What people make
Each one is a finished deliverable — not a feature, not a setting. Pick the one that sounds like your next post and the capabilities you need to make it are listed below.
Cold open plus first message. The format that earns the next 30 seconds of attention on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
Why it works: The first three seconds decide everything. A cinematic cold open buys you the watch-time to land the punchline.
A real chat log turned into a branded testimonial. More credible than a quote, faster than a video edit.
Why it works: Chat format reads as authentic — viewers treat it like a real conversation, not a scripted ad.
Two-character exchange with cinematic overlays and a punchline that lands. Built for the For You page.
Why it works: Reaction content dominates the algorithm. Cinematic overlays + a tight script = the shareable format.
A three-scene walkthrough that lives on your landing page as an inline animation. No autoplay block, no external player.
Why it works: Embedded chat animations out-convert static screenshots — and they don't get blocked by browsers or ad blockers.
AI writes 12 scripts, batch render action. Get back a month worth of content.
Why it works: Volume compounds. Twelve shipped beats one perfect and batch render means the effort per unit drops to near zero.
One conversation, translated into 8 languages. Localize a campaign without re-shooting anything.
Why it works: Translation preserves the informal register — your Spanish version sounds like a real chat, not a localized corporate video.
Get Attention
The first three seconds decide everything. Build openings so arresting that scrolling past feels like a conscious decision your viewer isn't willing to make — then earn the next 30 seconds with formats designed to hold.
A cinematic cold open before the first message
View detailsBefore a single bubble appears, your viewer is already hooked. Hook Intros create a dramatic opening sequence that sets the stakes — the difference between content that gets watched and content that gets skipped.
Layer dramatic effects directly over any conversation
View detailsText bubbles alone don't create emotion — context does. Overlays let you apply spotlight focus, dramatic zooms, and mood-setting treatments that make each message feel like a scene.
Conversations rendered as authentic phone alerts
View detailsThe way people actually receive messages. Notification mode renders your conversations as real push alerts — perfect for reaction content and showcasing chats the way your audience experiences them daily.
Build tension as notifications pile up one by one
View detailsNotifications arrive in sequence, stacking on screen to create mounting urgency before the reveal. It's a format viewers recognise from viral content and physically cannot look away from.
Render the conversation as a social-media comment thread
View detailsThe comment-thread format is one of the most engaging on the internet — viewers instinctively scroll down to read the next reply. Comments Mode renders your script as a Reddit-, Instagram-, or YouTube-style comment section, perfect for hot-takes, fake AMAs, and "what people are saying about X" reels.
The "they unsent this" moment, built in
View detailsShows messages being typed then deleted — the classic unsent-message format that has gone viral on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Built specifically for that reaction-bait moment. No other tool does this cleanly.
Reveal what each character is actually thinking
View detailsAdds a second narrative layer. Thought Mode shows internal-monologue bubbles alongside what the character types the subtext viewers crave. Perfect for comedy, reaction content and the "what they said vs what they meant" meme format that goes viral every cycle. Viewers feel like they are in on a secret.
Tell Stories
Story mode turns a flat conversation into a narrative with genuine pacing, tension, and payoff — the structure that turns a 15-second clip into a 90-second watched-all-the-way-through.
Multi-scene narrative pacing, all built in
View detailsA conversation isn't just messages — it's a story. Control the rhythm: build tension across scenes, hold back the reveal, then land the punchline at exactly the right moment.
The visual effects that drive millions of views
View detailsEvery effect modelled on what actually performs on TikTok and Reels — dramatic zooms, screen shake, the reaction-bait text animations that dominate every For You page.
Smooth cuts that keep the story moving
View detailsAbrupt cuts kill momentum. Transitions move viewers between moments without the jarring jump that causes tap-aways — smooth fades to dramatic wipes, all tuned for chat content.
Open before the first message, like a film
View detailsEvery great piece of content earns its audience before the main event. A pre-message sequence — atmosphere, context, intent — all before word one. It signals: this is worth watching.
Turn the conversation into a presentation
View detailsNot just a vertical video — a real presentation. Slides Mode turns your conversation into a slide-deck-style walkthrough with cinematic transitions, hold durations, and a progress bar. Opens up use cases vertical video cannot reach: sales demos, LinkedIn content, webinar clips, internal training, and product walkthroughs. Each slide is a scene; each transition is a moment.
Work with AI
AI writes the conversation, animates it, and hands it back ready to export. What took thirty minutes now takes thirty seconds — you focus on publishing, not formatting.
Full chat scripts from a single sentence
View detailsDescribe the conversation you want — AI Writer generates realistic dialogue that sounds like real people, with natural timing and the texture of how people actually text.
Complete narratives with beginning, escalation, and payoff
View detailsAI Writer gives you a conversation. AI Story Writer gives you a complete story — across multiple scenes, with transitions built in and pacing already handled.
Reach any audience in their native language
View detailsYour best content shouldn't be limited by language. Translate preserves the informal register and conversational texture of the original — not a literal translation, but dialogue that sounds native.
Upload a screenshot, receive an animated video
View detailsAlready have a conversation saved? Don't recreate it message by message. Upload the image — ChatAnimate reads it, reconstructs it as editable bubbles, and delivers an animation-ready mockup.
A one-line brief becomes a polished customer story
View detailsTurn a few inputs — business name, the problem, the outcome, the value delivered — into a credible customer-testimonial conversation. More authentic than a written quote, faster than a video edit. Agencies and SaaS marketers will pay for this alone — it collapses a thirty-minute writing task into thirty seconds.
Generate comment-thread conversations in one click
View detailsPairs with Comments Mode for a complete social-proof workflow. Describe the topic, the voices, and the angles — AI Comment Writer generates a multi-voice comment thread that reads like a real Reddit or YouTube section. The two features multiply each other: writer gives you the script, Comments Mode gives you the format.
Generate multiple scripts in a single session
View detailsContent calendars don't run on one video at a time. Bulk conversations generate multiple distinct scripts simultaneously — volume without the grind.
Build Your Brand
Brand recognition compounds. The more consistent your content looks, the faster your audience builds — and the less time you spend re-explaining your visual identity every time you ship.
iMessage, WhatsApp, or entirely your own
View detailsThe skin is the first thing viewers notice — it sets context and establishes authenticity. Choose from platform-accurate skins or build something that belongs entirely to your brand.
Your palette and typography, everywhere
View detailsTypography and color are the quiet carriers of brand identity. Set your choices once and every export looks like it came from the same studio.
Real faces, custom icons, or branded characters
View detailsCustom avatars let you assign real photos, branded illustrations, or emoji to each speaker — viewers follow the conversation at a glance and your content feels personal.
Set the scene behind every conversation
View detailsThe background isn't decoration — it's context. Set gradients, upload images, or use solid colors to match your aesthetic, amplify the mood, or match a client's visual identity.
Drop in a real chat log, skip the writing
View detailsAlready have the conversation? Import it directly. WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and Discord exports — both .txt and .json — are parsed into editable bubbles in seconds. The fastest path from "I have a real conversation" to "I have a video". No retyping, no AI step, no manual message-by-message recreation.
Float conversations over any footage or image
View detailsRemove the background entirely and overlay chat animations on footage, images, or graphics — composites that blend seamlessly into existing content. No green screen.
One click to apply your complete visual identity
View detailsBrand kits store everything — colors, fonts, skins & avatars as a saved profile. Apply it to any project with one click. Share it with your team.
Export Anywhere
Export exactly what each platform requires — the right resolution, the right format — straight to publish. No re-encoding, no second-pass renders, no "I'll fix it in Premiere".
480p free · 1080p Creator · 4K Studio
View detailsThree quality tiers to match what you actually need. Start with 480p free, upgrade to 1080p for social, or export 4K for client presentations.
Animated GIFs that play everywhere automatically
View detailsExports optimised animated GIFs that play in emails, Slack, Discord, and any web context — without a video player or a fast connection.
Web-native format with transparency support
View detailsWebM is what developers reach for when they need video with alpha transparency in a browser — animated chat overlays embedded in any product.
Clean, professional exports on every plan
View detailsCreator and Studio plans remove the ChatAnimate watermark automatically. Your work looks fully professional in every context.
Two conversations displayed simultaneously
View detailsShow two conversations side-by-side in a single export — reaction videos, before/after, parallel narratives: one video, double the content.
Live chat animations directly on your website
View detailsDrop an interactive chat animation on your website, landing page, or blog — no external platform, no redirects, no autoplay conflicts.
Scale Up
Batch export, replay analytics, API access, and webhooks turn ChatAnimate into a pipeline — not just a tool. From one video a week to twenty a month, same effort per unit — and the data to know which ones actually landed.
Queue a batch of exports and walk away
View detailsThe biggest hidden cost in content production isn't the first video — it's the next nineteen. Batch export queues up to twenty conversations at once and renders them in parallel, so a month of content ships in a single overnight run.
Work as a Team
Brand kits and shared seats mean no more inconsistency, no more guessing, no more rogue content — every member ships under the same identity from day one.
Every member creates under the same workspace
View detailsShared logins break audit trails. Team seats give every member their own login with individual history, the right access level, and no risk of overwriting each other's work.
Brand identity pre-loaded for every member
View detailsWhen someone joins your workspace, your complete visual identity is already there. Onboarding is instant and consistency is automatic — not something you have to hope for.
