Frequently Asked Questions

IgniteDrama is an open home for vertical short dramas — think YouTube for short-form series. Anyone can register as a creator and upload their own short drama, and every creator series is free for everyone to watch.

Any device with a web browser — smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. The player is mobile-first, so phones get the full vertical viewing experience.

Our platform supports 16 languages including English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, French, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino, Turkish, Russian, Portuguese, and Malay.

An AI drama is a vertical short drama made with AI tools — AI-generated or AI-assisted animation, voices, dubbing and captions. Every AI title on Ignite Drama is labelled, and you can browse them all in the AI Dramas collection.

Yes — all of it from creators. Every series uploaded by a creator is free to watch, with no tokens and no subscription. The only paid content is IgniteDrama Originals and licensed shows, which unlock with tokens or VIP.

Browse the catalog and tap any series — no account needed for the first episodes. Creator series stay free; from episode 6 we ask you to sign in (free, no payment) so your progress syncs across devices.

Creator series are free forever. A free account from episode 6 onwards lets us sync your watch history, My List, and recommendations across devices — it is never a paywall.

Yes! Most series have auto-generated closed captions in 16 languages. You can toggle subtitles on/off and switch languages in the video player.

Offline downloads are not available yet. Streaming requires an internet connection, and any episode you unlock stays unlocked in your account.

Tokens are the unlock currency for IgniteDrama Originals and licensed shows only. Creator-uploaded series never require tokens — they are free for everyone, always.

Both apply to Originals and licensed shows only. Tokens buy a single episode permanently — best if you follow one Original. VIP unlocks every locked episode while your subscription is active — best if you binge across Originals. Creator series are free either way.

VIP is a subscription that unlocks every token-locked episode on IgniteDrama Originals and licensed shows while it is active. It renews weekly or yearly, you can cancel anytime, and it never affects creator series, which stay free.

Open the VIP Center from the top menu to buy token packs. We accept credit/debit cards and other payment methods through our secure payment processor.

Unused token purchases may be eligible for a refund within 7 days. Please contact our support team at support@ignitedrama.com.

Click 'Forgot Password' on the login screen and enter your email. You'll receive a reset link within a few minutes.

You can request account deletion by contacting us at support@ignitedrama.com. Please note that this action is permanent, and any unused tokens or VIP time on Originals will be forfeited.

Anyone can. Register a free account, submit the creator application from the Upload Short Drama page, and once approved you get your own Creator Studio to upload and manage series. Applying and uploading are completely free.

We review creator applications within 1–3 business days. You'll receive an email notification once your application is processed.

Vertical short drama series with episodes typically 1–10 minutes long. We support multiple languages and automatically generate closed captions.

Free standard series grow your audience, watch time and analytics. If your series runs as an Ignite Original, viewers unlock episodes with tokens and you receive a revenue share for every unlock.

In Creator Studio, set a series as an Ignite Original to enable token pricing — per episode or for the full series — and earn a share of every unlock. Standard series stay free for everyone and still build your audience.
