Bubble — free, no sign-up

Turn a conversation into a clip.

Build a chat — bubbles, names, typing dots — and Bubble animates it into a text-story clip for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok. Or pop a single number to make a stat land. Free, in your browser, no watermark.

What it does.

Chat-story mode

Write a back-and-forth, set the senders, and the messages spring in with typing dots between them — the text-story format that runs on Shorts and TikTok.

Single-bubble pop

Or pop one bubble — a number, a stat, a one-liner — with a spring bounce that grabs the eye.

Style it to match

Per-sender colors, names, avatars, and skins — make it read like a real conversation, or your own look.

Transparent export

Export a transparent (alpha) .webm to lay over footage, or a clean MP4. No watermark, at no cost.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS

Build it once. Use it twice.

This one works on both surfaces. Make it once — put it on air, or put it in the edit.

ON AIR Put it on the stream. Transparent export drops into OBS over your gameplay or your camera. See it IN THE EDIT Put it in the cut. Alpha intact — cut the conversation into your edit in Resolve or Premiere. See it

Questions.

Is the chat-animation maker free?

Yes — Bubble is free and use-first — make and export with no account and no watermark. Signing in (also free) just saves your work and adds you to our newsletter. Build chat clips and stat pops and export them at no cost.

Can I make fake text-message videos?

Yes — Bubble's chat mode animates a back-and-forth conversation with bubbles, names, and typing dots, the format used for text-story Shorts, Reels, and TikToks.

Does it show typing dots?

Yes — a typing indicator appears between messages on the delay you set, so the conversation feels real as it plays.

Can I export with a transparent background?

Yes. Bubble exports a transparent (alpha) .webm that composites over your video, plus a standard MP4.

Is there a watermark?

No. Your chat clips are clean — Starting Frame never brands what you make.
