What is the best reel maker app for beginners?
+
One with templates. The timing, transitions and captions are already done, so your first reel looks finished. In ReelXo you pick a template, add the photos or clips it asks for, and you're done. The full editor is there when you want more control.
How do I make a reel with photos and music?
+
Open ReelXo, pick a template or tap Create, and select your photos. Choose a track from the built-in royalty-free library. ReelXo cuts your photos to the beat and adds gentle motion to each one. Fade the music in or out if you like, then export.
Is ReelXo free, and does it add a watermark?
+
ReelXo is free to download on Android and iPhone, and your exported reels have no watermark. The MP4 you share is exactly what you saw in the preview.
What size should an Instagram Reel be?
+
Instagram Reels fill the screen at 9:16, which is 1080 × 1920 pixels. ReelXo's Reel format exports at exactly that size in HD. There are also 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9 formats for feed posts and YouTube.
Can I add captions that highlight word by word?
+
Yes. Karaoke captions light up each word as it's spoken or sung, and you can retime any word on the caption lane of the timeline.
Does ReelXo work for TikTok and YouTube Shorts too?
+
Yes. TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels all use vertical 9:16 video, so one ReelXo export works on all three. Share it straight from the export screen.
Is the music in ReelXo copyright-free?
+
The in-app library only includes openly licensed, royalty-free tracks you can use in your reels. Each track shows its licence in the app. Some ask for a credit line, which you can paste into your caption.
Do I need an account to make a reel?
+
No. You can import media, apply a template, edit and export without signing up. Projects are saved on your phone and autosave as you go.
