# AI Stick Figure Video Generator

Type an explainer, a story or a slice of history and get a stick figure video — a scene of stick figures for every beat, one narrator reading the script and captions on every word.

Canonical page: https://www.veedio.co/tools/ai-stick-figure-video-generator
Search intent: A faceless YouTube or Shorts creator, a teacher or a small business in the US or UK who wants the stick figure explainer and story format — the look of the stick figure YouTube channels — made from a typed script, not from a drawing they have to make or upload and animate.

## What it produces

- 5 to 8 scenes, each with one spoken line and one generated frame
- A minute by default; 30, 60, 90 or 180 seconds are selectable in the composer (paid plans to 180s). Scene length comes from the narration's true duration
- ElevenLabs voiceover: 5 voices, narrating in any of 29 languages
- Word-timed captions burned in from the voice model's own character alignment
- A licensed music bed, ducked under the narration, loudness-normalised master
- 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, 1080-class, no watermark on any plan

## Preset applied on this page

- Source type: prompt
- Voice: adam
- Captions: bold-center
- Music: lofi
- Visual style: comic
- Aspect ratio: 9:16

## The brief this page adds, verbatim

This string is prepended to whatever the visitor types before the scriptwriter
sees it — in the script preview on this page, in the video you generate after
clicking through to the composer, and in the API when you send
`preset: "ai-stick-figure-video-generator"`. It is the only difference between this page and
the others.

> Write a short narrated video told entirely with stick figures, in one narrator’s voice: an explainer, a story or a piece of history, whichever the user asks for. Open on the question, the problem or the moment it goes wrong as the hook, with no greeting. For an explainer, take one idea or step per scene in order; for a story, one moment per scene with a beginning, a problem and an ending; for history, one event per scene in the order it happened. End on a line that sums it up or makes the viewer want the next video. Give every stick figure a label and one detail, such as a red scarf, a top hat or a backpack, and describe it the same way every time it appears. Keep every fact to what is widely known; never invent a statistic, a study, a quote, a date or a source, and if you are not sure of a fact, leave it out. Use original figures only: no real person, celebrity or public figure named or drawn, and no character a studio, a show, a game or a brand owns; if the user names one, use a labelled stick figure instead. Keep it suitable for a general audience: no blood, no gore and no one hurt on screen. Each scene describes one frame as simple stick figures with round heads, single-line bodies and dot eyes, drawn in thick black lines, with a simple background and one prop that shows the idea, such as a road, a piggy bank or a coffee cup, and one clear pose rather than a figure moving through several actions; with no text, labels, numbers, speech bubbles or writing in the frame, and every mouth a closed line or not drawn, so no character is shown speaking.

## Example inputs from the page

- Why the Romans built roads so straight, explained by a stick figure engineer in a red cloak and a tired stick figure soldier who has to march on them
- How compound interest works, told as two stick figure friends who each save the same amount but start ten years apart
- A stick figure’s first day at a new job where everything goes wrong before nine o’clock, as a short funny story

## Getting started

Pick a plan at /pricing and start creating today. The widget on the page runs the
real scriptwriter with this preset and returns the script, the per-scene image
prompts and the estimated runtime. Rendering the visuals, voiceover and final
file spends credits.

## How it works

1. **Type the idea** — An explainer, a story or a history topic, with a label and one detail for each stick figure: the engineer in the red cloak, the friend with the backpack.
2. **Check the script before it renders** — It comes back one beat per scene. Check any fact, sharpen the ending or cut a scene before a single frame is generated.
3. **Post the stick figure video** — Vertical for Shorts, TikTok and Reels or 16:9 for a YouTube channel, published from the app or downloaded as a 1080p MP4.

## What an AI stick figure video from Veedio actually is

What this makes is a narrated stick figure video from a typed script: an explainer, a story or a piece of history told by simple stick figures, one scene for every beat, with one narrator and captions on every word. It starts from words, not a drawing: you type the idea, the script is written for stick figures, and every frame is generated from its own line. The page starts vertical, on the composer’s Comic look, with a deep, documentary narrator, a calm lo-fi music bed and Bold captions.

Each scene is one generated frame made from its own line of the script, so the video is a sequence of independent pictures joined by cuts, not one continuous filmed shot. On a paid plan each frame is set in motion by the video model with a few seconds of AI motion (68 credits for a five-scene video), or choose Stills in the composer and the same video is 13 credits, as pictures with a slow pan. That suits the stick figure format, which is told in clear single moments anyway: the problem, the figure who has it, the thing that fixes it.

## Script to stick figures, not a drawing brought to life

Most tools that come up for this search animate a stick figure you have already drawn. This one starts a step earlier, at the script. No drawing: this page does not animate a stick figure you drew or upload, and there is no pen tool to draw one in. Every figure is generated from words, so give each one a label and one detail — a red scarf, a top hat, a backpack — and the script repeats it in every scene. The figure stays recognisably the same, but every frame is generated on its own, so small details drift from frame to frame. No video or audio can be uploaded: every scene and every voice track is generated. If you already have footage and want a voice laid over it, this is the wrong tool, and we would rather say so before you pay.

It is not frame-by-frame stick figure animation. Nobody draws in-between frames, there is no rig or walk cycle, and a figure does not fight, run or dance across a scene the way it does in a hand-animated stick figure clip; each scene is one picture of one moment, and the next moment is the next scene. Nothing on screen talks: there are no moving mouths and no lip sync. One narrator voice tells the whole video, dialogue included, and the captions carry the words. What carries a stick figure video is the narration and the one clear picture per beat, which is why the format works for explainers.

## The stick figure look, and the facts behind it

Every frame asks for stick figures — round heads, single-line bodies, dot eyes — drawn with heavy black outlines in the composer’s Comic look. That look adds flat colour and a little halftone shading, so the figures stand on simple coloured backgrounds rather than a plain white page, and the image model does not always keep a figure to bare lines: some come back with a filled-in body or a hint of clothing. It is the stick figure channel look, not a hand-drawn sketch on paper or a whiteboard. Anime and Watercolor are the composer’s other drawn looks, and the same script can be rendered again in either.

Facts in an explainer or a history video come from a language model, so the brief tells it to keep them to what is widely known, to invent no statistic, study, quote, date or source, and to leave out a fact it is not sure of. A model can still be wrong, so read the script before it renders: it comes back for you to check first, and you can change any line before a frame is generated. That matters on an explainer or history channel, where one wrong date in the comments costs more than the video earned. Every video is made on a plan: Mini is $7 a month, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee.

## Who it is for

- **Faceless explainer channels** — The stick figure explainer that history, money and psychology channels post, made from a typed topic with no drawing, no footage and no face on camera.
- **Teachers and tutors** — A process, an event or an idea acted out by labelled stick figures, one step per scene, to open a lesson or send home for review, with a script you check first.
- **Small businesses** — A how-it-works video in a plain, friendly look: the customer’s problem as one stick figure, your fix as the next scene, for a website or a social post.
- **Storytellers and comedy accounts** — A short funny story — the job interview, the first date, the group project — told by stick figures and one narrator, vertical and captioned.

| Voiceover | Record the narration yourself and re-record it whenever a line changes. | A deep, documentary narrator by default, 5 voices to choose from. |
| Captions | Typed in by hand and timed word by word. | Every word captioned in time with the voice. |
| Turnaround | Days of drawing and editing for a few minutes of video. | The script in moments and the video right after it. |
| Changing it | A new topic means a new set of drawings. | Change the script and render the video again. |

## FAQ

### What kind of stick figure video does it make?

What this makes is a narrated stick figure video from a typed script: an explainer, a story or a piece of history told by simple stick figures, one scene for every beat, with one narrator and captions on every word. It starts from words, not a drawing: you type the idea, the script is written for stick figures, and every frame is generated from its own line.

### Can it animate a stick figure I drew?

No drawing: this page does not animate a stick figure you drew or upload, and there is no pen tool to draw one in. Every figure is generated from words, so give each one a label and one detail — a red scarf, a top hat, a backpack — and the script repeats it in every scene. The figure stays recognisably the same, but every frame is generated on its own, so small details drift from frame to frame. No video or audio can be uploaded: every scene and every voice track is generated. If you already have footage and want a voice laid over it, this is the wrong tool, and we would rather say so before you pay.

### What do the stick figures look like?

Every frame asks for stick figures — round heads, single-line bodies, dot eyes — drawn with heavy black outlines in the composer’s Comic look. That look adds flat colour and a little halftone shading, so the figures stand on simple coloured backgrounds rather than a plain white page, and the image model does not always keep a figure to bare lines: some come back with a filled-in body or a hint of clothing. It is the stick figure channel look, not a hand-drawn sketch on paper or a whiteboard.

### Is it real stick figure animation, and do the pictures move?

It is not frame-by-frame stick figure animation. Nobody draws in-between frames, there is no rig or walk cycle, and a figure does not fight, run or dance across a scene the way it does in a hand-animated stick figure clip; each scene is one picture of one moment, and the next moment is the next scene. Each scene is one generated frame made from its own line of the script, so the video is a sequence of independent pictures joined by cuts, not one continuous filmed shot. On a paid plan each frame is set in motion by the video model with a few seconds of AI motion (68 credits for a five-scene video), or choose Stills in the composer and the same video is 13 credits, as pictures with a slow pan. Nothing on screen talks: there are no moving mouths and no lip sync. One narrator voice tells the whole video, dialogue included, and the captions carry the words.

### Are the facts in an explainer or history video accurate?

Facts in an explainer or a history video come from a language model, so the brief tells it to keep them to what is widely known, to invent no statistic, study, quote, date or source, and to leave out a fact it is not sure of. A model can still be wrong, so read the script before it renders: it comes back for you to check first, and you can change any line before a frame is generated.

### Can it put labels, numbers or speech bubbles in the pictures?

Not inside the pictures: the frames are drawn with no writing in them, because generated lettering comes out garbled. The captions carry every word of the narration, so a date, a number or a line of dialogue is read and shown at the same time.

### Can I make it for a YouTube channel as well as Shorts?

Yes. The page starts vertical (9:16), and 16:9 and 1:1 are in the composer on every plan. Connect TikTok, Instagram and YouTube once and publish to TikTok, Reels and Shorts from the app, on every plan. Mini connects 1 account, Starter 3, Pro 6 and Studio 25. There are 5 voices, all recorded in American English. There is no British, Irish or Australian voice and no voice cloning. The narration and captions can be in any of 29 languages — French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Polish among them — chosen in the composer; the voices read them, but a native listener may hear the American accent, so listen to the first one before you post a series.

### What does it cost, and how long can a video be?

Plans are monthly: Mini $7 (200 credits), Starter $19 (600 credits), Pro $49 (2,000 credits), Studio $149 (7,500 credits). A five-scene short in pictures costs 13 credits; with AI motion in every scene it costs 68. You see the price before you generate, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee. Starter ($19 a month, 600 credits) covers about 46 five-scene shorts in pictures, or about 8 with AI motion in every scene. Every paid plan makes videos of 30 seconds, one minute, 90 seconds or three minutes; a longer video has more scenes and costs more credits, and you see the price before you generate. You own the videos on every plan and can use them commercially, paid ads included. There is no watermark on any plan, the export is 1080p, and the music beds are licensed for commercial use with no attribution.

### Do I have to sign up to try this?

Yes, and pick a plan: Mini is $7 a month, and the first payment has a 7-day money-back guarantee. On a plan, the box at the top writes the script and the shot list for no credits — that is the part that decides whether the video is worth making.

### Do I own the videos, and is there a watermark?

You own them, on every plan, and there is no watermark on any plan, no resolution cap and no platform withheld. Four things do follow the plan, because they are what a video costs to make: AI motion and sound effects need Starter, and a presenter avatar and the choice of video model need Pro. Everything else — every voice, every language, every caption style, every aspect ratio — is the same on all of them.
