Chinese stories or ordered images into silent hand-drawn diary-comic animations, with a curated 30-style menu.

What it does

Converts Chinese story text, or a sequence of your own images, into a silent hand-drawn Remotion animation (picture track only) with generated hand lettering. It ships 327 built-in assets (297 style recipes and 30 theme palettes) behind a curated 30-style menu, keeps a colored-pencil diary look as the default, and can analyse a reference image's visual grammar and save that style privately for reuse.
