Chatimator

Help center

Everything about making chat videos with Chatimator — from the first message to the exported MP4.

Getting started

Create your first chat video

From blank editor to exported MP4 in five minutes — writing messages, previewing, and exporting.

Platforms and styles

Switching between iMessage, WhatsApp and Instagram DM, light and dark mode, and iOS or Android chrome.

Generate a script with AI

Describe a story in a sentence and let AI write the whole conversation — cast, pacing, reactions and ending. Works for 1:1 and group chats.

Messages & styling

Photos, voice notes, reactions and replies

Adding rich messages — image and video bubbles, voice notes with waveforms, emoji reactions and quoted replies.

Keyboard mode

Showing outgoing messages being typed on an on-screen iOS or Android keyboard, with human rhythm and click sounds.

Exporting

Export settings and formats

Choosing between 9:16, square and 16:9, what resolution and frame rate you get, and how sounds are included.

Privacy & data

Where your projects are stored

Projects live in your browser's local storage — what that means, what persists, and what to watch out for.

Privacy: what leaves your device

Short answer — your conversations, media and exports never do. What Chatimator can and cannot see.

Troubleshooting

Export fails or is slow

Common causes — browser support for WebCodecs, hardware encoding, memory, and what to try first.
