Design that moves.

Posts, stories and reels that move, made in your browser and moved by sound. Start from a Capsule, break it, and keep what happens.

Open the studio, free

No account. No install. Chrome or Edge for sound from a tab; Firefox and Safari run everything else.

What you make

Posts, stories, reels. Moving.

Every picture, word, colour and motion is a slot you change. Then export at the size the platform wants, from the same piece.

Post

4:5 · 1080 × 1350

The feed's own shape. Showcase deals your pictures, on the beat if you like.

Story

9:16 · 1080 × 1920

Words fitted to the safe zone, clear of the reply bar.

Reel

9:16 · 1080 × 1920

A clip with words over it, in time.

Video for X and YouTube

16:9 · 1920 × 1080

The same piece, reframed. Every template draws at any size, so nothing is stretched.

Carousel

4:5 · a slide

A post you swipe: every slide side by side, one style across them all.

Stills, video, GIF and SVG, in seven shapes from 1:1 to 16:9.

720p and 1080p free · 4K with Pro

Capsules

Twenty-one ways in.

A Capsule is a ready-made starting point that opens with a working design already in it. Pick one, break it, keep what happens.

Or skip the door: the whole studio is open too, 105 templates and nothing locked.

Open the studio

The space

Two more rooms.

Design is the main floor. When you need a break, or a dance, the same canvas becomes a different room.

Break

A keepsake grown at dawn
A keepsake grown in the day
A keepsake grown at dusk
A keepsake grown at night
breathe.

Generative ambient music and one shape to breathe with. Finish a session and keep what it grew: a print of the time you took, coloured by the hour you took it.

Play

Play

The dancer takes your track. Land the moves on the beat with the keys, alone or against a friend.

FollowFreestyleDance battleParty

Share

Send one link. They are in the room.

Digital dance, meditation or listening party for up to five. No install for them, no account for any of you, and it holds for as long as you leave the tab open.

They hear what you hear
Your microphone, a browser tab, or a track you loaded, relayed live to them. Put a mic next to a speaker, or capture the tab your music is playing in, and they are listening to it with you.
They watch your canvas
Every control you touch lands on their screen at the same moment. Cursors show, so you can point at the thing you mean. They are watching the piece move, not a recording of it.
You can play DJ
Load an MP3 and it goes to them too, in sync, playing from their own copy so it never stutters down the wire. Your set, their speakers, one canvas reacting to it in front of both of you.

Sessions are private, up to five people in a room, and the audio never touches a server.

Who it is for

Curious designers. Allergic to presets.

This is for you if

  • You open a new tool and immediately start pulling it apart
  • You want the feedback loop instant, because a four-second render loses you
  • You would rather ship something nobody else could have made than something tasteful and safe
  • You have forty tabs open and this is the one you keep coming back to

Probably not, if

  • You want twelve tasteful presets and a tidy result in one click
  • You would rather not touch a single slider
  • Generic is fine, as long as it is fast

There are excellent tools for the second list. They cost more, every month, forever.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

How is this different from Endless Tools or Ditther?

Both are excellent, both are subscriptions, and both are aimed at getting you a good-looking result quickly. This is aimed at the opposite instinct: 300 controls, all of them live, so you can push a template somewhere it was never meant to go. It also goes far deeper on sound, with six named instrument bands, a beat tracker that cuts on the beat, and generative ambient music. If you want a polished result in one click, buy theirs. If you want to make something nobody else could have made, this is cheaper and it is yours forever.

Do I need an account?

No. The studio opens instantly and works fully without one. An account only exists to attach your Pro licence and, later, to sync presets between machines.

What exactly does free include?

Everything. Every template, every effect, audio reactivity, presets, exports at 720p and 1080p in video, GIF, PNG and SVG. Pro adds 4K and 8K, 60fps, and everything that ships in the future.

Will this still be developed in a year?

The shipping log below is generated from real releases; the studio has shipped every week since it existed. Pay-once only works if the tool keeps earning it, and the log is the receipt.

How does sharing work? Do they need an account?

You send a link and they open it. No account, no install, nothing to download. Up to five people in a room, each with voice and view, and the session lives only while the tab is open. They see your canvas as you change it and hear whatever you are feeding it, whether that is your microphone, a browser tab or an MP3 you loaded.

What happens to my audio and webcam?

They never leave your browser. The renderer runs locally; microphone and camera feed the canvas and nothing else. There is no upload.

Is what I make used to train AI?

No. The studio runs no AI model, so there is nothing to train on your work. Your projects are saved in your own browser, and what you export is yours.

Which browser should I use?

Chrome, or anything built on it: Edge, Arc, Brave, Opera. That is where the studio is developed and tested, and where every feature is available.

Firefox and Safari run it perfectly well. The canvas, the templates, all 300 controls, exports, presets and shared sessions all work. Three things are narrower, and all three are browser capabilities rather than choices we made:

  • Playing along to Spotify, YouTube or a DAW. Chrome can hand a browser tab's audio straight to the canvas. Firefox and Safari cannot share tab audio at all, so on those you route sound through a virtual audio device, something like BlackHole on macOS, and pick it as the microphone. Your own microphone and MP3s you load work everywhere with no setup.
  • Your own installed fonts. The typeface picker can read the fonts on your machine in Chrome and Edge. Elsewhere it offers the Google Fonts list instead, which is the same picker and works everywhere.
  • Video exports. Chrome writes MP4. Firefox writes WebM, which every editor and social platform accepts, but you may want to convert it if you are handing the file to someone else.

If sound is the reason you are here, use a Chrome-based browser. For everything else, pick whichever you already have open.

The receipt

Shipped, recently.

04 Oct 2026Mosaic: turn a photo or a short video into hundreds of tiny emoji or pictures, from the library or your own. Videos save with their sound, perfectly in time.
03 Oct 2026The dance game keeps your streak, how each bar went and the next key to press together in one corner. Hitting the beat is a little more forgiving.
02 Oct 2026Play the dance game with a PlayStation, Xbox or any Bluetooth controller. The dancer takes the pace from the drums, so laid-back songs get laid-back moves.
01 Oct 2026Depth, the template that works like a real camera, gets a cleaner lens, a studio light and camera angles you can save. Draft sits beside New project for quick ideas, and a tempo you tapped in stops with one button.
30 Sep 2026Projects: your work saves itself as you go. Break's keepsake grows the longer you breathe, and dropping its picture back in reopens that session.
29 Sep 2026Wireless headphones play sound a moment late, so the picture now waits and lands on the beat you hear. Words that swing on a string, and a disco ball that sways on its cord.
28 Sep 2026Kinetic type in real 3D, one letter at a time. A tempo button you can tap to set the speed yourself. Channels let you choose how the music moves each part of the design: smoothly with the sound, in cuts on the beat, or when you press a key.
27 Sep 2026Ten Capsules, ready-made starting points for posts that move: Showcase, Big Type, Carousel, Story, Reel, Grid, Bento, Mockups, Depth and Disc.
08 Aug 2026Shared rooms where up to five people can talk and watch the same canvas. Better light on the dancer, and Aura: a rainbow ribbon curled into a ring that breathes.
07 Aug 2026Eleven dances, each labelled with the music speed it suits, all in one menu. Half speed now stays on when you switch dancer.
06 Aug 2026A second dancer, a night-sky setting, and 3D models that load faster.
03 Aug 2026Three rooms: Design, Break and Play. A breathing guide that moves the whole picture. 35 backgrounds to start from.
