From a cover to a trailer, in three steps

  1. Add your cover

    The front cover as an image, title and all.

  2. Say what moves

    Fog, rain, a candle, a figure turning. Or say nothing and we read the cover.

  3. Get your video

    About a minute later: a few seconds of tall video, ready for TikTok, Reels or your launch post.

Good questions

What is a book trailer?

A short video that sells a book the way a film trailer sells a film. On TikTok and Instagram, a few seconds of the cover coming to life is enough to stop a thumb.

Does the title stay readable?

It did in our example, and large lettering usually holds. Small type can soften when the picture moves, so check it before you post.

Can it add a line of text or a voice?

Not on these short videos. Add your hook as text in TikTok or Instagram when you post.

Do I need the rights to my cover?

Yes. Use a cover you own or have a licence to use.

Is it free?

Signing in is free, and your first video is free too. No card needed.

What does it cost after that?

$14.99 a month for about 25 short videos and their pictures. Cancel any time.
