Tool
Reddit story video generator
Drop in a Reddit link. StoryTok pulls the title, body and post stats, reads the story in a natural AI voice, burns in word-by-word captions, and lays the whole thing over looping gameplay footage — a finished 1080×1920 MP4 in about two minutes. Download it, or post or schedule it to your connected TikTok, Instagram and YouTube accounts from StoryTok.
The format works because it stacks two kinds of attention. The story carries the narrative payload, and the gameplay underneath occupies the part of the brain that would otherwise scroll. That is why a 200-follower account posting these consistently can pull six-figure view counts — the ceiling is set by story selection and hook, not by production value.
Which means the production step should cost you as close to nothing as possible. Doing this by hand is a 45-minute job: record or generate a voiceover, cut the gameplay to length, time every caption, crop to vertical, export. StoryTok collapses that into one render, so the only thing left to be good at is picking stories.
Everything renders server-side, so a long story does not tie up your machine. You own the output outright, with no attribution requirement and no watermark on renders made with paid credits. Download the MP4 and upload it anywhere, or connect your accounts under Settings and have StoryTok post it for 1 paid credit per video per account.
How it works
Step 1
Paste the Reddit URL
Any public post link works. StoryTok imports the title, body text, author and score, and strips the formatting artefacts — markdown, edit notes, bot replies — that make a raw copy-paste sound wrong when read aloud.
Step 2
Pick a voice and background
63 included neural voices across 20 languages (US, UK, Australian, Indian and more English accents; Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese and others), plus premium ElevenLabs voices at 2 credits a minute. Backgrounds are looping gameplay clips — Minecraft parkour, endless-runner, driving — or up to twelve of your own uploads if you want footage nobody else is using.
Step 3
Add the intro card
An optional title card renders the post as a Reddit screenshot — username, upvote count, comment count — and holds for the first few seconds. It is the single highest-leverage element on the video, because it tells a scrolling viewer what kind of story they are about to get.
Step 4
Render, then download or publish
One click. Narration, caption timing and export all happen server-side in roughly two minutes, and the finished vertical MP4 lands in your library. Download it, or choose to publish: write a caption (YouTube also needs a title), pick the connected accounts, review the credit cost, and post now or schedule a date and time. Every post is public.
Publishing to TikTok, Reels and Shorts: how it works and what it costs

- Voices
- 63 included neural voices in 20 languages, plus 21 premium ElevenLabs voices at 2 credits per minute
- Output
- 1080×1920 MP4, H.264/AAC, loudness-normalised, no watermark on renders made with paid credits

- About 2 minutes
- Cost
- 3 free minutes at signup for rendering, then ~17¢ per rendered minute on the $10 pack
- Publishing
- Post now or schedule from the web app, 1 paid credit per video per connected account; Instagram and YouTube take 3 minutes or less, so keep a story under that if it is going to all three
Worth knowing
- Word-level caption timing comes from the speech engine itself, not a guess — captions land on the syllable even when the narration speeds up.
- The intro card never renders a [deleted] author or a fake 99+ score; it sanitises the username and formats counts the way Reddit does.
- One credit is one rendered minute, rounded up, minimum one. A 95-second video costs 2 credits to render, plus 1 per account if you publish it from StoryTok, and nothing renews.
- Posting daily? Autopilot picks the day's best post from subreddits you choose, rewrites it into an original script, and renders on a schedule. It can stop there, save each video as a draft for you to review, or post it to the accounts you choose once the render finishes.
Questions
Can I use Reddit stories in my videos?
Reddit posts belong to the people who wrote them, so reading one verbatim is someone else's content on your channel — which is both a copyright question and, on YouTube, an inauthentic-content risk. Reading a post you have permission to use is fine; for anything at scale, StoryTok's Autopilot rewrites each story into an original script rather than narrating it word for word.
How much does a Reddit story video cost?
About 17 cents per rendered minute on the $10 pack, so a typical two-minute story is roughly 34 cents. Publishing from StoryTok is optional and costs 1 paid credit per video per connected account. New accounts get 3 free minutes for rendering with no card; trial videos are watermarked and cannot be published. There is no subscription and unused credits never expire.
What subreddits work best for video?
Conflict-driven text subs convert best: r/AmItheAsshole, r/TrueOffMyChest, r/relationship_advice, r/pettyrevenge and r/TIFU. Look for a post whose first two sentences already contain the conflict — that is your hook, and you cannot add one in post.
Can StoryTok post the video to TikTok, Reels and Shorts for me?
Yes, from the web app. Connect accounts under Settings, Social accounts, then post a finished video now or schedule it. Each post is public, needs a caption, and costs 1 paid credit per connected account. Instagram needs a professional account, and YouTube decides whether an upload counts as a Short. For a daily series, Autopilot has three posting modes: off, review first, or post automatically after each render within a per-video spending limit you set.
