How It Works

From One Premise to a Finished Story Short in 3 Steps

No filming, no editing, no face. Pick the premise, tweak the shots, export.

1

Choose the Premise

True crime, survival, history, life lessons or how it works. Type the story you want or take a suggestion.

2

AI Draws Every Shot

Each shot is one black ink still with a single accent colour, held for its narration line and hard-cut to the next. Your first shot renders free so you see the style first.

3

Widescreen or Vertical, Then Post

Download the finished story in 16:9 for a long-form YouTube video or 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. The same story, whichever your channel needs.

Made a Reddit story short in the middle of my chem class. 100K views before I got home.

Honestly thought this was just another overhyped AI tool. But it actually delivers and is super easy to use. I already created 10 shorts in 1 day.

Tried a couple viral formats on the app. A month later... 10 million views. This app is stupid easy to use.

Making edits CapCut felt homeworkish. GhostShorts is easy af, almost feels likes I am on autopilot.

All I do is copy a Reddit post, paste it in, export, done. It's stupid easy.

Used to doom scroll all night. Now I post the same type of videos I used to binge.

I run a few fake text story channels. Jesus I've hit over 5 million likes on just one of my channels alone. It's ridiculous.

It is a narrated story told in the third person while simple black ink stick figures act it out, one still image per shot. The figures are drawn flat: thick uniform black lines, one accent colour, no 3D and no rendered detail. Each shot is drawn once and held, then hard-cut to the next, and this maker builds the whole thing from the premise you name.
Pick a category, choose widescreen or vertical, and type the premise you want — or hit Surprise Me and take the suggestion. The AI writes the story, draws one black ink still per shot, narrates it, captions it, and cuts the shots together. Your first shot renders free before you commit to the rest.
Yes, and it is one of the few templates here that does both. Widescreen 16:9 for a long-form YouTube video, vertical 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. The story genuinely lives in both places, so neither is an afterthought. Choose the ratio on the entry screen before you generate — it locks once the shots start drawing, because every frame is drawn to that shape.
Five categories: true crime, survival, history, life lessons, and how it works. Every true crime episode is invented — the AI makes up every name, town and date, and a real case is refused. Survival puts one person against a mine, a desert, a sea or a storm. History covers a documented episode from before 1950. Life lessons are everyday conflicts with a reveal about someone’s motive. How it works walks one machine or process a step at a time.
You pick the length — 30, 45, 60 or 90 seconds — and the shot count follows it: about twelve shots for a minute, more for longer. The pacing per shot stays the same either way — one still, a line or two of narration, a hard cut — so a long story does not turn into a rush.
The writer refuses a real case with real named victims, suspects or places, refuses anything told from a perpetrator’s side, and refuses mass-casualty attacks outright. For history it stays before 1950 and never frames a group as guilty. Accuracy is a strong first draft, not a citation: it is AI, and it publishes under your channel name, so read the script and check names, dates and numbers before you export.
Yes, and that is who it is for. The drawn story short is one of the fastest-moving faceless formats right now, with an adult audience and an endless back catalogue, so you can post steadily without drawing or scripting anything by hand. Nothing is filmed, so you never show your face or record audio, and everything you export is yours to post and monetize.
Yes. GhostShorts has an API and an MCP server. Connect it to Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT (via API) or n8n and ask for a video; see ghostshorts.com/developers.

The same template runs through the GhostShorts API and MCP server. Connect it once and ask your assistant for a video; it comes back as a finished MP4 on the same plan and credits.
