Read the Cards · Studioanimated bookstagram & BookTok template

A real lace mat on a candlelit table. Three printed cards are dealt face down and turned one by one, and each one is a book you are reading next.

A frame from the Read the Cards · Studio template: the same spread, photographed

You bring 3 book covers and 2 short lines of your own words. About 11 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 Read the Cards · Studio template works

  1. Step 1

    Drop your covers in

    Search the book by name and the cover arrives, or upload your own photo. 3 slots, filled in any order.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Save the video

    About 11 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.
