Help & FAQ
Lafrio questions, answered
Everything you need to know about making scrolling text videos with Lafrio, from your first render to what happens to your files.
Getting started
What is Lafrio?
Lafrio is a free online scrolling text video maker. You paste a script, add a voiceover and a background image, and Lafrio turns them into an MP4 where the words scroll up the screen in time with your voice. It runs in your browser, so there's nothing to install. Lafrio is made by Replex Media.
Is Lafrio really free?
Yes. You can make, preview and download videos without paying and without creating an account. Lafrio is supported by a small number of ads on the home page and on the screen you see while your video renders. Your finished video never has a watermark or an ad in it.
How do I make a scrolling text video?
Open the Lafrio editor, paste your script, upload your voiceover and pick a background image. Press play to check the timing, then click Render video and download your MP4. Most short videos take a minute or two from start to finish.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. There's no account, no app and no browser extension. Open lafrio.com in any modern browser and start making a video straight away.
Does Lafrio work on a phone?
Yes, the editor works in your phone's browser, and the video is rendered on our servers, so your phone doesn't do the heavy lifting. For long scripts, a laptop or desktop is more comfortable to type and edit on.
Features
Can the text follow my voice line by line?
It can. Choose Sync under Scroll speed and click Analyze speech timing, and each line arrives on screen as you say it, pauses included. If you'd rather keep it simple, the default Fit audio setting scrolls at a steady pace and ends exactly when your audio does.
What sizes and quality can I export?
You can export 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, 4:5 or 1:1 for feed posts, 16:9 for YouTube, or a custom ratio. Every video downloads as an H.264 MP4 with AAC audio, in SD, HD or 2K.
Can I write my script in Urdu or Arabic?
Yes. Lafrio handles right-to-left text and includes Urdu Nastaliq and Arabic Naskh fonts, as well as English sans-serif and serif. You can also upload your own font file if your brand uses one.
Can I style the text and add music?
You can make single words bold, italic or a different colour, add emoji, and adjust the outline, shadow, line spacing and margins. Background music sits under your voiceover with its own volume control. The preview shows exactly what the final video will look like.
Can I preview the video before rendering?
Yes. The editor plays a live preview with your voiceover, and you can drag the progress bar to any moment to check a line. Change a setting while paused and the preview updates on the spot.
How long can my script be?
There's no fixed limit on script length. Longer voiceovers simply take longer to analyse and render, so a 20-minute recording can take several minutes.
Files & privacy
What happens to my files?
Your files are used only to make your video. Uploads are deleted automatically within 24 hours, rendered videos a few hours after they're made, and you keep full rights to everything you create. Read the privacy policy for the details.
Will my video have a watermark?
No. Videos you make with Lafrio download clean, with no watermark, logo or ad inside them, so you can post them anywhere.
