About
OnTheTron by ActualCoolThings
OnTheTron is the easiest way to see yourself on a stadium jumbotron. Upload one selfie, and our AI drops you onto the big screen as a short, shareable broadcast clip — crowd, lights, and all.
What is OnTheTron?
You know that moment at a live game when the camera finds someone in the crowd and the whole stadium sees them on the giant screen? OnTheTron lets you create that moment from your couch — with you as the star.
There's no app to download and no account to create. You upload a clear selfie, our AI generates a realistic stadium broadcast scene with you on the jumbotron, animates it into a short video, and texts you the link when it's ready. Then you share it wherever you like. It's free.

Who is ActualCoolThings?
The internet is enormous, and most of it is noise. ActualCoolThings is our answer to that: we dig through it and surface the things that are actuallycool — the genuinely fun, clever, and share-worthy stuff — so you don't have to do the digging yourself.
Sometimes that means pointing you to something we found. Other times it means building the cool thing ourselves. OnTheTron is one of the things we built — a tiny, joyful idea executed well, made to be shared.
If you make something with OnTheTron that you love, tag us — seeing what people create is the best part.
What we stand for
Genuinely fun first
We only ship things we'd actually want to share ourselves. OnTheTron exists because seeing yourself on the jumbotron is delightful — that's the whole brief.
Respectful of your data
We use your photo to make your video and your number to text you the link — nothing more. No selling your data, no spam, opt out of texts anytime by replying STOP.
Honest about what it is
OnTheTron videos are AI-generated entertainment, not real broadcast footage. We never pretend otherwise.
