Text to video AI

Text goes in.
A frame comes back before a video does.

Most text-to-video tools take your sentence, charge you, and hand back something you did not picture. We render a single still frame first and show it to you for free - the clip is then built from that exact frame, so the thing you approved is the thing you get.

Step one: write it however you write

Plain language is fine. "Tiny astronaut in my coffee" is a real prompt that produced a real clip on this site. You do not need to know what a 100mm macro lens or an anamorphic flare is.

If you want the cinematic version, prompt rewriting expands your sentence into actual direction - lens, lighting, movement, colour grade - and it is free and unlimited. It does not spend anything, so there is no reason to ration it.

Step two: look at the still

We render one frame from the prompt and put it in front of you. This is the part other tools skip, and it is the part that decides everything: the video is generated from this frame, so its composition, its subject and its lighting are already fixed here.

If it is not right, regenerate - up to 3 times per clip, free. Nothing has been spent yet, and nothing will be until you say so.

Step three: approve, and only then spend

Approving the still is the single action that costs a video. It is deliberate, it happens after you have seen the frame, and it is the only place in the product where your balance moves.

Generation usually takes two to five minutes. You do not have to wait on the page - the finished video appears in your history when it is ready.

What comes out

A downloadable file with no watermark, in 9:16 vertical for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 16:9 for YouTube and landscape.

Each clip is 8 seconds. A project holds up to 10 clips on a timeline, so a single piece can run to 80 seconds, and each clip continues from the one before it so the character and setting stay consistent across the sequence.

Videos are kept for 13 days from creation. Download what you want to keep.

Questions

How does text to video actually work here?
You write a description, we render one still frame from it and show it to you for free, you regenerate the still until it is right (up to 3 times per clip), and then you approve it. The video is generated from that approved frame and appears in your history in about two to five minutes.
Do I need to write a detailed prompt?
No. Short plain-language prompts work, and free prompt rewriting will expand yours into cinematic direction if you want it to. Rewriting never costs anything.
What aspect ratios can I generate?
Two: 9:16 vertical for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, and 16:9 for YouTube and landscape. There is no 1:1 square option, because the video model behind the product cannot render square.
How long does a video take to generate?
Usually two to five minutes. You do not have to watch it happen - it lands in your history when it is done.
What does it cost to try?
Nothing, and no credit card is asked for. Prompts and prompt rewrites are free and unlimited, and every clip gets a free still preview plus 3 free regenerations of it. The one thing that costs money is rendering an approved still into video, which is bought outright rather than subscribed to.
