Shorts
Make Shorts Without Filming Anything
Standalone short videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Jellypod writes the narration in your host's voice, then generates every shot to match it in one of twelve visual styles.
How it works
From idea to a finished Short
No camera, no editing timeline, no image prompts. Generation runs in the background and takes a few minutes.
Start from an idea or a source
Tell Jellypod what the video is about, or attach a file, link, or pasted text as the source.
Pick a host and a style
Choose the voice that narrates and one of twelve visual styles. Almanac is the default.
Every shot matches the narration
Jellypod writes the narration, then generates the visuals shot by shot to match it, with word-synced captions and an optional instrumental score.
Want the narration in your own voice? Clone your voice and pick it as the host.
Visual styles
Twelve styles, one consistent look
Pick a style before you generate. Jellypod handles the palette, composition, and treatment within it, so every shot stays consistent from first to last.
Almanac
Hand-drawn paper cutouts on aged parchment, with an earthy palette and a calm historical-explainer tone.
Paper Mache
Layered cut-paper shapes and printed textures, with one strong focal point per shot.
Whiteboard Explainer
Dry-erase marker linework that draws in stroke by stroke on a clean whiteboard.
Watercolor
Bold editorial illustrations with thick ink outlines, loose watercolor fills, and warm paper texture.
Pixel Art
Bright adventure dioramas with crisp square pixels and layered tiled environments.
Retro Comics
Freshly printed 1980s newsstand panels with heavy black ink, flat color, and Ben-Day dots.
Sketch
Quiet storybook scenes in fine pen and graphite, filled with muted colored pencil.
Stickman
Deadpan stick-figure cartoons with thick ink outlines and flat muted color fills.
Claymation
Handcrafted plasticine characters in warm miniature sets, with restrained stop-motion imperfections.
Toy Bricks
Cinematic miniature dioramas built from interlocking toy bricks and classic blocky figures.
Crayon
Deliberately clumsy child-drawn wax-crayon pictures on a pure white canvas.
Flat
Warm picture-book scenes with bold rounded geometry and a navy, coral, and orange palette.
