Your first episode: Padel tactics, explained on a painted court
KitCutKitCutPick a topic you love: a sport, history, food, money, your city. KitCut writes, animates, narrates and scores every episode, so you can post every day and spend minutes on it, not weekends.
Every thumbnail above is a real video KitCut made for our own YouTube channels. Nobody filmed, voiced or edited them.
What it looks like
You bring the topic and the taste. KitCut does the writing, drawing, voicing and editing, episode after episode.
Start one channel or five: padel tips, money explained, a cartoon for your kids. Each keeps its own topic, voice, look and schedule, all in one account.
Write one line per episode. KitCut makes it, writes the title, description and thumbnail, and schedules it on your channel. Switch on auto-publish and new episodes go out on their own.
Show it one to three pictures of a look you like, from a channel you admire or your own sketches, and every episode follows it: the colours, the lettering, the feel.
Your cast, your narrator and your style return in every episode. A series stays a series, so episode 50 feels like episode 1.
Episodes up to 8 minutes, with chapters a viewer can follow. Planning 12 to 20 minute documentaries? Tell us after you sign up and we will set your account up for them.
Thirty studio-quality narrators, or your own voice cloned in ElevenLabs. Music and sound effects are composed for each video, never stock loops.
Channels you could start this week
Faceless channels already win in every one of these. The thumbnails are real videos by other creators on YouTube, to show what each kind of channel looks like; KitCut makes this kind of video for your channel, in your style.

Thumbnails: videos by the named YouTube channels, shown as examples of each niche; they were not made with KitCut. Ranges per 1,000 views are the published estimates in "What a faceless channel can earn" below.
Your first video is free. No card needed.
The money side
Ads are where it starts. Once a channel has an audience, sponsors, products and fans usually earn more than the ads do. Here is how it works, with the numbers people quote and the ones channels actually see.
What a channel keeps per 1,000 long-form views (RPM), as published by vidIQ, OutlierKit and Argil in 2025–26.
These are planning estimates, and real channels often earn less. Measured medians across 300 channels (AIR Media-Tech, 2025–26) were about $2 for finance and business and about $10 for education. Shorts pay far less: about $0.05–0.20 per 1,000 views. Long videos are where a channel earns.
Every one of these works for a faceless channel. None of them needs your face.
Paid on every long-form view once you join the Partner Program.
Half of creators earn most of their income from brand deals. A sponsored segment is quoted at $30–60 per 1,000 views in personal finance, $25–45 in tech and $18–30 in food.
Guides, courses, templates and books for the audience you built. Kurzgesagt's shop brought in 40% of its revenue from 2015 to 2022, three times its YouTube ads.
Open from 500 subscribers: channel memberships, Super Thanks and Super Chat.
License your videos, and grow a second and a third channel on what the first one taught you.
a month from ads alone for a personal-finance channel with 100,000 long-form views a month: about $200 at the measured median, $1,500 at the published estimate.
for one sponsored segment in a 100,000-view personal-finance video, at the $30–60 per 1,000 views planning estimates quote.
From this date, new channels need 8,000 watch hours (not 4,000) to join the Partner Program. Channels that get in before then keep today's bar.
How YouTube pays today: ads from 1,000 subscribers plus 4,000 watch hours in 12 months (or 10M Shorts views in 90 days); memberships and fan support from 500 subscribers, 3 uploads in 90 days and 3,000 watch hours. YouTube pays original work and turns away mass-produced, repetitive videos, so every KitCut episode is written, researched and drawn for its own idea. Earnings vary, and nobody can promise them.

Under the hood
Every episode is written and built for its own idea, in the look that suits it. That is what keeps a faceless channel from looking like every other one.
Characters drawn and animated line by line, like a cartoon series. Great for stories, kids and comedy.
Rich painted pictures brought to life. Great for sports, travel, history and anything that should feel cinematic.
Pictures cut out of paper, torn pages, print type, tape labels and stamps, moving like stop-motion. Great for history, business and explainers.
Add a photo and that person becomes a drawn character who talks in your film, in one of fourteen styles from crayon to woodcut.
Add screenshots of a headline, a post, a chart or a product, and they appear in the video, large and readable, right where the story needs them.
When an idea needs facts, KitCut looks them up and puts the names, numbers, charts and sources on screen.
You stay in charge
Proof, not promises
Press play. Each of these went up on one of our YouTube channels as KitCut made it.
How it works
A topic, an audience, a style you like. One line is enough to start, or paste a whole script.
Researched script, animated scenes, narration, music and sound effects. About half an hour for a minute of video, while you do something else.
Download in full HD with captions, or schedule straight to your channel with a title, description and thumbnail ready.
Questions
No. A narrator reads every video, in the language you write in: one of thirty studio voices, or your own voice from ElevenLabs.
YouTube pays channels that make original videos, and turns away mass-produced, repetitive ones. Every KitCut episode is written, drawn and scored for its own idea, which is what YouTube asks for. Whether a channel is paid is always YouTube's decision.
Yes, for any lawful purpose, including a monetized channel, sponsorships and your own products. Videos made on the free plan carry a small KitCut mark; paid plans have none.
Your first video is free: 30 free credits, enough for a 30-second video, and no card. One credit is one second of video. Paid plans give you minutes every month; the largest covers an 8-minute episode every day.
About half an hour for a minute, and 1½ to 2½ hours for an 8-minute episode. You can close the page while it is made; we email you when it is ready.
Yes. Connect several YouTube channels and give each its own series, voice, look and calendar.
Make your first episode free. It takes one click to start.
