Stories and characters

Stickman videos that act your idea out

Expressive stick figures walk, point, argue and celebrate as the voice tells the story. They are drawn live by the engine, so there are no pictures to buy, and you can pose any figure yourself.

How it works

Free account. You approve the script before any picture is drawn.

For Psychology, history, money and self-improvement channels

A stick figure holds up a coin under the title 20% savings, with word-by-word captions.

A real StrokeTale video, drawn live in your browser by the engine that renders the MP4. Press play to watch it from the start.

What you get

Made for this kind of video.

  • 57 poses

    Plus 14 expressions, hair, accessories and effects. Each move starts on the word it belongs to.

  • Your characters, named

    Each cast member gets a stick look of their own and keeps it in every scene.

  • Pose it yourself

    Pick a pose from the picture list, drag a figure into place, or let "Act it out" stage the scene for you.

  • No pictures to pay for

    Stick figures are drawn by our engine, so a stickman video needs no picture credits.

Good to know

  • Stick figures don't use charts or picture scenes; pick another look for those.

How it works

Three steps. No timeline.

Real screens from the app. Nothing is drawn, and nothing is paid, until you approve the script.

  1. The Topic step in StrokeTale: a topic typed in, the formats, the shape and the length.

    Tell us what to make

    Type a topic, paste your notes or a script, and pick the kind of video. Every setting can change later.

  2. Approve the script, free

    Read every scene and change it in plain words. Nothing is drawn, and nothing is paid, until you say yes.

  3. The StrokeTale editor: the drawn scene, the Director chat for changes in plain words, and the scene timeline.

    Watch it come to life

    Pictures, voice, captions and music arrive scene by scene. Change any scene by chatting, then download your MP4.

You stay in control

Nothing happens without your say.

You read the script before anything is drawn, change one scene by asking, and step back with Undo. Anything that uses credits shows its price first.

  • Approve the script first

    Edit any line, or ask for a new version. Scripts and revisions are free; pictures wait for your yes.

  • Change a scene by chatting

    Say what you want in plain words. Only that scene is redrawn, and scene edits are free.

  • Undo anything

    Every change can be undone, and your project saves itself as you go. Exports show their price before you confirm.

Questions

Straight answers.

Can I make stickman Shorts?

Yes. Stickman works in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1. Vertical ideas open in Shorts Studio.

Do stickman videos cost less?

They need no pictures, so the picture step is free. Exporting the MP4 uses credits like any video, and you see the price first.

How much control do I have?

All of it. You approve the script before anything is drawn, choose the look, hand, voice and music, and can change any scene, line or setting afterwards.

Can I edit after the video is made?

Yes. Ask the Director in plain words, or edit the words, pictures, figures, charts, captions and timing yourself. Only what you change is redone, and scene edits are free.

Who owns the videos I make?

You keep all rights in what you put in, and we give you all the rights we have in your videos, so you can publish them, including commercially, within our terms. Some countries don't protect AI-made material by copyright.

Is my content private?

Yes. Your projects are private unless you share them. We don't sell your data or use your content to train AI models, and you can download your data or delete your account at any time.
