Turn Documents into
Hand-Illustrated Explainer Videos

DistilBook turns a document into a narrated explainer video that looks hand-illustrated. Upload a PDF, a Word file or an article link, or type a prompt. DistilBook writes the narration script and pauses so you can review and edit every line. Then it draws original artwork for each slide and animates it in time with the voiceover.

Every scene is original artwork drawn for your content, revealed stroke by stroke as the narration reaches it, so the finished video looks like an illustrator made it for you. There are 15 visual styles: a hand-drawn whiteboard look plus 14 motion-graphics styles such as isometric illustration, soft 3D, cut paper collage, inkwash journal and editorial flat vector.

Most AI video tools reuse something the viewer has seen before: stock footage, a synthetic presenter, template characters, or one whiteboard look for every subject. DistilBook uses none of these. It draws new scenes for your content, in any of 15 styles, from a script you approve first, with your own logo and brand colours on every paid plan.

PDFs (including scanned pages), Word documents, Markdown, plain text, images, article links, or a written prompt. Lessons, training manuals, SOPs, research papers, course material, product guides and book summaries all work well. PDFs can be up to 10 pages on the free and Basic plans, 30 on Pro and 999 on Max.

Yes, before it is made. DistilBook shows you the narration script before anything is drawn or voiced, so you can fix names, numbers and wording, or regenerate a slide's narration with your own instructions. The narration is locked once generation starts, so this review is where you get it right. You can also write visual instructions to steer how the artwork is drawn, and on Pro you can pause at each slide to edit its image before continuing.

Yes, on every paid plan, including the $15 one. Add them once and DistilBook applies them to every scene of every video. Branding is never an upgrade.

Yes. DistilBook makes videos in 16:9 landscape or 9:16 vertical, so the same document can become a course video and a short for social media.

The script is ready to review within a couple of minutes. After you approve it, the first narrated slide plays in about 6 minutes, and a typical 8 to 10 slide video finishes in about 35 minutes. A whiteboard video can run to about 36 minutes in one piece.

You get 30 free credits when you sign up, with no card. A slide costs 10 credits, so that is a complete 3 slide narrated video you can watch in full and share by link. Paid plans are $15, $35 and $75 a month for 170, 450 and 1,000 credits, and remove the watermark.

Yes. Course creators, publishers, trainers and teams use it for lessons, onboarding, SOPs, compliance training and product guides. Your logo and brand colours are on every paid plan, narration is available in more than 20 languages, and the Max plan gives 1,000 credits a month. For more volume, email ajith@distilbook.com.

Yes. Your documents travel over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and live in private cloud storage tied to your account, so only you can access your uploads and generated videos, and share links exist only for videos you choose to publish. Your content is used solely to generate your videos; we never use it to train AI models. You stay in control: deleting a video permanently removes it from our storage.

MP4, up to 1440p on paid plans, ready for a course platform, a website, a presentation or social media. Every video, including free ones, also gets a share link. Free videos carry a watermark, which paid plans remove.
