About Chatimator

Chatimator — the chat animator. Say it out loud and the name explains the product: an editor that takes a written conversation and animates it into a video that looks like a real phone chat.

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 private, instant and affordable.

That bet shapes everything. Because there are no rendering servers to pay for, there's a free plan to start with and Pro costs just $5.99 a month. 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.
