Xtranormal for Web

Create free web-based animations with Xtranormal

Xtranormal is a browser-based animation studio that builds on simple speech-synthesis features and lets you turn spoken lines into short animated videos. It became widely known after a viral clip that spoofed smartphone users; beyond that, it’s a playful tool anyone can use to make quick, shareable sketches.

Quick setup and basic workflow

• Pick the stage and actors you want to start with — templates include everything from newsrooms to sports fields.
• Personalize each character’s appearance and outfits to match your story.
• Open an account (it only takes a moment) so you can save and manage projects.
• Write dialogue in a storyboard-like sequence: add a line for one character, then press the “+” to add the next line or a different speaker.

Editing controls and camera options

Use the left-hand controls to refine the action and framing:

• Adjust camera shots and angles to create visual variety.
• Move characters around the set and change where they stand or walk.
• Modify facial expressions and poses to reflect emotion.
• Preview the sequence to check timing and delivery before finalizing.

Previewing and performance notes

Click Preview to see an animated playback of your script. For longer or more complex scenes the rendering can be slow, but watching characters act out your lines is usually rewarding and worth the wait.

Saving projects and sharing output

• Save drafts at any stage to return and revise later.
• Exporting to upload or publish requires purchasing points; the entry-level bundle (300 points) is affordably priced at around $5.
• Because uploads are paid, many users create clips for friends first and then buy points for wider distribution.

Verdict

Xtranormal makes basic animation approachable for beginners — you can assemble a short, entertaining scene quickly and with almost no animation experience. It’s a fun way to bring spoken lines to life and share humorous or creative sketches online.
