Frequently asked questions
Is this Snapchat video maker free?
You can write, style and preview a conversation for free. Premium unlocks watermark-free Full HD, 4K and video exports.
Do I need to create an account?
No account is required to begin writing and previewing. Sign-in may be required when purchasing or using paid export features.
Can I create personal and group chats?
Yes. Create a direct exchange or add multiple named participants with individual avatars and assigned messages.
Can I edit names, avatars, timestamps and message status?
Yes. Those details can be adjusted so the fictional scene matches your script and intended visual context.

Use 9:16 for standard vertical platforms. The 9:19.5 option matches a taller modern iPhone-style canvas.

How should I disclose fictional content?
Avoid presenting generated chats as authentic evidence. Label fictional, satirical or promotional content when context could otherwise mislead viewers.
Can I use exports in monetized content?
You may use your original stories subject to applicable law, platform rules and third-party trademark or publicity rights.
How do I remove the watermark?
Choose a Premium plan before export. All Premium options include watermark-free output.
