Using NanoFlick

If you don't see your question here, the Help menu inside the app (Settings → Help & Support) is the fastest path to direct support.

Getting started

Do I need an account to create a video?

No. You can install NanoFlick and start making flicks immediately — no account required. You'll only need to sign up if you want to share to NanoFlick itself, follow other creators, or subscribe to Premium or Pro. Sharing to your camera roll, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and other outside services works without an account.

How do I download the app?

NanoFlick is available for iPhone on the App Store. Search for "NanoFlick" or follow the link from nanoflick.com. The app is free to download and free to use — Premium and Pro features are available as in-app subscriptions if you want them.

Subscriptions

What's the difference between Free, Premium, and Pro?

NanoFlick is free to download and free to use. You can make and share videos with the included filters, transitions, background music, and sound effects without paying anything. Free flicks include a NanoFlick watermark and an animated logo endslate.

Premium adds:

  • Removal of the watermark on shared flicks.
  • A subtle, minimal endslate in place of the animated logo.
  • A library of dramatic filters, premium transitions, and premium sound effects.
  • Custom watermarks (import your own or pick from our library).
  • Story Mode — save your flick as a series of separate clips, one per shot.

Pro includes everything in Premium and adds:

  • Full removal of the endslate, or replacement with a custom endslate from our library or your own image.
  • Final Cut Pro export — send your shot clips and timeline to FCP on a Mac for advanced editing.
  • Sharing individual shots and other Pro-only features.

You can also unlock Premium features for a single flick with a one-time purchase if you don't want a recurring subscription.

Does Premium remove the watermark?

Yes. With NanoFlick Premium, any flick you share will be rendered without the NanoFlick watermark in the lower-right corner. The animated logo endslate is also replaced with a simple, minimal endslate.

If you want to remove the endslate entirely — or swap in a custom endslate of your own — that's a Pro feature.

If you cancel Premium, future shares (after your subscription lapses) will revert to the free version with watermark and logo endslate. For that reason, we recommend saving any flicks you care about to your camera roll before cancelling. If you renew later, your Premium settings come back.

How do I cancel?

NanoFlick consumer subscriptions (Premium and Pro) are billed through Apple, so cancellation is handled in your Apple ID subscription settings — not inside the NanoFlick app. On your iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and select NanoFlick to cancel or change your plan.

After cancellation, your subscription stays active until the end of the current billing period. Once it lapses, future shares revert to the free version (watermark and animated endslate). We recommend saving any flicks you care about to your camera roll before cancelling — if you renew later, the Premium or Pro settings come back automatically.

If you're on a NanoFlick for Teams plan (billed through Stripe rather than the App Store), reach out to your team admin or contact us directly.

Sharing

How do I share to Instagram or TikTok?

When your flick is ready, open the share screen and pick the service you want — Instagram, TikTok, or any other supported service. NanoFlick will hand the rendered video off to that app and you'll finish the post there.

The simplest universal option is to share to your camera roll first. From there you can upload to any service exactly as if you'd recorded the video natively, which is useful when a service updates its share extension or doesn't support direct hand-off.

You can also share the same flick at multiple aspect ratios — landscape on YouTube, portrait on TikTok, square on Instagram — all at full frame, no stretching, no black bars. If you plan to share at multiple ratios, shoot in landscape orientation; it gives you the most flexibility.

Why is my video muted on Facebook?

Almost always: copyrighted music. Facebook (and YouTube, and most large platforms) automatically scans the audio track of every uploaded video against a copyright database. If it thinks the music infringes — even a few seconds of a recognizable song — it'll mute the audio or block the video entirely.

If you used a track from your own music library, that's the likely cause. Swap in a song from NanoFlick's royalty-free library and re-share, and the audio should come through normally. The royalty-free library is safe to use on any platform.

If you weren't using music at all, check whether something in the background — a TV, radio, or a song playing at the venue — got picked up by the microphone. That's enough to trigger the auto-mute.

Privacy

Who can see my videos?

You're in control of how and where your flicks are shared.

You can keep a flick on your device with no sharing at all. Or you can share it to outside services like Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Facebook, X, or YouTube. You can also share via email, text message, or save to your camera roll.

Anytime you share a flick, you can also choose to share it to NanoFlick itself, where other people can view it inside the app. Each flick has its own visibility setting, and you can set a default in your account settings:

  • Me — visible only to you.
  • Fans — visible to people who follow you on NanoFlick. They'll find it in their Following feed and on your profile.
  • Public — visible to anyone, and eligible to appear in the app's Top Flicks feed.

NanoFlick visibility settings only control viewing inside the NanoFlick app. If you share a flick to an outside service like Facebook or YouTube, visibility on that service is managed there.

What does Public mean?

A flick set to Public can be viewed by anyone inside the NanoFlick app, and is eligible to appear in the Top Flicks feed. This is different from "Fans," which limits visibility to people who follow you, and from "Me," which keeps the flick private to your account.

Public visibility only applies to viewing inside NanoFlick. If you separately share the flick to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or any other service, that service's own visibility controls apply there.

Can I make a video private after sharing?

Yes — you can change a flick's NanoFlick visibility at any time. Switching it from Public or Fans to Me will remove it from other people's feeds and from the Top Flicks list inside the app.

Important caveat: changing visibility only affects viewing inside NanoFlick. If you previously shared the flick to YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or any other service, that copy stays where you put it. You'll need to delete or change visibility on those services directly.
