Turns PDFs, stories or ideas into animated, narrated web books, paper-puppet picture films, documentaries and vertical shorts.

Image & VideoAdvanced★ 1,019⑂ 140AI score 9/10Last updated: Oct 29, 2026

What it does

  • From a textbook PDF: builds per-chapter animated lesson films where the artwork explains, narration speaks it, and quick checks live inside the picture.
  • From a story, joke or fairy tale: builds paper-puppet picture book films with voices, sound effects and music.
  • From a book, argument or slice of history: builds public-domain documentaries, or upright shorts under three minutes for phone feeds.
  • Output is runnable static files: an SVG stage (1600×900, or 900×1600 for shorts) plus a player, with "beats" pairing narration clips to timed actions.
  • Ships a toolbox of scripts for linting, beat screenshots, Firefox frame timing, loudness levelling, MP4/.srt export and TTS with word timings.

Who it's for

  • Educators and edtech teams converting course books into video-style lessons
  • Creators turning fairy tales into animated picture books
  • Content producers making book documentaries or YouTube Shorts/TikTok clips
  • Intermediate-to-advanced users comfortable with CLI tooling (uv, ffmpeg, Playwright)

Examples

  1. "Make chapter 3 of this physics PDF into an animated lesson" → page map, outline, chapter film plus practice items.
  2. "Turn Little Red Riding Hood into a picture book film" → puppets, sets, voices and effects per scene.
  3. "Make a short about this for YouTube Shorts" → upright 900×1600 stage, one point, under three minutes.
