What it is
A small tool that does one thing well
A text match cut is one of those effects you notice once and then see everywhere. A single word holds still in the centre of the screen while the page behind it flips from newspaper to book to poster, a dozen times a second. It grabs attention in the first second of a video, which is exactly the part that decides whether someone keeps watching.
Doing this by hand in an editor means lining up the same word on twenty different screenshots, frame by frame. This page does the boring part for you. You type the phrase, tap the word you want people to remember and press the button. A few seconds later you have a clean HD clip ready to drop at the start of your edit.
Everything runs on your own phone or computer. There is nothing to install, nothing to upload and no account to create.

Good questions.
Does it cost anything?
No. Every video is free to make and download. There is no account, no trial and no watermark. Ads on the page pay for the site.
What exactly is a text match cut?
It is a quick run of frames where one word stays fixed in the middle of the screen while everything around it changes: the font, the page, the layout. The eye locks on the word, so it feels like the whole world is pointing at it.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. The video is drawn and recorded inside your browser. Your phrase never leaves your device.
Which file will I get?
An MP4 on browsers that can record MP4, such as Chrome, Edge and Safari. Firefox records WebM, which TikTok, YouTube and most editors also accept.
How long are the videos?
You choose between 2 and 8 seconds. Three seconds is a good starting point for a hook at the start of a video.
Which size should I pick for TikTok?
Pick 9:16. It is the vertical size used by TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Use 1:1 for feed posts and 16:9 for YouTube and presentations.
Can I use the videos for clients or ads?
Yes. What you make is yours to use, including commercial projects.
Why does recording take a few seconds?
The video is recorded in real time, so a 3 second clip takes about 3 seconds. Keep the tab open and visible until the download button appears.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, on recent versions of Safari and Chrome. Older phones may record more slowly or at a lower frame rate.
Can I use Arabic or other languages?
Yes. Type in any language your device supports. Right to left text is laid out correctly around the highlighted word.
