What your film looks like

The best moments of a trip are rarely on camera: the night train, the stranger who gave directions, the view after a long climb. A travel diary video lets you tell those moments in order. Write the journey day by day, and showmylife draws each place and scene with the same travellers throughout.

Each film combines illustrated storyboard pictures, AI narration and subtitles in an MP4 (16:9, 9:16 or 1:1). It is an illustrated story film and does not promise fully animated character motion or live-action footage.

How It Works

From a few paragraphs to a finished MP4 in three steps.

  1. Write the journey

    Paste your travel journal or describe the trip day by day: where you went, who was there and what you felt.

  2. Draw each stop

    AI splits the trip into shots and draws the places and travellers consistently, in the illustration style you pick.

  3. Export the trip film

    Add narration and subtitles, choose 16:9 for screens or 9:16 for phones, and download the MP4.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need photos or videos from the trip?

No. Your written journal is enough. Optional reference photos help keep travellers recognisable, if you have permission to use them.

Can I make a vertical video for my phone?

Yes. You can export the finished film in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, so it fits a screen, a phone or a square post.

Can I tell a trip that happened years ago?

Yes. Many travel diary videos are made from old journals or from memory. Add the details you remember and review each scene before export.

How much does it cost?

New accounts receive 5 free credits. Story writing and storyboard breakdown cost 0.5 credits each, and each new picture costs 1 credit. Narration, subtitles and MP4 export cost no credits. Credit packs start at US$9.90.

Can I edit the film before I download it?

Yes. You can rewrite narration, regenerate or upload pictures, choose a voice and adjust subtitles for every shot, then preview and download the MP4.
