Turn your chess game into a video in one click — free, with game analysis

Turn any of your chess games into a ready-to-share MP4 with game analysis, move classifications, and an evaluation overlay. Import from Chess.com, Lichess, or a PGN file and export in TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, or YouTube format.

Examples

Real games from the site, rendered with random styles to show the range of looks you can get. Every player below is the same exporter that runs on your own games. Some features (non-default backgrounds, alternate piece sets and boards, effects) are only available on the Pro plan.

How it works

1. Import or open a game — paste a Chess.com or Lichess username, upload a PGN file, or open a game you’ve already analyzed. Analysis runs automatically if it hasn’t been done yet.
2. Click “Create video” — the button sits in the move-stats panel on the game page. The video editor opens.
3. Sign in if you haven’t — free email signup, needed to export the final file.
4. Pick a format — vertical 9:16 for Reels/Shorts/TikTok, horizontal 16:9 for YouTube and Twitch clips, or square 1:1 for Instagram feed and X.
5. Download the MP4 — the video renders in the browser with board animation, move labels, eval bar, and accuracy stats. Save it and post.

What each video includes

• Full move-by-move board animation with captures and checks
• Move classifications — blunder, brilliant, best, inaccuracy — same scale as a Chess.com review
• Stockfish evaluation bar on the side of the board
• Final accuracy and game-stat summary
• Player names, ratings, and the detected opening
• Optional move, capture, check, and checkmate sounds

Formats and platforms

• 9:16 (1080×1920) — TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts
• 16:9 (1920×1080) — YouTube, Twitch clips, Twitter/X landscape
• 1:1 (1080×1080) — Instagram feed, Facebook, LinkedIn

Why it’s free

Game analysis is already done by the time you hit export — the video just uses data we already have, so there’s no per-export limit. You just need a free account. Premium is only for removing the brand watermark, adding your own logo, webcam recording, and visual effects.
