AI Script Generation
The AI shorts maker writes hook-first scripts optimized for short-form video. Enter a topic or paste an idea, and Toonkit generates a complete script with opening hook, body, and call-to-action timed for 15 to 60 seconds. Prompt enhancement refines your descriptions automatically, and you can edit every line before generation begins. Use the AI video maker for longer scripts beyond shorts format.
Vertical Format Optimization
Every video the AI shorts maker produces is natively composed in 9:16 vertical format. Character framing, text placement, and camera movement are all optimized for mobile-first viewing on YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok. No cropping or letterboxing required because the composition is built for vertical from the start.
Auto-Captions
The AI shorts maker auto-generates timed captions synced to voiceover and dialogue. Captions boost watch time because most shorts viewers watch without sound. Style, position, and timing are editable after generation. Korean and English voiceover and captions are both supported. For full anime production with captions, combine this with the AI anime generator.

How to make shorts with AI
Choose a template
Pick how you want to start. 'Start with Story' lets you build from a script or idea. 'Stylization' transforms your existing images or footage into animation. 'Blank template' gives you a completely open canvas to create freely.
Write or Describe
Enter a topic, paste a script, or describe your short. The AI shorts maker enhances your prompt and structures it into a hook-first script optimized for 15 to 60 seconds. One sentence is enough to start, and you can edit every detail before generation.
Generate
Toonkit produces your short in 9:16 vertical format with visuals, character motion, voiceover, captions, and background music. Each scene renders with consistent characters and styles. Use quick generation to test multiple directions before committing to a final render.
Edit
Fine-tune timing, captions, voiceover, and transitions. Use region editing to fix specific areas and layer separation to adjust characters and backgrounds independently. Every element is editable without regenerating the entire short.
Export & Post
Download your finished short in HD with Toon XL upscaling. Export is pre-configured for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok specs. Watermark-free output on paid plans with commercial rights included. Post directly or schedule across platforms.
