AI stickman video maker

How it works

1

Ask a question

“Why did Romans pee in their laundry?” Pick Short or YouTube, a length, a tone and a recurring character, or leave it on Auto.

2

Get a researched script

Notes grounded in Google Search, then a script with a hook, an open loop and a payoff. An editor pass checks the facts.

3

Every scene drawn and narrated

A character sheet comes first, so the same stickman appears in every scene. One narrator reads the whole story in one take.

4

Edit, export, upload

Change any line or picture. Captions, labels, music and motion are added for you. Download a 1080p MP4 and an upload kit.

Everything a stickman explainer needs

One consistent character

A reference sheet is drawn first and used for every scene, so your stickman looks the same from the hook to the payoff.

Scripts built for retention

Each script follows a playbook: hook in the first line, open loop, escalation, twist, then a payoff that calls back to the hook.

Research you can check

Notes come from Google Search with a list of sources, and an editor pass removes claims the research does not support.

Edit any scene

Rewrite a line and it is re-voiced. Change what a scene shows and only that picture is redrawn.

Captions that stay out of the way

Karaoke, pop, clean or boxed captions, placed where they do not cover the character. Hand-lettered labels for key words.

Ready to upload

1080p MP4 in 9:16 or 16:9, plus alternative titles, a description and a thumbnail. You own every video you make.

Questions

What is StickTale?

An AI stickman video maker. You type a question, and it researches the topic, writes the script, draws every scene with the same stick-figure character, narrates it and exports an MP4.

How long does a video take?

About 2 minutes for a 45 to 60 second Short. Long-form videos up to 10 minutes take longer because there are more scenes to draw.

Can I use the videos on a monetized channel?

Yes. You own the videos you make and can use them on monetized YouTube channels, TikTok, courses and client work. Add your own angle and check facts, as you would with any script. See the terms.

Does the character stay the same in every scene?

Yes. StickTale draws a character reference sheet first and uses it for every picture. You can pick a preset, describe your own or let it choose one that fits the topic.

Can I edit the script and pictures?

Yes. Edit any line, change what a scene shows, add or remove scenes, and redraw a single picture or re-voice a single line without starting over.

Is there a free plan?

No. Plans start at $19 per month, and your first month is refundable within 14 days if you have used less than 20% of it. See pricing and the refund policy.
