About Chatimator
Text-story videos are one of the most-watched formats on the internet, but the tools for making them were either paywalled at exactly the feature everyone needs — video export — or produced chats that didn't look quite real. Chatimator started with a simple bet: if rendering happens in the browser instead of on a server farm, video export can be free, private and instant.
That bet shapes everything. Because there are no rendering servers to pay for, the free tier can include the things that matter: 1080p 60fps export, no watermark, no account. Because nothing is uploaded, privacy isn't a policy — it's architecture. And because one deterministic renderer draws both the live preview and the exported file, what you see is exactly what you post.
The other obsession is fidelity. Real status bars for iOS and Android. WhatsApp's voice-note anatomy down to the mic badge. Typing that moves like human hands — variable rhythm, hesitations, fat-finger typos that get backspaced and fixed. The details are the product.
Principles
Free core, forever
What's free today stays free. Pro will add power, not ransom basics.
Privacy by architecture
Client-side rendering means your scripts can't leak — we never have them.
Fiction, labeled
Built for skits and stories, not deception. Label fictional content clearly.
