How to make a Quran recitation video for Reels and Shorts
The recitation video maker starts with a reciter and a passage rather than an uploaded recording. You choose the ayahs and visual direction; the studio builds a video around the existing recitation for you to review.
1. Choose your reciter and passage
Open Recitation videos. Preview the available reciters, then use manual selection to choose a surah and the first and last ayahs. Select a complete passage you can listen to and review carefully.
The theme-based workflow can suggest a passage for a reminder or another theme. Treat that as a suggestion: review the selected ayahs and their context before publishing. The audio comes from the selected reciter’s existing recording, not a synthesized imitation of the reciter.
2. Set the format and visual style
Choose vertical 9:16 for a typical Reel or Short, landscape 16:9 for a wider video, or square 1:1. Pick a visual style and a caption presentation that works with the frame.
If you include a translation, allow enough space beneath the Arabic for both lines to be readable. Check the credit estimate and your available balance before starting generation.
3. Review the generated project
When the video is ready, listen through the recitation and inspect the passage. Open the editor to refine caption timing, typography, placement and framing. Read the translation and check it against the intended passage.
Review the beginning and ending of the video as well as its middle. Make sure the passage is not cut at an awkward point, the text is legible and the visual framing does not distract from the recitation.
4. Download a version ready to share
Export the reviewed project, download it and play the final file. Platform previews can crop or cover part of a vertical frame, so keep essential text away from the edges.
If you already have your own recitation recording and only need Arabic subtitles, use Automatic Quran captions. Both workflows let you review a ready project in the editor before exporting.
