Turn a Premise Into a
Stick Figure Story Short

Name a premise and the AI writes the story, draws every shot as black ink stick figures with one accent colour, narrates it and captions it. Export vertical for Shorts or widescreen for YouTube. Preview your first shot free, then finish and post.

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 GhostShorts’ maker for narrated stick-figure story shorts: a calm voice tells a story in the third person while simple black ink stick figures act it out, one still image per shot. You name the premise, and it writes the story, draws every shot, narrates it, captions it and exports a finished video. True crime, survival, history, life lessons, how it works.
Pick a category and type the premise you want, or hit Surprise Me and take the suggestion. The AI writes the story, draws one black ink still for every shot, adds AI voiceover and captions, and hard-cuts between the shots. Every frame is conditioned on one committed pose reference sheet, so the figures stay identical from the first shot to the last. Your first shot renders free before you finish the rest.
Yes, and it is one of the few templates here that does both. You choose widescreen 16:9 or vertical 9:16 on the entry screen: widescreen for long-form YouTube videos, vertical for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. The story genuinely lives in both places, so both are first-class. Pick before you generate, because the ratio is locked once the shots start drawing.
Five categories. True crime is an invented investigation — the disappearance, the clue, the twist — and the AI makes up every name, town and date. Survival is one person against a place: a mine, a desert, a sea, a storm. History is a documented episode from before 1950, told through the people inside it. Life lessons are everyday conflicts at work or at home, with a reveal about someone’s motive. How it works walks one machine or process, one step per shot. Each one steers how the story is written.
No, and that is on purpose. A real case with real named victims, suspects or places is refused at the door, so every true crime episode here is invented. If you want a documented episode, that is the history category, which draws on real people and places from before 1950. Read the script before you publish: it is a strong first draft, and the last read is yours.
You pick the length — 30, 45, 60 or 90 seconds — and the shot count follows it: roughly twelve shots for a minute, more for longer. The pacing per shot stays even either way, so a longer story does not turn into a rush: one still, a line or two of narration, and a hard cut to the next.
No. It is fully faceless and hands-off: the AI writes, draws, voices and edits. You tweak the script or reroll a shot if you want, and export. No camera, no microphone, no drawing tablet, no editing software, and everything you export is yours to post and monetize anywhere.
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.
