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

April 24, 2026·4 min read

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

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.
Click “Create video” — the button sits in the move-stats panel on the game page. The video editor opens.
Sign in if you haven’t — free email signup, needed to export the final file.
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.
Download the MP4 — the video renders in the browser with board animation, move labels, eval bar, and accuracy stats. Save it and post.

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.

FAQ

How much does it cost?▼

Free for every format with a small chess.rodeo watermark. Premium removes the watermark and adds webcam overlay, visual effects, and a custom logo.

Where do the games come from?▼

Any Chess.com or Lichess game you import by username, or any PGN file you upload.

Which engine is used?▼

Stockfish, running server-side — the same analysis you see everywhere else on chess.rodeo.

How do I share the video?▼

Download the MP4 and post it to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X/Twitter, or any social network.

Does the video have sound?▼

Yes — move, capture, check, and checkmate sounds. They can be muted in the editor.

Does it work on mobile?▼

The editor works on mobile, but the final render runs in the browser — we recommend exporting from a desktop for best results.
