How to make a Quran Reel in your browser

1. Choose a reciter and your ayahs

Open the studio and choose a reciter in Content first. Then select a surah, the start and end ayah, and a translation. Wait for the recitation and timings to load before playing the preview.

2. Pick a template and video format

Choose a template from the gallery or customize your own background and colors. Use vertical 9:16 for Reels and Shorts. Leave space around the Arabic and translation so social platform controls do not cover important text.

3. Split long verses and translations

In the text controls, set words per screen for the whole video or override the setting for an individual ayah. Review each screen and its translation. Adjust translation breaks when needed: translation chunks are a reading aid, not a word-for-word alignment.

4. Listen and review synchronization

Play the entire composition. Check that the correct ayah is visible and that highlights and screen changes follow the recitation. Use the synchronization editor to adjust boundaries when needed. If you switch reciters, wait for loading to finish and review the new timings.

5. Export MP4 and check the actual file

Open Export, select an available quality setting and start rendering. Keep the page available to monitor progress and download the completed MP4. Listen to the exported file and check its text, translation and margins before sharing. Export time varies with video length, visual effects and server load.

6. Save in the same browser

Projects and autosaves live in your current browser. Use Save to keep the project in this browser, and download finished MP4s separately. Clearing browser data or changing devices will not carry your project over. Optional support does not add cloud synchronization.

Ready for your first Reel?

Start with a template and a short ayah range to get comfortable with the editor, then build from there.
