Create AI Shorts
From viral shorts to branded short-form content, create them quickly with AI.
Countless AI shorts are created on Toonkit every day.
How Do You Make an AI Short?
You can make an AI short by entering a topic or script, setting the video length and 9:16 vertical ratio, and letting AI generate a hook-first script and scenes. Add captions to the generated video, adjust the scene order and expression, then export in a format suited for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok to finish.
With Toonkit, you can go from entering your shorts topic to composing a hook script, generating vertical video, editing captions, revising scenes, and final export — all in one workflow. Even a short idea is shaped to fit the short-form format, and you can selectively edit only the scenes or captions you need.
