Frequently asked questions

MonkeyTalker makes animated characters talk. Pick one of the 30+ characters in the cast, create your own with AI or turn a photo into a cutout puppet, then give it a voice and a script and direct its emotions and poses. Finish the video in the editor and export it for Shorts, Reels or TikTok, or download the character to use in another editor.

Yes, in the demo on the homepage. Pick a character, write a script, choose a voice and a background, and download the video with a watermark. No account needed. The free plan is paused for now; to create your own character and export without a watermark, choose a plan.

The cast has more than 30 ready-made characters in styles such as claymation, pixel art, comic ink, Y2K and 3D toon. Each one has 4 emotions, 12 poses and 6 mouth shapes. You can also create your own character with AI or from a photo of a person, a pet or an object.

Yes. The editor has a timeline with layers for characters, text, captions, images, video, GIFs, stickers, sounds and templates, plus stock media from Pexels, Pixabay and GIPHY. Your work saves automatically and you export when it is ready.

A standard talking video is roughly 60 credits per minute, with a 15-credit minimum per generation. The actual quote depends on the script length and pauses. MonkeyTalker shows your exact credit cost and balance before you confirm the generation.
