See all 87 styles
Every style is included on every plan.
01 How it works
Three steps, one finished video
No editor, no timeline, no stock footage hunt. You make two decisions and the rest is rendered.
- 01
Type a topic
One sentence is enough. Claude writes a tight script with the hook in the first line and real facts with sources, not invented statistics.
- 02
Pick a style and a length
Kinetic type, Ink stickman or Diagram explainer, at 30 or 60 seconds. The credit cost is shown before anything starts.
- 03
Get the finished video
Voiceover by ElevenLabs, captions timed to the voice, music and sound effects. A 9:16 video in about 3 minutes, ready to post.
02 Drawn as code
Not dreamed up by a video model
Claude writes the storyboard: every word, shape and beat. Our renderer animates it frame by frame. That is the whole trick, and it is why these look the way they do.
Nothing drifts
A stick figure keeps its hands and a graph keeps its axis. No morphing between frames, no extra fingers.
Consistent every episode
Same fonts, colours and pacing on episode one and episode fifty, so a series looks like a series.
Real facts with sources
The script is built from facts you can check, the same rule the Script Studio has always followed: it does not invent numbers.
Captions timed to the voice
Captions are placed from the voiceover's own word timings, so every word lands as it is said.
No morphing faces
No uncanny presenters melting between frames. Faceless styles stay faceless, and the avatar style uses one consistent cartoon host.
03 What to make next
Know what to make before you make it
A finished video is only worth it if the topic is right. The planning tools WhatToUpload started with now feed the studio: find the idea, package it, then render it.
- Idea engineWhat to make next, from your niche and your channel's real upload history.
- Packaging LabTitles and hooks that belong together, before a second of video exists.
- Script StudioLong-form scripts that refuse to invent your facts, with version history.
- Thumbnail StudioSixty genre presets for your long-form uploads, judged at feed size.
- Creator BrainA memory of your creative decisions that you can read, correct and delete.
Creator Brain: what it has learned from your decisions, with the evidence.
04 The honest version
We're new, so here's what is true today
No borrowed logos, no testimonials from customers we don't have, no view counts we can't back. What we can show you is the work: every video in the styles gallery above came out of Video Studio as it is. Watch them, read the writing, and decide from evidence.
- 01
No view predictions
Nobody can predict views honestly, so we don't sell you a score for them.
- 02
Coming soon means not yet
Auto-posting and scheduling to YouTube, Instagram and TikTok (on Pro and Studio), series on autopilot and more styles are being built. None of them is in the app today.
- 03
Credits you can read
26 credits for a 30-second Kinetic type video, 30 for the other styles. You see the cost before you render.
- 04
You never pay for a failure
If a render fails, its credits go back to your balance automatically.

01What does WhatToUpload make?
+
Finished vertical videos for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok. You type a topic, pick a style and a length, and get a 9:16 video with a script, a voiceover by ElevenLabs, captions timed to the voice, music and sound effects. The planning tools WhatToUpload started with (the idea engine, packaging, scripts, thumbnails and Creator Brain) are still here and help you decide what each video should be about.
02Which styles are there?
+
Three are live: Kinetic type (huge words land as they are spoken, on paper with one red accent), Ink stickman (a stick figure drawn in ink as the narrator talks, with hand-lettered labels) and Diagram explainer (graphs, equations and shapes that draw on and morph on a dark grid). More styles are coming soon.
03How long does a video take?
+
About 3 minutes from pressing render to a finished video. Claude writes the script and storyboard, the voice is recorded, and our renderer draws every frame.
04Who owns the video?
+
You do. Download it and use it however you like, on your own channels or for clients.
05Can I post it anywhere and monetise it?
+
Yes. Post it to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok or anywhere else, and monetise it: the video is yours. Each platform's own rules still apply. YouTube's Partner Program, for example, does not pay for repetitive or mass-produced content, so use it to make good videos faster rather than to flood a channel with near-identical uploads.
06What does a video cost?
+
A 30-second video costs 26 credits in Kinetic type and 30 in Ink stickman or Diagram explainer. A 60-second video costs 42 or 48. Creator is $19/month for 500 credits (about 19 videos), Pro is $49/month for 2,000 (about 75) and Studio is $99/month for 4,500 (about 170), launch prices until 31 December 2026 that you keep while you stay subscribed. Credits roll over while you stay subscribed, and the price of every video shows before you render.
07What happens if a render fails?
+
The credits go back to your balance automatically. You never pay for a video you did not get.
08Can it post to YouTube, Instagram and TikTok for me?
+
Not yet. Auto-posting and scheduling to YouTube, Instagram and TikTok are coming soon, on Pro and Studio, and so is a series mode that makes episodes on a schedule. Today you download the finished video and upload it yourself.
09Does it use AI avatars or generated footage?
+
No generated video footage. Claude writes the storyboard and our renderer animates it as code: real fonts, drawn lines, plotted graphs, so the type stays sharp and nothing drifts between frames. One style, Avatar explainer, adds a consistent cartoon host; every other style is faceless.
10Can I cancel any time?
+
Yes. Cancel in two clicks from Settings and you keep access and your plan credits until the period you paid for ends. Failed renders refund their credits automatically, and top-up credits never expire.
