The editing mode that swaps the inspector for a timeline, letting you build a motion sequence from the same canvas you styled — then render it out as a video or GIF.
A mark drawn over your capture — pen and highlighter strokes, arrows, rectangles, ellipses, blur or redaction areas, and numbered steps. Annotations remain editable layers, so they never alter the source screenshot.
A texture that redraws the current background as characters. Choose from seven character sets, adjust the grid resolution and opacity, invert the brightness mapping, and use either one color or colors sampled from the background. ASCII settings can also be animated.
The width-to-height proportion of the canvas — 16:9, 1:1, 4:3, 9:16, or a custom ratio. Aspect ratio shapes the frame you export into and is independent of the resolution you export at.
An image or SVG layered on the canvas — a logo, badge, 3D shape, or decorative element. Each asset has its own position, size, rotation, stack order, opacity, blend mode, and filter.
A background generated by sampling the dominant colors from your screenshot, producing a gradient that belongs to the capture instead of clashing with it.
The layer behind the capture but inside the canvas padding. It can carry color adjustments, noise, a filter, patterns, directional lighting, overlays, portrait blur, and an ASCII texture — the atmosphere the capture sits against.
The fill behind everything on the canvas. It can be transparent, a solid color, a gradient, an image from Tokokino's background library or Unsplash, an uploaded image, or an auto palette sampled from the capture.
Tokokino's built-in collection of image backgrounds, organized into packs such as Cloud, Fluid, Gradient, Minimal, and Wood. Library images can be browsed and applied without uploading a file.
How a layer's colors mix with what's beneath it — multiply, screen, overlay, and more. Applied per text layer, asset, or screenshot layer for compositing effects.
An outline drawn around the screenshot, with its own color, width (0–12px), style, and inner padding (0–80px) — useful for lifting a light capture off a light background.
A board view where multiple canvases live side by side on an infinite surface, so you can arrange, compare, and style several screenshots at once before exporting or previewing them.
One styled composition — the core unit of a Tokokino project. Each canvas holds its own screenshot, video, GIF, or social post along with its background, effects, layers, framing, and optional animation. A project can hold up to 20 canvases.
The unit of animation on the timeline — a span with a start, a duration, and a set of effects it owns. Playback eases each effect from the committed baseline toward the clip's target values.
A still-image export copied directly to the system clipboard at 1080 pixels wide. It is useful when you want to paste a finished canvas into another app without downloading a file first.
Per-pixel adjustments applied to the screenshot or video itself — blur, brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, grayscale, sepia, and invert. Distinct from the backdrop's grade, which affects only the layer behind.
Trimming the capture down to a region of interest. Tokokino keeps the original untouched behind the crop, so you can re-crop or restore the full frame at any point.
A reusable snapshot of a layout, styling, and framing. Static presets save a still composition; animate presets can also preserve the timeline, letting the same treatment be applied to future projects.
A mockup wrapper around a capture: phones, tablets, watches, laptops, desktops, browser chrome, and Tokokino's glass frames. Hardware frames expose their available colors and vertical or horizontal variants.
A project snapshot you explicitly save to your account so you can reopen the same composition later. A draft keeps the editor state and thumbnail; video drafts also upload the media needed to restore the project.
The curve a clip follows between its baseline and its target — linear, cubic, ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out, out-circ, or a custom cubic-bezier you drag by hand. Easing is what separates mechanical motion from motion that feels designed.
A one-tap image treatment applied to the screenshot — Auto, Vivid, Soft, Dramatic, or Sharp — that adjusts brightness, contrast, and saturation without manual sliders.
The output width your image renders at: HD (1920px), 4K (3840px), or 8K (7680px). Resolution is separate from canvas zoom, which only affects your editing viewport.
A named look applied to a screenshot, video, or asset layer — B&W, Sepia, Vintage, Warm, Cool, Fade, Vivid, Noir, Dream, Mono, or Invert. Filters stack on top of any manual color grade.
A translucent frame that frosts the background behind a capture. Glass Card uses a single pane, while Glass Cascade and Glass Crown add offset panes for depth; every glass frame has light and dark variants.
A translucent annotation brush — shortcut H — that lays a wide band of color across the capture without hiding what sits under it. Like pen and eraser marks it stays an editable stroke, so it can be recolored or removed later.
The panel beside the canvas holding the styling controls — Position, Background, Backdrop, Shapes, Border, Padding, Tilt & Scale, Shadow, and the post settings when the canvas holds a social post. Switching to Animate mode swaps it for the timeline.
A still export format alongside PNG and WebP. It trades transparency for a far smaller file, which is also why share links fall back to it — a PNG capture over the upload ceiling is re-encoded as JPEG at stepped quality until it fits.
A point on the timeline that captures target values — position, zoom, tilt, shadow, lighting, background, filters — so the editor can animate smoothly between states for a demo. In Tokokino a keyframe is expressed as a clip.
Any stackable element in a composition — the main capture, extra screenshot slots, text, images, SVGs, shapes, or annotations. Layers can be hidden, reordered, brought forward, or sent backward.
A composition that arranges multiple screenshot slots — Side by Side, Depth Duo, Fan Out, Scatter, Perspective, and more — each defining per-slot position, rotation, tilt, and scale.
A directional color treatment cast on either the backdrop around a capture or the inside of the capture frame. Its direction, intensity, color, and target can be adjusted and keyframed in Animate mode.
Tokokino keeps editing and export work in the browser by default. Local screenshots and videos leave the device only when you deliberately save a cloud draft or create a share link; URL capture and online imports are separate network features you explicitly request.
A video export format alongside WebM and GIF, encoded on your device. It is the one to reach for where WebM playback isn't supported — Safari in particular — since the same timeline renders to either.
A grain slider on the backdrop, 0 to 100, that scatters fine speckle across the layer behind the capture. A little of it keeps a flat gradient from reading as synthetic.
How the screenshot sizes into its box: contain (fit whole image), cover (fill and crop), or fill (stretch to the box). Controls what happens when image and box proportions differ.
The installed editor can keep loading and editing without a network connection. The current project persists locally in the browser; cloud saves, sharing, URL capture, social-post imports, and Unsplash search require a connection and happen only when requested.
One or more repeating geometric textures drawn into the backdrop — grids, dots, lines, and more — with adjustable intensity, stroke thickness, and color.
A depth-of-field effect — Soft, Studio, Spot, Frame, Iris, Blur, or Stage — that blurs around a focal region to draw the eye, tuned by intensity, position, and distance.
A distraction-free playback of your canvases in sequence, with slide, fade, zoom, or flip transitions and optional auto-scroll — a way to review a set before exporting it.
The working file that groups a composition's canvases, styling, layers, media references, and optional timelines. A project remains local while you edit and becomes a cloud draft only when you explicitly save it to your account.
The post nested inside another one in an X or Bluesky mockup. When the fetched post quotes something, a switch in the post settings shows or hides that inner card — next to the avatar, images, stats, and timestamp toggles.
A blur shape drawn over the parts of a capture you don't want read, in four treatments — Blur, Solid redact, Striped redact, and Pixel redact. It covers the region as an editable layer rather than deleting pixels, so it stays adjustable.
The size of the screenshot inside its canvas, from 10% to 300%. Scale changes the capture within the frame; it does not change the canvas or the exported resolution.
An extra capture placed on a canvas alongside the primary media — up to three additional slots. Slots power multi-shot layouts, and each can carry its own crop, frame, position, tilt, scale, border, shadow, lighting, and color treatment.
The cast shadow beneath the screenshot. Six types — Drop, Soft, Hard, Glow, Float, and Linear — each with adjustable intensity, light-source direction, and custom color.
One of 106 rendered 3D objects you can drop onto a canvas. A shape becomes an ordinary asset layer, so it moves, scales, filters, and reorders like any other image.
A public URL for a captured composition — still or animated. Tokokino renders the canvas, uploads it, and returns a link anyone can open, with view tracking and per-user deduplication.
An X or Bluesky post rendered as a card on the canvas in place of a screenshot. Paste a post URL and Tokokino rebuilds it, so you can style it like any other capture.
A ready-made composition containing a background, framing, layers, and sometimes a complete animation. Applying a template gives you an editable starting point rather than a locked result.
Free-floating type placed over the canvas, with its own font, weight, size, spacing, color, stroke, shadow, alignment, opacity, and blend mode. Over 100 Google Fonts are available.
A 3D rotation of the screenshot around the X, Y, and Z axes (each -180° to 180°), giving the capture perspective and depth. Often paired with scale via single-shot tilt presets.
The per-canvas animation track where clips live. Scrubbing the timeline plays the transitions between them, which you can render out as a WebM, MP4, or GIF product demo with optional audio.
Cutting a video down to the segment you want, and muting it if you don't want the audio. Trimmed segments map onto the animation timeline so motion and footage stay in sync.
The stack of document states behind every edit — up to 100 steps back. Styling, layers, and layout changes are undoable; view state such as zoom and mode is not.
The searchable photo source built into the image-background picker. Results show photographer credit, and selecting one applies its hosted image as the canvas background while recording the download event required by Unsplash.
Screenshotting a live webpage by pasting its address. Tokokino loads the page in a remote browser and returns either the viewport or a full-page capture whose visible region can be repositioned inside the frame.
Encoding an animated canvas to WebM, MP4, or GIF. The entire encode runs on your device — frames are captured, muxed with any source audio, and written out without the footage leaving your machine.
An optional mark stamped onto exports or animated renders to attribute the source, applied during the capture step rather than baked into the editable canvas.
A post from X rebuilt as a card on the canvas. Paste its URL and Tokokino fetches the author, text, images, and stats, then renders them in your chosen theme — Bluesky posts import the same way. The aspect picker also carries X sizes for posts, photo posts, headers, and profile photos.
Canvas sizes for YouTube in the aspect picker — Video (1920×1080), Thumbnail (1280×720), Shorts (1080×1920), Channel Cover (2048×1152), and Channel Icon (800×800). One of the platform groups there, beside X, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and the app stores.
The magnification of the editing viewport (canvas zoom). It changes how large the canvas appears while you work and has no effect on export resolution or the final image.
