in the Story panel settings and generate the narration. Shape the delivery with expression tags where the story needs them to breathe.
Export and post
Render the vertical video with narration mixed in, sized for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Need a silent cut too? The mute toggle exports one without re-rendering the story.
What you get
The whole story
pipeline in one tab.
Story mode
Vertical full-screen story slides with solid, gradient and image backgrounds plus adjustment controls for blur, brightness, contrast, saturation, vignette and grain.
Narration
One narrator voice for the whole story. Each narrated scene holds on screen until the voice finishes reading it, so the pacing matches the narration in the export.
Voice expressions
Tags like pause, emphasis, excited, sad, angry and whispering shape the delivery. English voices add fear, sarcasm, sighs, gasps, chuckles and laughs.
Chat stories with a cast
Prefer the exchange format? Chat mode gives every participant their own voice, with typing sounds and read receipts keeping the scene alive.
AI Story Writer
Describe the story in a line and get multi-slide stories with text and visuals, editable before anything renders. One AI credit per use on Studio.
Chaining and effects
Chain story scenes with other modes for multi-beat videos. Dress the story with premium cinematic effects on Studio.
Who it is for
The people who tell
stories for a living.
Reddit and TikTok narrators
You turn threads and horror stories into narrated vertical videos daily and the recording plus editing pipeline is the bottleneck on your output.
A story a day without touching a microphone or a timeline.
Texting-story creators
You grew up on chat story apps and keep hitting their ceilings: watermarks, no voices, mobile-only, one video at a time.
The same format with sound, scale and a watermark-free export.
YouTube storytellers
Your channel needs story segments and chat-drama scenes that hold viewers through the mid-roll and you produce them without a production crew.
Narrated story segments that pace themselves to the voice.
