Make faceless YouTube videos from a script
Documentaries, deep dives and story channels without a camera: the script is the whole job, and our AI makes the rest.
A faceless YouTube video is narration over pictures, with no one on camera. Paste the script and our AI splits it into scenes, draws a picture for each sentence in one look, adds charts, lists and chapter cards where the script calls for them, narrates it in the voice you pick and captions it, in 16:9 for YouTube, up to 15 minutes.
The example, and the script it came from
- Landscape 16:9
- 48 s
- Voice: Adam
- Captions: karaoke
This is the whole script that went in. Everything else (the narration, the pictures, the graphics and the captions) our AI made from it.
In 1977, we launched a spacecraft the size of a small car. It's still talking to us. Voyager 1 is now more than 24 billion kilometers away, farther than anything humans have ever built. A message from home takes over 22 hours to reach it, moving at the speed of light. Its radio is about as strong as a fridge light bulb. Giant dishes on Earth still hear it. It carries a golden record: whale songs, rain, a heartbeat, and greetings in 55 languages. One day its power will run out. But Voyager will keep drifting between the stars, for billions of years, carrying a picture of who we were.
The example: Voyager in 48 seconds
This video was made from a six-paragraph script about Voyager 1, narrated by the documentary voice Adam with karaoke captions. It opens on the launch in 1977, counts out the 24 billion kilometers, and closes on the golden record drifting between the stars.
Its script starts: "In 1977, we launched a spacecraft the size of a small car. It's still talking to us." Every sentence after that got its own picture, and the numbers got their own graphics.
What a faceless channel needs from each video
- A consistent look: one style for every picture (cinematic, illustrated, 3D, archival or editorial), so a channel is recognisable from the thumbnail row
- A narrator people come back for: 130 voices, from deep documentary reads to British storytellers
- A picture change every few seconds: scenes are about one sentence, cut at a comma when a sentence runs long
- Graphics that carry the facts: numbers count up, lists build, quotes get their own card, "Chapter two" gets a chapter title
- Length: long-form videos of ten minutes or more, which is where YouTube's watch time is
From script to upload
- 1
Paste the script
Up to 30,000 characters. Headings and stage directions are dropped; your words are kept.
- 2
Pick the look and voice
16:9 for YouTube, a picture style, a narrator, a caption style.
- 3
Let it build
A ten-minute video takes about 15 to 25 minutes. Close the tab if you like.
- 4
Fix what you'd change
Retype a scene, ask for another picture, then render again and download.
Why scripts with structure come out better
Our AI reads the script for the moments a graphic helps. "Chapter one: falling asleep" becomes a chapter card; three or more short things in a row become a list that builds; a run of named numbers becomes a bar chart. A quotation becomes a quote card.
So write the script the way you'd want it cut: chapters for a long video, numbers in digits, and one idea a sentence.
Edit it like any other video
Open the finished video in the full editor to add music, a sound effect on a reveal, an intro and an outro card from the templates, or a lower third. The chat can do any of it from one message.

Questions
Do I need footage?
No. Our AI draws a picture for every sentence and moves the camera over it, so the script is all you bring.
How long can a faceless video be?
Up to 15 minutes in one go, in 16:9 for YouTube or 9:16 for Shorts.
Can I keep one style across my channel?
Yes. Pick the same look and voice for each video and every picture follows the look.
Can I narrate it myself?
Yes. Upload your recording instead of picking a voice and the scenes and captions follow it.
What does it cost?
Faceless videos are made on any paid plan: Pro $20 a month, Studio $50, Max $100. Bigger plans make more minutes.
