Why I built this.

My dad spent years writing a book. He poured experience and personal discovery into every page. When I tried to help him market it, I realized how difficult it was — but also how important.

I've always loved a good story. Books, comics, anime, Broadway — format didn't matter, getting lost in another world did. That's what drew me to screenwriting at USC. I also loved building things, which is how I got obsessed with writing code.

BookTrailer.io is the tool I wish I had — one that understands story, uses AI without losing craft, and helps authors bring their books to readers. If you've ever poured yourself into a book and wondered how anyone would ever find it, I built this for you.

Reach

Your book deserves to be found.

10 billion

monthly active users across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.

The #1 reason book trailers fail isn't quality — it's distribution. Algorithms reward accounts that post 3–5 times per week, every week. A single trailer posted to a new or personal account is invisible before it starts.

We make it easy. Our Bookworm manuscript AI reads your book and helps you curate social content — so you can post consistently across every platform without marketing becoming a second job.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

Yes — that's the whole point. One manuscript upload gives you portraits, quote cards, scene stills, social posts, cover variants, teaser reels, and a full trailer. Think of it less as a trailer tool and more as your launch's content studio.

A lot more than a trailer. Most authors start with a character portrait or a quote card — something they can post the same day they sign up. Scene stills and short social clips come next. The full trailer is the payoff once the other pieces have been working for you.

Traditionally, $1,000–$20,000 through a production company, with weeks of turnaround. Booktrailer.io starts at $25/month — and your first trailer takes minutes, not weeks. (Sources: Film 14, Beverly Boy)

About an hour from start to finish. You paste your blurb, pick a style, and the AI generates your scenes, characters, and storyboard. Compare that to 1–3 weeks with a freelancer or 10–20 hours of DIY editing in a generic video tool.

Yes. Character consistency is a core feature. Your protagonist looks like the same person from the first frame to the last — same hair, same features, same clothing. This is one of the hardest problems in visuals crafted with AI, and it's built into every trailer.

Every visual is generated from your specific book — your characters, your settings, your story. Nothing is templated or recycled from stock footage. It won't be mistaken for live-action, but it will look polished, professional, and dramatically better than the slideshow templates that dominate the market.

Your trailer is just the start. Every character portrait, style, and scene you create is reusable — turn them into quote cards, chapter teasers, character reveals, countdown posts, and more. Enough content to post 3–5 times a week without starting from scratch.

Yes, 100%. You get full commercial rights to use your trailer anywhere — Amazon, social media, your website, paid ads.

Just a blurb, synopsis, or manuscript. You can paste text, upload a PDF/EPUB/DOCX, or just describe your book in a few sentences.

Several, and the list changes. We evaluate every major image and video model against author use cases and keep the ones that actually produce publishable results. You don't have to track AI news — that's our job.

Your readers are out there.
