Claw Machineanimated bookstagram & BookTok template
A cabinet full of your books. The claw comes down, grabs one, and it fills the screen. Let it pick at random, or choose the winner.
You bring 8 book covers and 2 short lines of your own words. About 9 seconds come out, 1080×1920, as an MP4 — the size Instagram Stories, Reels and TikTok all want. Nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded to us: the video is put together in your own browser.

How the Claw Machine template works
- Step 1
Drop your covers in
Search the book by name and the cover arrives, or upload your own photo. 8 slots, filled in any order.
- Step 2
Type your words
Your headline goes where the placeholder is. Colours, background and lettering are pickers, not layers — there is no timeline to fight.
- Step 3
Save the video
About 9 seconds, 1080×1920, exported as an MP4 from your own browser — ready to post to Instagram Stories, Reels or TikTok.
The same idea, shot another way
Who it is for
Bookstagram and BookTok accounts that post more often than they have time to edit. Book bloggers, bookshops, libraries, reading challenges and book clubs use the same templates — anywhere a shelf of covers has to become a video without opening editing software.
Try it before you decide
The studio is free to open and free to play with. One payment gives you every template and every export, for good — no subscription.
