A memorial video, from your photos.
No video editing skills required
Upload family photos and videos, describe the person in plain language, and Glinded composes a downloadable video — gentle transitions, readable text, licensed music — right inside ChatGPT.
You bring the photos. Glinded does the rest.
Most memorial-video tools are template editors: pick a layout, drop photos into a timeline, set durations, choose a transition for every slide, trim the music yourself. That's fine if you enjoy editing — but a grieving family rarely wants to learn video software at all.
Glinded is conversation-first. You describe the person and the tone you want in plain language. Glinded's AI does the composition — sequencing, pacing, transitions, on-screen text, and music. You review what it made and ask for changes the same way you'd ask a person.
Five steps, all in conversation.
The whole process happens through a normal chat in ChatGPT. No timeline, no template gallery, no drag-and-drop.

How Glinded compares to the usual tools.
