Faceless Video Maker: Free YouTube Shorts & TikTok Video Creator

How to make a faceless video

1. Type or paste your script, one line per scene, or start from one of the sample scripts. Click Split long lines if a line runs past about 14 words.
2. Pick a style: Inside Out, Stick Story, Paper Atlas or Night File. The preview updates straight away.
3. Choose the voice: captions only at a reading speed you set, record each line with your microphone, or upload a voiceover file.
4. Pick the background music, turn sound effects on or off, and add your channel handle if you want a follow screen at the end.
5. Press Play to check the preview, then click Create video. When it finishes, download the file and upload it to YouTube Shorts, TikTok or Instagram Reels.

Four video styles

• Inside Out: bright, flat explainers for “what happens if” and science questions, with x-ray views of the body, red crosses for busted myths and bold yellow keywords.
• Stick Story: stick figures acting out “what would you do” situations and step-by-step tips, with numbered step cards and rooms that go dark when your story happens at night.
• Paper Atlas: cut-paper maps, travel routes, date ribbons and period figures for history and “how it spread” stories.
• Night File: dark rooms, a glowing faceless figure, typewriter dates and stamped case files for mysteries and true stories.

Three ways to add the voice

Captions only times the scenes for a narrator reading at the speed you choose. It suits text-on-screen videos with music, or a voiceover you add later in another app.

Record my voice lets you record each line on its own. Silence at the start and end of every take is trimmed, and the scene and captions are timed to your speech. Redo any line without recording the rest again.

Upload voiceover takes an MP3, WAV or M4A file from your phone or a text-to-speech app. The tool finds the pauses between phrases and lines the scenes up with them, so read the script with a short pause between lines.

Tips for a short that keeps people watching

• Open with a question or a surprising claim. The first line becomes the hook scene.
• Keep lines to about 6 to 14 words so the picture changes every few seconds.
• About 90 to 110 words gives a video of roughly 35 seconds. YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels can run up to 3 minutes, but most shorts work best well under a minute.
• Put a * before the word you want highlighted, for example the *pop you hear, and a | where a caption should break.
• Write numbers the way you say them, such as “twenty minutes”, and they turn into a number scene.
• Use your own script and voice. Faceless channels can earn money on YouTube, but its monetization rules exclude mass-produced, repetitive videos, so original writing matters. Check your script with our Grammar Checker and its length with the Word Counter.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Faceless Video Maker free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many videos you make.

Are my script and recordings uploaded?

No. The scenes are drawn, the sound is mixed and the video is recorded inside your browser tab, so your script, your voice and the finished video stay on your device.

What size and format is the video?

A vertical 9:16 video at 1080 × 1920, or 720 × 1280 for older devices, at 30 frames per second. Most browsers save an MP4. If yours saves a WebM file instead, YouTube and TikTok still accept it; for Instagram, use Chrome, Edge or Safari to get an MP4.

Can I use the music in my videos?

Yes. The music and sound effects are generated by the tool when you make the video, not taken from a song library, so they are free to use in your shorts.

How long does it take to create a video?

The video records in real time, so a 40 second short takes about 40 seconds. Keep the tab open and visible until it finishes.

Can I edit the video afterwards?

Yes. The download is a normal video file, so you can trim it, add a voiceover or put it together with other clips in CapCut, the TikTok editor or any video app.
