Frequently asked questions

What is a crayon animation?
A narrated story drawn like a five-year-old’s crayon pictures. Each one scribbles itself on, then holds.
Does the drawing get neater?
No. It stays crude on purpose, from the first scene to the last.
Is there text in the pictures?
Almost none. A picture gets one or two words only when it needs them.
Why not make it with ChatGPT or Claude myself?
You would need a script, voices, matching images, captions, and a render. Jellypod makes all five from one prompt and checks the result against the style.
How long can a crayon animation be?
Presets run 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, or 25 minutes, up to 15 minutes on Starter and Educator, 20 on Creator, and 25 on Business and Enterprise. A short runs 30 seconds or 1 minute.
Is there a free crayon animation?
Yes. Every new account starts on the Free plan with 500 credits. No credit card required. Paid plans include a 7-day free trial with 2,500 credits, and you can cancel anytime.
