Exports in 9:16 · 1080p — the native format for

TikTok
Instagram Reels
YouTube Shorts
Facebook

Upload directly — no conversion, no re-encoding, no cropping.

Chat content drives insane engagement.
Making it is a nightmare.

Video editors take hours

Animating chat bubbles frame by frame in Premiere or After Effects requires professional skills and half a day just for one clip.

Screen recording looks cheap

You can't control the story, the names, the timing. One notification ruins the whole take. And it only works for one messenger at a time.

Trends don't wait

By the time you finish editing, the moment is gone. Viral content needs to be out in minutes, not hours.

TypeDrama is the only tool built specifically for this format. Write the dialogue, pick the messenger, hit Export. Your video is ready in minutes — with animations that look exactly like the real thing.

Write the chat. Export. Post.

From idea to viral video in 6 steps

Everything runs in the browser. Open the link, build the video, download the file.

1
Create a project

Pick a messenger style and give your project a name. WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage — your call.

2
Add participants

Set names, upload avatars, pick bubble colors. Save profiles and reuse them across projects.

3
Write the dialogue

Type messages just like in a real chat. Add reactions, voice notes, photos, or deleted messages for extra drama.

4
Style it your way

Dark or light theme, custom background, watermark position, status bar details — make it yours.

5
Set timing & sound

Set how long each message takes to appear. Add background music or ambient sound. The pacing is yours.

6
Export and post

Hit Export. We render in the cloud — 1080p, 9:16 vertical, ready for TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Download when it's done.

Made to fool the eye

Your video needs to pass as a real phone recording. So we built it to look exactly like one.

Pixel-perfect messenger UI

Five messengers matched down to the font, bubble radius, and header layout. Your viewers have seen this UI a thousand times — it looks right to them because it is.

  • WhatsApp — green bubbles, read receipts, everything
  • Telegram, iMessage, Instagram DM, Messenger
  • Dark & light themes per messenger
Messages that appear in real time

Typing indicator, then the message. Then a pause. Then the next one. You control the timing — down to the millisecond. It plays out like a real conversation unfolding live.

  • Typing indicator between messages
  • Smooth per-message timing control
  • Online / status changes mid-conversation
Rich message types

It's not just text. Add voice messages with a real-looking waveform, photos, emoji reactions, and deleted messages that keep the audience guessing.

  • Voice messages with animated waveform
  • Emoji reactions on messages
  • Deleted messages, photos, videos
Cloud rendering — you're free to leave

When you hit Export, the work moves to our servers. Close the tab, make a coffee, check Instagram. Come back to a finished 1080p video in your downloads — no computer power required, no sitting and watching a progress bar.

  • 1080p vertical 9:16 — ready for any platform
  • Works on any device, any browser
  • Get a download link when it's done

Questions people actually ask

Do I need to install anything?+
No. TypeDrama runs entirely in your browser. Open the site, create an account, and start building — nothing to download, nothing to configure.
How long does rendering take?+
Usually a few minutes, depending on video length. Rendering happens on our servers — not your device. Close the tab, go do something else, come back when you get the notification.
Can I use my own photos and avatars?+
Yes. Upload your own images for participant avatars and for photo messages inside the chat. You can save profiles with custom avatars and reuse them across multiple projects.
Is the free plan really free?+
Yes, no catch. The free plan gives you full access to the editor and all features. You only pay when you want to export — rendering costs credits, which you top up as needed.
What video format does it export?+
All exports are 1080p MP4 in 9:16 vertical format — the native format for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Upload directly without any conversion.

Chat videos get millions of views.
Yours can be live today.
