Girato
For TikTok, Reels and Shorts

Tall videos from your screen, with nothing cut off.

Most tools crop a wide screen to fit a phone. Girato keeps the whole recording on a backdrop, and every zoom fills the tall frame with what you clicked.

The short list

Why short-form creators switch to Girato

Each one is shown in the real app. No mock-ups.

01

Tall by design, not by cropping

  • In 9:16 the whole screen shows on your backdrop.
  • Zooms fill the frame on each click.
  • Prefer the cropped look? It's one click away.
Check it: Show all and Fill and crop, both in the free plan.
02

Captions that read on mute

  • Most short videos are watched muted.
  • Girato writes captions from your voice, on your computer.
  • Then it burns them in.
Check it: local captions, no per-minute fees.
03

It zooms into every click for you

  • Most demos get their zooms by hand, keyframe by keyframe.
  • Girato reads your clicks while you record.
  • It aims the camera at each one, then glides back out.
  • You never open a keyframe.
Check it: record 20 seconds free. The zooms are in before you touch anything.
04

It looks like a studio made it

  • A gentle 3D lean, a soft shadow and rounded corners.
  • One of 26 backdrops behind it.
  • A flat screen grab ends up looking designed.
  • One click changes the whole look.
Check it: 26 named backdrops and 4 aspect ratios, all in the free plan.
05

Pay once, or never

  • The full editor is free for good, with a small badge.
  • Pro removes the badge and adds 4K.
  • Or pay $99 once and never see a renewal email.
Money-back: 14 days on your first Pro purchase, on top of your statutory rights.
