# Text to Cartoon Video Generator

Paste a story, a script or a lesson you already wrote and get it back as a cartoon video — your words narrated, a bright cartoon scene drawn for every line, captions on each word.

Canonical page: https://www.veedio.co/tools/text-to-cartoon-video-generator
Search intent: Someone who already has the words — a story they made up, a script, a lesson, a family tale — and wants that text turned into a narrated cartoon video, often after asking an assistant to make a cartoon video of it.

## 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: elli
- Captions: bold-center
- Music: uplifting
- Visual style: 3d
- 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 free preview on this page, in the video you generate after
clicking through to the composer, and in the API when you send
`preset: "text-to-cartoon-video-generator"`. It is the only difference between this page and
the others.

> Turn the user's own text into a narrated cartoon video. If they say to keep their wording, or paste a finished story or script, keep it as close to the original as you can and only split it into scenes of one or two spoken sentences. Otherwise tighten it for the ear — short sentences, one event or idea per scene — while keeping the writer's characters, names, events, facts and ending exactly; never add a fact, a character, a plot twist or a moral the text does not have. Describe every scene through something a cartoon frame can show: a character doing something, a place, an object. Describe a recurring character the same way each time. Keep it gentle enough for a young viewer unless the text is plainly for adults, and put no real public figures, brands or characters someone else owns on screen.

## Example inputs from the page

- Keep my wording: Pip the snail wanted to see the sea. Every morning he set off down the garden path, and every evening the rain washed him back to the cabbages. On the hundredth morning, a seagull landed beside him and offered a ride.
- My lesson for eight-year-olds: plants make their own food. The leaves catch sunlight, the roots drink water from the soil, and tiny holes under each leaf take in air. Out of those three things the plant makes sugar, and it grows.
- A story my grandmother told: in the monsoon of her tenth year the river rose toward the village school, so every child carried the books up the hill to the temple, one sack at a time, and not one book got wet.

## 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. **Paste your text** — A story you made up, a script, a lesson, or notes. Say “keep my wording” to have it narrated as written.
2. **Read the scene split** — Your text comes back cut into scenes, each with the picture it will get — change any line before a frame is drawn.
3. **Drawn, voiced and captioned** — A bright cartoon frame per scene, a soft storytelling voice and bold captions timed to every word.

## Your story, not one the AI made up

Most cartoon video tools start from a one-line idea and write a story of their own. If you came here with text, that is the wrong way round: the story is already written, by you, and what you need is someone to draw it and read it aloud. So on this page the text you paste is the script, and the job is to cut it into scenes and give each one a picture.

Start with “keep my wording” and nothing is rewritten — the text is only split into scenes of a sentence or two. Leave it off and the lines are tightened for listening, but the brief may not add a character, a twist, a fact or a moral your text does not have, and your ending stays your ending. Either way you read the split before a single frame is drawn.

## Text that draws well, and text that does not

Every line becomes a cartoon frame, so a line with something in it to draw — a snail on a wet garden path, a child carrying a sack of books up a hill — comes out clear, and a line with nothing to draw — “he felt that life was unfair” — comes out vague. If a sentence of yours is all feeling, add the thing that shows it: the rain washing him back to the cabbages again.

Characters drift. Every scene is drawn on its own, so the snail in the first scene and the snail in the last will not match exactly. Describe a character the same way each time — “Pip, a small green snail with a yellow shell” — and the story holds together even when the drawing changes. 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 you get back, and what it costs

Each scene is one bright cartoon frame drawn from its own line. On a paid plan the video model sets each frame in motion by default — 68 credits for a five-scene video — or choose Stills in the composer and the same video is 13 credits, as drawn pictures with a slow pan. 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. A few short paragraphs fit in the box on this page; a longer story goes in the composer’s Script tab, which keeps your words and cuts them into scenes.

The narration and captions can be in any of 29 languages, chosen in the composer — Hindi and Tamil included. Urdu, Telugu, Bengali and Marathi are not in the list yet. The 5 voices were recorded in American English; they read the other languages too, but a native listener may hear the accent, so listen to the first one before you post a series. 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

- **Parents and grandparents** — The bedtime story you made up, or the one your family has told for years, as a cartoon the children can watch again.
- **Teachers** — This week’s lesson or a class story, in your wording, drawn scene by scene for the board or the class blog.
- **Writers of children’s stories** — A read-aloud version of a story you wrote, to hear how it lands before anyone else does.
- **Channels with their own scripts** — The script you already wrote, narrated and drawn in one cartoon look, without rewriting it for a tool.

## Compared with making it the usual way

| | The usual way | With Veedio |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Input | Hand your story to an animator, with a storyboard and a budget. | Paste the text. Your words become the script, scene by scene. |
| Visuals | Draw every scene yourself, or find clip art that does not match itself. | A bright cartoon frame per scene, drawn from your own line, all in one look. |
| Voiceover | Book a VO artist, or record yourself and cut the breaths out. | Five ElevenLabs voices, re-recorded free whenever the line changes. |
| Captions | Auto-captions that drift, then an hour nudging keyframes. | Burned in from the voice model’s own word alignment, so they land on the syllable. |
| Turnaround | Weeks for a short animated story, if you can find someone to make it. | Minutes, with the scene split read and approved before anything is drawn. |
| Changing it | Re-record the line, re-cut the timeline, re-export, re-upload. | Edit the line and only its voice is re-recorded, free. A new still is free too; a new motion clip is free once per video. |

## FAQ

### Will it change my story?

Not if you say “keep my wording”: the text is only split into scenes. Without it, sentences are tightened for listening, but your characters, names, events, facts and ending are kept and nothing is added. You read the split before anything is drawn.

### How much text can I paste?

A few short paragraphs fit in the box on this page. For a longer story, use the composer’s Script tab: it keeps your words and cuts them into scenes, and a longer story makes a longer video, with the price shown before you generate.

### Is this real animation?

Not frame-by-frame animation. Each scene is one bright cartoon frame drawn from its own line. On a paid plan the video model sets each frame in motion by default — 68 credits for a five-scene video — or choose Stills in the composer and the same video is 13 credits, as drawn pictures with a slow pan.

### Can my characters talk?

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. Write dialogue as you normally would, in quotation marks, and the narrator reads it as part of the story.

### Will my character look the same in every scene?

Close, not identical. Every scene is drawn on its own, so a character drifts between scenes. Name them and describe them the same way every time they appear, and the story reads as one even when the drawing changes.

### Can the narration be in Hindi or Spanish?

The narration and captions can be in any of 29 languages, chosen in the composer — Hindi and Tamil included. Urdu, Telugu, Bengali and Marathi are not in the list yet. The 5 voices were recorded in American English; they read the other languages too, but a native listener may hear the accent, so listen to the first one before you post a series.

### What does it cost?

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. Mini ($7 a month, 200 credits) covers about 15 five-scene shorts in pictures, or about 2 with AI motion in every scene.

### Do I own the video?

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, a free one. Signup takes a moment and needs no card. Once you are signed in, 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.

### What does it cost?

Starter is $19 a month for 600 credits, Pro $49, Studio $149. A credit is a unit of pipeline cost rather than a video, so a five-scene short costs less than a nine-scene one, and you see the estimate before you spend anything.

### 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.
