AI video, simple — under 2 minutes from idea to MP4

Most AI video tools throw 15 controls at you on the first screen — model, aspect, negative prompt, camera motion, reference image, seed value, FPS. That is great for power users and overwhelming for everyone else. Free.ai Video Maker strips it down to four decisions: what you want, the vibe, where you will post it, how long. The render runs the same A100 GPU pipeline as our /video/text-to-video/ tool — same models, same quality, same MP4 output, no watermark. When you're ready for the full surface (reference image upload, model picker, negative prompt) jump to /video/text-to-video/.

Free AI Video Maker — FAQ

Free.ai AI Video Maker renders a short AI video (2-6 seconds) from a text description. It is the lightest entry point on our video platform - no model knowledge, no style decisions, no aspect-ratio math. Describe what you want, pick a vibe, and render. Behind the curtain it composes a cinematic prompt and dispatches to CogVideoX (default) or a premium model.

Same underlying /v1/video/generate/ endpoint. This page strips the advanced controls (reference image, negative prompt, camera motion sub-menu) for users who just want a quick render. Power users should use /video/text-to-video/ where every knob is exposed.

Yes - CogVideoX on our A100 GPUs inside the daily token pool. A 3-second clip costs ~7,500 tokens. Free accounts get 10,000 tokens on signup; no credit card required. Premium models (Kling / Seedance / Runway / Pika) render faster with higher fidelity but cost 20-50K tokens per clip.

CapCut (free) is a timeline editor - you upload clips, it does not generate them. InVideo ($15-60/mo) is template-based with stock footage. Synthesia ($22+/mo) focuses on AI avatars, not cinematic clips. Pictory ($19-99/mo) turns articles into slideshow-style videos. Lumen5 ($19-149/mo) is text-to-video-ish but actually text-to-slideshow. Free.ai Video Maker is the only zero-dollar-monthly option with true cinematic AI rendering.

Short cinematic clips - product hero shots, B-roll, nature scenes, cityscapes, abstract moods, single-subject action shots. Not suited for: multi-scene narratives (render scenes separately, stitch in /video/editor/), talking heads (use /video/avatar/ for that), music videos (use /video/music-video/), or anything requiring real named people.

30-120 seconds on the default CogVideoX. Premium models run 20-60 s. The close-tab-safe banner is on for AI Video Maker - close the tab and the clip lands in your dashboard when done. Authed users can opt in to an email notification.

2-6 seconds per render. For anything longer, render multiple clips and stitch them in /video/editor/ (browser-based) or CapCut / Premiere (desktop). Professional AI video projects are always multi-clip assemblages; no model reliably renders a coherent 30-second single clip yet.

Yes - Download button on the result card. No watermark, no logo, no opening/closing card. Royalty-free use in paid commercial work (CogVideoX is Apache 2.0; premium models follow their respective licenses, all commercial-permitted before we expose them).

Yes - the render happens on our GPU, not your device. The browser just uploads the prompt and plays back the MP4. Works on iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and any desktop browser. 5 Mbit/s bandwidth is enough for the result playback.

16:9 for YouTube / landscape. 9:16 for Reels / TikTok / Shorts. 1:1 for Instagram feed. 4:5 for vertical IG. Match the final platform - letterboxing and pillarboxing look unprofessional and hurt engagement on social.

Yes. CogVideoX is Apache 2.0 - no restrictions on commercial use. Premium models ship under their respective fal.ai / provider terms, verified commercial-permitted before we expose them. No royalty line items, no watermarks, no forbidden-use categories.

Yes - POST /v1/video/generate/ on api.free.ai with Bearer auth. Same endpoint this page calls. Payload: {prompt, duration, aspect_ratio, model}. Full snippets at /api/.
