## What ChatAnimate is
ChatAnimate is a chat-animation studio. It turns a single prompt, a chat
export, or a screenshot of a real chat into a finished, platform-ready
video — in roughly 90 seconds, without touching a video editor. Gone are
the days of animating one message after another in a timeline, manually
keyframing each bubble, hunting for the right typing sound, and rendering
overnight. ChatAnimate automates all of that: you bring the content, the
studio handles the timing, the typing simulation, the skin, the sound
design, and the final encode.
The platform is built for three overlapping audiences. **Content creators
and marketers** use it to repurpose real chat logs — a customer DM that
closed a sale, a funny WhatsApp exchange, a Slack thread that captures a
team's reaction — into short vertical videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels,
and YouTube Shorts. The skin system reproduces the look of WhatsApp,
iMessage, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, Slack, Discord and a dozen retro
platforms (AIM 2001, MSN 2004, ICQ 1999, Nokia 3310, BlackBerry BBM,
MySpace 2006 and more), so the resulting video looks like a real phone
screen, not a slideshow of text cards. Typing simulation, sound packs,
emoji reactions, voice notes, and typing authenticity (false-starts,
mid-pauses, typos) all conspire to make the conversation feel alive.
**Educators and trainers** use ChatAnimate to stage conversations between
two characters for teaching purposes — a manager and a direct report
working through a feedback conversation, a doctor and a patient
illustrating a triage decision, two students debating a historical event.
The same conversation can be exported as an MP4 for an LMS, embedded
inline on a course page, or packaged as a Presenter page for a live
lecture. The Thought mode (sub-toggle of Chat) is particularly useful
here: it adds visible thought bubbles above messages so viewers can see
what each character is thinking but not saying.
**Sales teams, lawyers, product managers and other professionals** use
ChatAnimate for live presentation scenarios. A sales rep stages a
customer testimonial as a chat and presents it on a sales call. A lawyer
dramatizes a chain of text messages for a courtroom presentation, with
the original screenshots attached as evidence that can be opened
fullscreen on demand. A product manager walks through a user-research
finding in an all-hands, with the conversation playing in real time and
presenter notes visible only to them. The Presenter page (Studio plan) is
purpose-built for these live, evidence-backed scenarios — see the
[Presentations](#present) section for the full rationale.
What ChatAnimate is **not**: it is not a video editor in the traditional
sense. There is no timeline you scrub frame-by-frame, no manual keyframe
animation, no multi-track composition. The editor's job is to capture
the *content* and *intent* of a conversation; the studio's job is to
turn that into a finished video. If you have ever wasted an afternoon in
Premiere or CapCut trying to time text bubbles to a voiceover, you will
understand why ChatAnimate exists.

## The 9 creation modes
ChatAnimate has 9 creation modes. Each mode produces a fundamentally
different kind of video. You switch modes with the mode selector at the
top-left of the editor. The per-mode feature matrix is at
`/feature-references`.
### Chat
The foundational mode. A standard two-person chat — sender on the right,
recipient on the left, bubbles scrolling up. This is what most users
start with and what most social content uses. Available on every plan
including Free. Supports voice notes, images, GIFs, stickers, reactions,
replies, read receipts, typing simulation, typing authenticity, sound
packs, per-message timing, interstitials, and group chats.
### Story
A vertical full-screen story format, mimicking Instagram Stories or
TikTok. Story mode is **always muted** — there is no audio track. Use it
when the visuals and text carry the message and sound would distract.
Available on every plan. Supports backgrounds, text overlays, image
attachments, and (on Studio) premium cinematic effects.
### Notifications
A stack of phone notifications instead of a chat thread. Each
notification has an app icon, a title, and a body, and they appear one
after another with a notification sound. Always audible. Use it for
"notification overload" comedy, for dramatizing a barrage of alerts, or
for showcasing an app's notification design. 33 pre-decoded sound packs
are included. Available on every plan. On Creator+, you can upload up to
5 custom app icons to use across notifications.
### Comments
A social-media comment stream — Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Reddit or
Facebook. Each comment has a username, avatar, text and timestamp.
Available on every plan with the basic platform; Creator+ unlocks the
premium platform picker (Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Reddit,
Facebook). Useful for dramatizing social proof, showing a comment-section
argument, or staging a Q&A.
### Hook
An intro-only cinematic clip. There are no messages in Hook mode — just
the opener. Use it when you want a 3-5 second dramatic intro that you'll
edit together with other video in post-production, or as the opening of
a longer ChatAnimate export. Available on every plan. Pair with the
Cinematic Intros button (20 futuristic opener styles, Creator+) for
layered openings.
### Slides
A slide-deck style with 27+ animation strategies. Slides can include
text, images, and video clips. Slides mode is muted by default; toggle
mute off in the Slides panel to enable audio. Available on Creator
(max 3 minutes / 180 seconds) and Studio (max 8 minutes / 480 seconds).
Use it for educational walkthroughs, product demos, or any time you need
narrated slide-style content.
### Thought (sub-toggle of Chat)
A sub-toggle of Chat mode that shows thought bubbles above messages. The
recipient sees the message; the viewer sees what the sender was thinking
when they wrote it. Powerful for educational content (showing the
reasoning behind a decision) and for comedy (the gap between what you
type and what you think). Available on Creator+.
### Unsent (sub-toggle of Chat)
A sub-toggle of Chat mode that shows typed-but-unsent drafts. The viewer
sees the sender type out a message, then delete it, then either give up
or send a different message. Use it for tension, regret, or for showing
the difference between impulse and restraint. Available on Creator+.
### BeatSync (currently disabled)
A music-first mode where scene switches sync to the beat of an uploaded
music track. BPM is auto-detected. BeatSync is currently disabled in
production due to known rendering issues. When re-enabled, it will be
available on Creator (max 20s song) and Studio (max 45s song) with 10
beat-interpretation presets.
---
## Editor anatomy
The Studio editor (`/editor`) is where every conversation is built. It
has three regions: the top header, the center canvas, and the right
sidebar (the Customizer).
### Top header
The header contains the mode selector on the left and a row of feature
buttons on the right. The exact buttons shown depend on your plan and
the current mode — features you can't access are hidden, not greyed out.
The header buttons, grouped by purpose:

**Save:**
- **Save** (Creator+) — Persist the conversation to your account.
Creator can save 20 conversations; Studio has unlimited saves.
### Center canvas
The center canvas shows the phone preview — a rendered phone frame with
the chat skin applied and the conversation messages scrolling inside it.
Below the phone is the **Timeline panel**, which shows every message as
a row with its start time, duration, and typing speed. Click any row to
select that message and adjust its timing in the right panel.
The Timeline panel is also where you add **interstitials** —
between-message cards like lock-screen overlays, time-jump cards
("2 hours later…"), or custom cards. Interstitials are available on
every plan.
### Right sidebar — the Customizer
The Customizer has five tabs. Each tab is described in detail in its
own section below.
#### Look tab
The Look tab is where you change the visual appearance of the
conversation. It has three sub-tabs:
- **Skin** — Pick from 20+ skins (modern: WhatsApp iOS/Android, iMessage,
Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, Slack, Discord, GPT, and more; retro:
AIM 2001, MSN 2004, ICQ 1999, Nokia 3310, BlackBerry BBM, MySpace
2006, and more). The skin applies instantly.
- **Background** — Pick a preset wallpaper or upload your own (Lite+ for
upload). Background renders behind the conversation.
- **Appearance** — Recolor bubbles, text, accents, status bar, and
header background. Upload a custom font (.ttf or .otf, 5 MB max,
Creator+). Toggle overlays like Thought Mode and Unsent Mode.
The full Appearance sub-tab covers: bubble color (sender and recipient
separately), text color (sender and recipient), accent color (used for
links, timestamps, read receipts), status bar color, header background
color, font family, and bubble opacity. Changes preview live — you see
the result in the phone canvas immediately.
#### People tab
The People tab is where you set who is in the conversation. You can:
- Edit the sender's name and the recipient's name (these appear on the
bubbles and in the timeline).
- Upload avatars for sender and recipient (2 MB max image).
- Toggle **Group Chat** on (see [Group chats](#groupchats) below for
details).
- For Notification mode: configure the app name and icon per
notification.
#### Time tab
The Time tab controls the timing and pacing of the conversation.
- **Typing Simulation** — Toggle the typing bubble on/off. When on, a
typing indicator appears before each message is sent.
- **Read Receipt Delay** — How long after a message is sent before the
read receipt (double-tick) appears. Default 0.4 seconds.
- **Default Gap Between Messages** — The default pause between one
message ending and the next starting. Override per-message in the
Timeline panel.
- **Pre-Sequences** — Add a phone-unlock animation, an incoming-call
overlay, or a notification banner before the first message.
#### Audio tab (Chat mode only)
The Audio tab is hidden in Slides mode (Slides are muted by default;
toggle mute off in the Slides panel to enable audio). In Chat mode:
- **Sound Pack** — Pick from the sound pack library. Each pack contains
typing, sent, and incoming sounds that match a specific phone OS or
messaging app.
- **Per-Message Sound Clips** — Override the default sound for any
individual message. Click a message to expand, then pick a sound from
the dropdown.
- **Volume** — Master volume slider (0-100). Affects all sound clips
and voice notes.
- **Mute** — Toggle the entire audio track off.
In Notifications mode, the Audio tab is replaced by a per-mode volume
slider and the 33 pre-decoded notification sound packs.
#### More tab (Chat mode only)
The More tab holds advanced features:
- **Brand Kit** (Creator+) — Save the current colors, fonts, and
avatars as a reusable brand kit. Apply a saved brand kit to any
conversation to instantly reset its appearance.
- **Chroma Key** (Creator+) — Green-screen removal for image
backgrounds. Available on WhatsApp skins only.
- **Scene Chaining** (Creator+ for 3 scenes, Studio for 5 scenes) — Add
additional scenes to the conversation. Each scene is a separate
message thread that plays in sequence.

---
## Brand kits
A **brand kit** is a saved bundle of appearance settings — colors,
fonts, and avatars — that you can apply to any conversation with one
click. Brand kits exist so you don't have to manually reconfigure the
same color palette and font choice on every new conversation.
### When to use a brand kit
- You are an agency producing chat videos for multiple clients, each
with their own brand colors and logo.
- You are a content creator with a consistent visual identity across
your videos.
- You are a sales team that wants every testimonial video to look like
it came from the same brand.
### How to save a brand kit
1. Open the Customizer panel.
2. Configure your colors, fonts, and avatars in the Look and People
tabs.
3. Go to the More tab → Brand Kit.
4. Click "Create new kit" and give it a name.
5. The kit saves your current colors, fonts, and avatars.
### How to apply a brand kit
1. Open any conversation.

Brand kits are available in Chat mode and its sub-toggles (Thought,
Unsent). They are not available in Story, Notifications, Comments, Hook,
or Slides modes.
---
## Group chats
ChatAnimate supports **group chats** in Chat mode. A group chat has one
sender (you) and multiple recipients, each with their own name, color,
and avatar. Group chats are useful for dramatizing multi-person
conversations — a family group chat, a project team chat, a friend group
planning a trip.
### How to enable group chat
1. Open the Customizer panel.
2. Go to the People tab.
3. Toggle "Group Chat" on.
4. The recipient section expands to show a list of group members.
### How to add group members
1. With Group Chat enabled, click "Add Member".
2. Enter a name and upload an avatar (2 MB max).
3. The member is added with an auto-assigned color from the group color
palette (10 colors cycle through: red, yellow, blue, pink, purple,
teal, green, orange, dark orange, dark red).
4. Repeat for each additional member. There is no hard cap on group
member count, but conversations with more than ~10 members become
hard to follow on a phone screen.
### How to set the sender per message
1. Click a message row in the Timeline panel or click a bubble in the
phone canvas.
2. The message expand panel appears.
3. Pick the sender from the "Sender" dropdown (you, or any group
member).
4. The message reassigned instantly — the bubble moves to the left
(recipient side) or right (your side) depending on who sent it.
### Group chat behavior
- Each group member's bubbles render in their assigned color.
- The sender's bubbles always render on the right in the default color.
- Typing simulation works per-sender — when a recipient is "typing",
their avatar appears with the typing indicator.
- Read receipts appear per-recipient when supported by the skin.
---
## Content you can add to messages
Every message in ChatAnimate can hold more than just text. Here is the
full menu of content types.
### Text
The default. Type any text. Multi-line is supported. Emoji are rendered
as native Unicode emoji (no broken half-emoji frames — the typing engine
uses grapheme clusters so even complex emoji like family compositions
and flag sequences reveal as a single unit).
### Voice notes
Record audio directly in the editor or upload a pre-recorded audio file.
A waveform renders with the audio attached. Voice notes play during
export at the message's scheduled timing slot. Available on Lite+. In
Chat mode, hover a message row and click the Mic button to record or
upload.
### Images
Attach images to messages, backgrounds, and avatars. Available on Lite+.
In any image-supporting mode, click the Image button on a message row.
Adjust sizing and position in the message expand panel.
### Video clips (Slides mode only)
In Slides mode, attach MP4 or WebM video clips to slides. The video
plays inline during the slide's timing slot. Available on Lite+.
### GIFs
Search the Klipy GIF library by keyword and attach a GIF to any message.
GIFs play inline during export. Available on every plan in Chat, Comment
and Thought modes. Click the GIF button on a message row to search.
### Stickers
Browse the built-in sticker library by category. Click a sticker to
attach. Available on every plan in Chat, Comment and Thought modes.
Click the Sticker button on a message row.
### Emoji reactions
Add a per-message emoji reaction that appears above the bubble.
Available on Creator+. Click any message to expand, then click the
Reaction picker (emoji icon) and choose an emoji. Reaction timing is
shown on the Timeline.
### Replies / quoted messages
Quote a previous message in a reply. The reply bubble renders above the
new message with the quoted text and sender. Skin-gated — only
WhatsApp Android, WhatsApp iOS, Slack, and GPT skins support replies.
Click a message to expand, type the quoted text and sender in the Reply
input.
### Interstitials
Between-message cards. Three types:
- **Lock-screen** — A phone lock-screen overlay appears between two
messages.
- **Time-jump** — A "2 hours later…" card appears between two messages.
- **Custom** — A custom card with your own text and optional sound clip.
Available on every plan. Open the Timeline panel and click "Add
Interstitial" between any two messages.
### Sound clips
Override the default sound for any individual message. Available on
Creator+. Click a message to expand, open the Sound Clip dropdown, and
pick a sound from the library. Plays at the message's scheduled time.
### Per-message timing
Every message has its own Start Time, Duration, and Typing Speed. Adjust
these in the Timeline panel by clicking a message row and dragging the
sliders. The schedule updates live as you drag. Available on Creator+.
---
## Timing and typing authenticity
ChatAnimate's timing engine is what makes conversations feel real. There
are three layers.
### Layer 1 — Typing simulation
When enabled, a typing indicator (three bouncing dots) appears before
each message is sent. The duration of the typing indicator is calculated
from the message length and the typing speed. You can:
- Toggle typing simulation on/off in the Customizer → Time tab.
- Adjust the default typing speed in the Customizer → Time tab.
- Override the typing speed per message in the Timeline panel.
- Set a Read Receipt Delay (default 0.4 seconds) so the read receipt
appears shortly after the message is sent.
### Layer 2 — Typing authenticity
Typing authenticity adds realistic human imperfections to the typing
pattern. Available on Creator+. Open the Typing Authenticity button in
the editor header to configure.
There are four imperfection types:
- **False-starts** — The sender starts typing, deletes what they typed,
and starts over.
- **Mid-pauses** — The sender pauses mid-message before continuing.
- **Typos** — The sender makes a typo, deletes it, and types the
correct character.
- **Burst-sends** — The sender types a chunk quickly, then sends.
Pick a preset (casual, dramatic, professional) or reroll the seed for a
new pattern. The seed is deterministic — the same seed always produces
the same authenticity plan, so what you see in the preview is exactly
what you get in the export. Three intensity levels: subtle, medium,
chaotic.
### Layer 3 — Per-message timing
For full control, open the Timeline panel and click any message row.
Adjust:
- **Start Time** — When the message appears.
- **Duration** — How long the message takes to type and send.
- **Typing Speed** — Characters per second.
The schedule updates live. Available on Creator+.
### Why the timing engine matters
If you have ever watched a chat-animation video where the typing felt
robotic — every message the same length, every pause the same duration,
no human hesitation — you understand why this matters. The combination
of typing simulation + authenticity + per-message timing is what makes
a ChatAnimate video feel like a real conversation rather than a
slideshow of text cards.
---
## Audio and sound
Audio in ChatAnimate has three layers.
### Sound packs
A sound pack is a bundle of three sounds: typing, sent, and incoming.
Each pack is themed to match a specific phone OS or messaging app. Pick
a pack in the Customizer → Audio tab. All typing, sent, and incoming
sounds update instantly. Available on Creator+ in Chat mode.
### Per-message sound clips
Override the default sound for any individual message. Click a message
to expand, open the Sound Clip dropdown, and pick a sound from the
library. Plays at the message's scheduled time. Available on Creator+.
### Volume and mute
- **Master volume** — Slider 0-100 in the Customizer → Audio tab.
Affects all sound clips and voice notes.
- **Per-mode volume** — In Notifications mode, a separate volume slider
controls only notification sounds. The two volumes are independent —
muting one does not affect the other.
- **Mute** — Toggle the entire audio track off. Available on every plan.
### Notification sound packs
In Notifications mode, 33 pre-decoded sound packs are included. Each
pack is a different notification sound. Available on every plan.
### Audio in Slides mode
Slides are muted by default. To enable audio, toggle mute off in the
Slides panel. The Audio tab is hidden in Slides mode (typing/sent/
incoming sounds don't apply to slide decks).
### Audio in Story mode
Story mode is always muted. There is no audio track at all.
---
## Scenes and composition
A **scene** is a single message thread. Every conversation starts with
one scene. You can add more scenes to create multi-part stories.
### Single scene
The default. One scene per conversation. Add messages to that scene.
Export plays the single scene in order. Available on every plan.
### Multiple scenes (up to 3 on Creator, up to 5 on Studio)
Chain multiple scenes per conversation for multi-part stories. Each
scene is a separate message thread that plays in sequence. Available on
Creator (3 scenes) and Studio (5 scenes). Open the Customizer → More →
Scene Chaining and click "Add Scene".
### Scene tabs
With 2+ scenes, scene tabs appear at the top of the editor. Click a tab
to switch the active scene. Drag tabs to reorder the scene sequence.
### Scene chaining
Cross-scene continuity rules. Configure whether participants carry over
between scenes, whether the timestamp continues, etc. Available on
Studio. Open Customizer → More → Scene Chaining.
### Split-screen export
Render two phone perspectives side-by-side or stacked in the same
video. Available on Studio. Click the Split Screen button in the editor
header and pick a layout.
---
## AI tools
ChatAnimate includes 7 AI tools. Each costs credits; the credit budget
per plan is in the [Plans](#plans) section. All AI tools are accessed
from buttons in the editor header.
### AI Writer (Creator+, 1 credit)
Generate a full Chat conversation from a text prompt. Describe the
conversation you want — the characters, the topic, the tone — and the
AI generates a complete conversation that populates the editor. You can
then edit, restyle, and export. The 1-credit cost is the same regardless
of conversation length (up to 50 messages per generation).
### AI Story Writer (Studio, 1 credit)
Generate multi-slide Story content from a prompt. Describe the story
and the AI generates slides with text and visuals. Useful for narrative
content where the story is more important than the chat format.
### AI Comment Writer (Creator+, 1 credit)
Generate a comment stream with realistic usernames. Describe the post
and the AI generates a comment thread that looks like a real social-
media comment section. Pair with the premium platform picker
(Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook) for platform-
accurate styling.
### Screenshot to Animation (Creator+, 2 credits)
Upload a screenshot of a real chat (your own WhatsApp, a customer DM,
a Slack thread) and the AI extracts the messages into an editable
conversation. This is the fastest path from "I have this real chat" to
"I have a ChatAnimate video of it". After extraction, you can edit
text, change the skin, adjust timing, and export.
### Translate (Studio, 1 credit)
Translate all messages in a conversation to another language, in place.
Useful for repurposing content across markets — generate once in
English, translate to Spanish, French, German, Japanese, etc.
### Testimonial Mode (Creator+, 1 credit)
Generate a structured testimonial-style chat from a product
description. Describe the product and the testimonial angle (e.g.
"customer who saved 5 hours a week") and the AI generates a chat
conversation that reads like a real customer testimonial.
### Bulk Conversation Pack (Studio, 3 credits)
Generate multiple conversations at once from a theme. Useful for
content-calendar batches — describe a theme ("12 customer testimonials
for a SaaS landing page") and the AI generates 12 conversations in one
pass.
### Credit budget per plan
- Free: 0 credits/month (no AI access).
- Lite: 0 credits/month (no AI access).
- Creator: 40 credits/month.
- Studio: 80 credits/month.
You can top up credits with **credit packs** if you run out before the
month resets. See the [Plans](#plans) section.

## Import and templates
There are four ways to get content into the editor.
### JSON Import / Export (Free)
Save the full conversation state as a JSON file, or re-import a JSON
file to restore state. Use for backups, for moving conversations
between accounts, or for sharing templates with teammates. Available on
every plan. Open the editor header → Import/Export JSON.
### CSV / TXT Import (Creator+)
Bulk-import up to 200 messages (Creator) or 1000 messages (Studio)
from a .csv or .txt file with sender/message columns. Useful for
importing real chat exports — WhatsApp .txt exports, Slack JSON
exports converted to CSV, etc. Open the editor header → CSV Import.
### .txt chat export import (Free)
Import a real chat export (.txt format) from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack,
Discord or a generic text format. The parser auto-detects the format
and extracts messages, senders, and timestamps. Open the editor header
→ Import TXT.
### Quick Templates (Free)
Browse the quick-template gallery and load one into the editor. Each
template is a pre-built conversation you can customize. Open the
editor header → Templates.
---
## Export and output
ChatAnimate exports to three formats at three resolutions, plus four
special export types.
### MP4 Export (Free)
The default video format. MP4 files play everywhere — social platforms,
browsers, video editors. Available on every plan at 480p. 1080p
requires Lite+, 4K requires Lite or Studio (Creator does NOT include
4K — upgrade to Studio to regain).
### GIF Export (Creator+)
Export as an animated GIF instead of MP4. Useful for embedding in
emails, docs, and places that don't support video. Available on
Creator+.
### WebM Export (Creator+)
Export as WebM for web embedding. Smaller file size than MP4 for
equivalent quality. Available on Creator+.
### Resolutions
- **480p** — Free. Watermarked.
- **1080p HD** — Lite+. No watermark.
- **4K Ultra HD** — Lite or Studio. No watermark. (Creator does NOT
include 4K — upgrade to Studio to regain.)
### Watermark
- **Free** — ChatAnimate watermark on every export.
- **Lite+** — No watermark (automatic).
- **Studio** — Custom watermark: upload your own logo to replace the
default branding. Pair with White Label (Studio owner-only) to remove
all ChatAnimate branding from embeds and presenter pages.
### Batch Export (Studio)
Export up to 10 conversations in one batch. Open Dashboard → Exports →
Batch Export, select multiple conversations, click Render. All render
in queue.
### Email Export (Creator+)
Export the conversation as an email-campaign format. Useful for
marketing emails where you want to dramatize a customer conversation.
### Screenshot Export
Export a single frame of the conversation as a PNG image. Useful for
thumbnails and social cards.
### Muted Export
Toggle the audio track off in the export modal. Useful when you want a
silent video for autoplay environments (Instagram feeds, etc.).
### Export History (Creator+)
Open Dashboard → Exports to see all past exports with status and
download links. Re-download or re-render as needed. Video files are
retained per plan:
- Free: 3 days.
- Lite: 3 days.
- Creator: 7 days.
- Studio: 90 days.
### Save Conversations (Creator+)
Persist conversations to your account for later editing. Creator can
save 20 conversations; Studio has unlimited saves. Free and Lite are
exports-only — they cannot save conversations. Open the editor bottom
bar → Save.
---
## Presentations, replays, and sharing
This section covers the four ways to share ChatAnimate content beyond
the editor: Presenter pages, Embed Player, public Replays, and QR codes.
It also covers Debrief analytics.
### Why presentations exist
Presentations are not just "another export format". They are a
fundamentally different way to share a ChatAnimate conversation, built
specifically for **live presentation scenarios** where a static MP4
falls short. The clearest examples:
- **Conferences and lectures** — A speaker wants to walk an audience
through a staged conversation in real time, with the ability to pause,
skip, and show evidence (the original screenshot, a supporting
document) on demand.
- **Courtrooms and legal proceedings** — A lawyer dramatizes a chain of
text messages for the judge and jury. The Presenter page shows the
conversation playing in real time, with the original screenshots
attached as evidence that can be opened fullscreen on demand.
Presenter notes (visible only to the presenter) cue the lawyer on
what to say at each beat.
- **Sales demos and customer calls** — A sales rep stages a customer
testimonial as a chat and presents it on a live sales call. The
presenter controls let them pause for objection-handling, skip ahead
if the prospect is short on time, or jump back to a specific message
if a question comes up.
- **Internal training and all-hands** — A product manager walks through
a user-research finding in an all-hands meeting, with the conversation
playing in real time and the supporting evidence (interview clips,
survey results) attached to specific messages.
An MP4 is a passive video — press play, sit back, watch. A Presenter
page is a **live, controllable, evidence-backed** experience. The
presenter controls the playback; the audience sees the conversation
unfold beat by beat; the evidence is one click away whenever a point
needs substantiation.
### Presenter Mode (Studio)
Convert any conversation into a public shareable presentation page.
Open the editor header → Presenter Mode (Studio required).
A Presenter page includes:
- **Opening screen** — Title, subtitle, description, and a "Start"
button.
- **The conversation itself** — Plays in real time, with the presenter
controlling playback (play, pause, skip, jump back).
- **Closing screen** — A summary, a call to action, and contact info.
- **Presenter notes** — Notes visible only to the presenter (not to the
audience), cued to each message. Use them as a script, as reminders
of what to say at each beat, or as a list of evidence to introduce.
- **Evidence panel** — Attach screenshots, documents, or images to
specific messages. When the conversation reaches that message, the
evidence becomes available — click to open fullscreen.
The Presenter page is publicly accessible at `/presenter/{token}` — no
sign-in required to view. The owner can revoke the link at any time
from the dashboard.
### Embed Player (Studio)
Generate an embed code or shareable link to play the conversation
inline on any external site. Paste the embed code into your CMS,
docs site, or marketing page — the player renders inline with no
external platform dependency. Available on Studio. Open the editor
header → Embed Player.
### Public Replays (Free to share, Creator+ to view analytics)
Share a public replay link at `/replay/{token}`. Anonymous viewers can
play the conversation — no sign-in required. The owner gets analytics
on the Dashboard → Debrief page:
- **Dropoff histogram** — Where viewers stopped watching.
- **Completion rate** — What percentage of viewers watched to the end.
- **Share events** — When viewers shared the replay onward.
Available on Creator+ for analytics. The replay itself can be created
on any plan that can save conversations (Creator+).
### QR Code Overlay (Creator+)
Generate a QR code overlay on any video export. Enter a destination
URL (your website, a landing page, a signup form) and the QR code is
rendered as an overlay on the export. Available on Creator+. Open the
editor header → QR Code.
### Conversation Stats
View message count, total duration, and timing breakdown before you
export. Open the message list toolbar → Stats button. Useful for
planning export length and for verifying that the conversation fits
the platform's time limit (e.g. TikTok's 60-second cap for organic
posts). Available on every plan.
### Debrief Analytics (Creator+)
Per-replay analytics for shared replays. Open Dashboard → Debrief.
See dropoff histogram, completion rate, share events, and total view
count. Use it to understand which parts of your conversation are
engaging and which are losing viewers.
---
## Teams
ChatAnimate supports team collaboration on the Studio plan. A team has
one owner and up to 3 members.
### Team seats (Studio)
Invite up to 3 team members via email. Invitations expire after 7 days.
Open Dashboard → Team (Studio required) to invite, resend, or revoke
invitations.
### Shared resources
Conversations and brand kits can be shared across the team. The owner
controls what is shared; members get read-write access to shared
resources.
### Team usage rollup
The owner sees a rollup of team usage — total exports, total AI
credits used, total storage — on the Dashboard → Team page. Members
see only their own usage.
### Roles
- **Owner** — The Studio subscription holder. Can invite and remove
members, manage billing, manage API keys, manage all shared
resources.
- **Member** — Can use the team's Studio features (subject to the
team's monthly export and AI credit budgets). Can be granted access
to specific shared resources.
### White Label (Studio owner-only)
Remove all ChatAnimate branding for agency use. Automatically applied
on the Studio plan as the team owner. Custom watermark replaces
default branding. Embeds and presenter pages show no ChatAnimate
branding.
---
## Studio API
The Studio API is a headless render API for agencies and integrations
that want to render ChatAnimate videos programmatically. Available on
the Studio plan.
### Authentication
Generate API keys in Dashboard → API Keys (Studio required). Each key
has the `ca_` prefix (e.g. `ca_abc123...`). Pass the key in the
`Authorization: Bearer <key>` header. Up to 5 API keys per Studio
account.
### Endpoints
- `POST /api/v1/render` — Dispatch a render job. Send the conversation
payload (same shape as the editor's serialization) plus export
options (format, resolution, watermark, etc.). Returns a job token.
- `GET /api/v1/render/{token}` — Poll the job status. Returns
`pending`, `processing`, `complete`, or `failed`. When complete, the
response includes the download URL.
### Rate limit
30 requests per minute per API key. Contact support if you need a
higher limit for a production integration.
### Payload shape
The payload is the same JSON shape that the editor serializes when you
click Export. The simplest way to get a valid payload is to build a
conversation in the editor, click Export, and capture the request from
your browser's network tab. You can then templatize that payload and
swap in different content for each render.
### Use cases
- **Content-calendar automation** — Render 30 videos overnight from a
spreadsheet of prompts.
- **Customer testimonial pipelines** — When a customer submits a
testimonial via your form, trigger a render and email them the video.
- **Localized content** — Render the same conversation in 10 languages
by swapping the message text via the API.
- **Internal reporting** — Render weekly conversation summaries as
videos for an internal dashboard.

configuration. If a number on the pricing page or in the editor
disagrees with this table, defer to the pricing page (`/pricing`) and
contact support.
| Limit | Free | Lite | Creator | Studio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly exports | 3 | 7 | 20 | 200 |

| CSV/TXT import messages | 20 | 30 | 50 | 50 |
| Save messages per scene | 20 | 30 | 300 | 1000 |
| Export messages per scene | 20 | 30 | 50 | 50 |
| Scenes per conversation | 1 | 1 | 3 | 5 |
| Batch exports | 0 | 0 | 0 | 10 |

| Video retention (R2) | 3 days | 3 days | 7 days | 90 days |
### Notes on the limits
- **Monthly exports** is resolution-agnostic. A Lite user can spend all
7 exports on 4K if they want — there is no per-resolution cap.
- **Saved conversations** is the number of conversations you can persist
to your account for later editing. Free and Lite are exports-only —
they cannot save.
- **AI credits** reset monthly on your billing date. Unused credits
don't roll over. Top up with credit packs if you run out.
- **CSV/TXT import messages** is the cap per single import operation.
You can do multiple imports per conversation up to the per-scene
message cap.
- **Save messages per scene** vs **Export messages per scene** are
different caps. You can save a long conversation (e.g. 300 messages
per scene on Creator) for replay/presenter purposes, but exports are
capped at 50 messages per scene (Creator and Studio) to keep render
wall-clock predictable.
- **Scenes per conversation** — Creator can chain up to 3 scenes;
Studio up to 5.
- **Batch exports** — Studio can render up to 10 conversations in one
batch.
- **Team members** — Studio can invite up to 3 members (4 total seats
including owner).
- **Brand kits** — Creator can save 1 brand kit; Studio can save 10.
- **API keys** — Studio can generate up to 5 API keys.
- **Image/voice storage** is the total storage for uploaded images and
voice notes across all your conversations.
- **Slides max duration** — Creator can render slides up to 3 minutes;
Studio up to 8 minutes.
- **BeatSync max song** — BeatSync is currently disabled. When re-
enabled, Creator will be capped at 20s songs and Studio at 45s.
- **Video retention** — How long rendered video files are kept on the
storage backend before being purged. Re-render anytime from the
Exports dashboard.

## Quick FAQ
### Can I use ChatAnimate without signing up?
You can browse the `/examples`, `/features`, `/pricing`, `/faq` and
`/llms-full.txt` pages without an account. To use the editor or
export, you need a free account.
### Can I try ChatAnimate before paying?
Yes. The Free plan includes 3 watermarked 480p exports per month, with
no credit card required. Sign up, open the editor, build a
conversation, and export.
### Do my credits roll over?
No. AI credits reset monthly on your billing date. Unused credits
don't carry over to the next month. Top up with credit packs if you
run out.
### Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Open Dashboard → Billing → Manage Subscription → Cancel. Your
subscription cancels at the end of the current billing period. You
keep access until then.
### Can I get a refund?
Refunds are handled case-by-case. If you forgot to cancel before a
renewal and haven't used the plan since the renewal date, contact
support within 7 days of the renewal for a full refund. Use the
contact form at `/contact`.
### Can I upgrade or downgrade between plans?
Yes, anytime. Upgrades take effect immediately and you're charged the
prorated difference. Downgrades take effect at the end of the current
billing period — you keep the higher-tier features until then.
### Can I switch between monthly and yearly billing?
Yes. Open the billing portal and switch. The change takes effect on
your next billing date.
### What happens to my saved conversations if I downgrade?
Your saved conversations are preserved, but if you exceed the new
plan's saved-conversation cap, the oldest conversations become read-
only until you upgrade again or delete some. Your exports and AI
credits are not affected.
### What happens to my brand kits if I downgrade from Studio to Creator?
You keep all 10 brand kits but cannot create new ones until you have
fewer than 1 (the Creator cap). Delete brand kits from the Brand Kits
dashboard to get under the cap.
### Can I use ChatAnimate for commercial purposes?
Yes. All plans, including Free, allow commercial use of the exported
videos. The Free plan's watermark remains on the video.
### Can I remove the ChatAnimate watermark?
Yes. Upgrade to Lite or higher — the watermark is automatically
removed. On Studio, you can replace it with your own custom watermark
and (with White Label) remove all ChatAnimate branding from embeds
and presenter pages.
### Does ChatAnimate support my language?
The editor UI is in English. The chat content can be in any language —
ChatAnimate uses Unicode throughout, so non-Latin scripts (CJK,
Arabic, Cyrillic, etc.) render correctly. The Translate AI tool
(Studio) can translate conversations between 30+ languages.
### Can I import a real WhatsApp chat?
Yes. Export the chat from WhatsApp as a .txt file, then use the
"Import TXT" button in the editor header. The parser auto-detects the
WhatsApp format and extracts messages, senders, and timestamps.
### Can I import a Slack export?
Yes. Slack exports as JSON. Use the "CSV Import" button (after
converting the JSON to CSV) or the "Import TXT" button (if you have a
Slack .txt export). Creator+ required.
### Can I import a Discord export?
Yes. Discord exports as JSON. Convert to CSV and use "CSV Import", or
use the "Import TXT" button for .txt exports. Creator+ required.
### How long does a render take?
Most renders complete in 60-120 seconds. 4K renders and batch exports
take longer — up to 10 minutes per 4K video, plus queue time. You'll
get an email when the render is complete.
### Can I render at 4K on Creator?
No. 4K is available on Lite and Studio only. Creator does NOT include
4K — this is intentional, not a bug. To get 4K, upgrade to Lite (if
you don't need AI tools) or Studio (if you do).
### Can I use ChatAnimate offline?
No. ChatAnimate is a web-based tool. The editor and the render pipeline
both require an internet connection.
### Can I host ChatAnimate on my own servers?
No. ChatAnimate is a hosted SaaS. If you need on-premise rendering,
contact support about enterprise plans.
### Can I get an API key on Creator?
No. API keys are Studio-only. The Studio API allows headless rendering
via `POST /api/v1/render` with a Bearer API key.
### Does ChatAnimate have a dark mode?
The editor is dark-themed by default. The public marketing pages
(`/`, `/pricing`, `/features`, etc.) are also dark-themed.
### How do I report a bug?
Use the contact form at `/contact` or email support. Include the
conversation URL (if applicable), the steps to reproduce, and a
screenshot or screen recording.
