Naver Webtoon announced the launch of Cuts Make, a mobile app that turns webtoon panels and characters into short-form animated videos. The app connects to the company's existing Cuts short-form animation service and offers two creation modes: Character Meme, which uses templates for trend-driven clips, and Webtoon MV, which assembles panels into music-video-style edits. All intellectual property in the app is licensed from original creators, so users can make derivative content without copyright risk. Nine webtoon titles are available at launch, including Romance 101, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, and Operation: True Love. Cuts Make is downloadable now on Google Play in South Korea; an iOS version will follow after App Store approval.
