Stickman animation maker: stick figures drawn for your script

Stick figures strip a scene down to the point: who is doing what, and how they feel about it. Jellypod draws that scene for every line of your narration, so you get a stickman animation without posing a single frame.

Teachers use it for study tips and lesson recaps, creators for faceless channels, and teams for onboarding explainers. See every look on the AI video generator page.

How to make a stickman animation

  1. Step 01

    Start from a topic or a source

    Type a topic, upload a PDF or slide deck, or paste a script. Jellypod writes the narration from that source.

  2. Step 02

    Pick Stickman and a voice

    Choose the Stickman style in a video or a short, then pick the narrator.

  3. Step 03

    Edit and download

    Edit any line or scene, then download the MP4: a video of 3 to 25 minutes or a short of 30 seconds or 1 minute.

Deadpan stick figures, one point per scene

Each scene makes one point with a simply staged stick figure: faces and a few props carry the emotion, with plenty of empty space so the idea reads at a glance. Bold black outlines and flat muted color keep a ten minute video in one consistent look.

The same look in a vertical short

Stickman works in shorts too: a 30 second or 1 minute vertical clip with word-synced captions. Reuse the narrator from your full video to keep one voice across formats.

AI stickman video generator vs. a frame-by-frame animator

Stickman animation software like Pivot Animator gives you frame by frame control: you pose every limb and time every move. That is the right tool for fight scenes and hand-timed gags.

Jellypod starts from what you want to say. It writes the narration, draws a scene for each point, and animates up to 10 of them, so a lesson or product explainer is ready without touching a timeline.

FAQ

What is a stickman animation?
A stickman animation is a video told with simple stick figures: round heads, thin limbs, and expressive faces. Because the drawings are so plain, the viewer focuses on the idea, which is why the format suits explainers, study tips, and comedy.
How do I make a stickman animation with AI?
Type a topic or upload a PDF, slide deck, script, or URL, then pick the Stickman style and a narrator. Jellypod writes the narration, draws a stick-figure scene for each point, and adds word-synced captions. You need no drawing or animation skills.
Is this a frame-by-frame stick figure animator?
No. Tools like Pivot Animator let you pose a figure frame by frame. Jellypod generates whole narrated scenes from your script, so it suits explainers rather than hand-timed fight scenes or frame-perfect choreography.
Can I make full videos and short clips?
Both. A video runs 3 to 25 minutes depending on your plan (15 on Starter and Educator, 20 on Creator, 25 on Business and Enterprise). A short runs 30 seconds or 1 minute and defaults to portrait for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
Is there a free stickman animation maker?
Paid plans start with a 7-day free trial that includes 5,000 credits and requires a payment method (it may not be available in every country or to every user). Drafting and editing use no credits; narration and visuals use credits when they are generated.
Can I edit the scenes after they generate?
Yes. Regenerate a single scene with a note, replace it with your own image or clip, or rewrite a line of narration and regenerate only that audio. Then download the MP4.
