DistilBook generates a complete whiteboard animation from your source material in one run: it writes the script, draws every scene in a hand-drawn style, and narrates it with an AI voice. Your first narrated slide is ready in about 6 minutes, and a typical 8 to 10 slide video finishes in about 15 to 25 minutes.
You start free: signing up gives you 10 credits with no credit card, a slide costs 10 credits, so the first slide of your video generates free and you can watch it in full; the rest unlocks on a paid plan. DistilBook accepts PDF, Word, images, plain text, a web article link, or a written prompt, and you approve the AI narration script before anything renders. Paid plans start at $20 per month for 230 credits, roughly 23 slides, which removes the watermark and unlocks MP4 export at up to 1440p. Narration is available in 20 languages, and the ai whiteboard animation generator output can carry your own logo and brand colors. Whiteboard and motion videos can be made in 16:9 landscape or in 9:16 vertical for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. Since April 2026, more than 1,400 people have made over 2,800 videos with DistilBook, most of them from PDFs.

How does it work?
Add your source
Upload a PDF or Word file, paste an article link, or just type what the video should explain. DistilBook reads it and plans one whiteboard scene per key idea.
Review the script
The AI writes narration for every scene and pauses so you can read it. Edit any line in place before a single frame is drawn, so no credits are wasted on a wrong script.
Generate the drawing and voice
Each scene is illustrated in a hand-drawn whiteboard style, then animated stroke by stroke in sync with the AI voiceover, exactly like a fast-forward artist at a whiteboard.
Brand it and export
Apply your logo and colors, then render an MP4 in 720p, 1080p, or 1440p, or share a web link directly.

Who is this for?
Educators and course creators
Turn lesson notes or a chapter into a whiteboard lecture students actually watch. The drawing effect keeps attention in a way slide decks never do.
Founders and marketers
Classic whiteboard explainers convert because they feel personal. Generate one from your landing page or pitch doc instead of paying an agency four figures.
YouTube creators
Publish faceless whiteboard videos on a schedule. One source document becomes a narrated video without cameras, microphones, or editing software.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from VideoScribe or Doodly?
VideoScribe and Doodly are manual editors: you pick images from a library and drag them onto a timeline yourself. DistilBook is generative. It writes the script, creates original hand-drawn scenes for your specific content, and syncs the narration automatically. There is no timeline to manage.
Do I need to be able to draw?
No. Every scene is illustrated by AI in a consistent hand-drawn style, and the draw-on animation is generated automatically from the artwork itself.
Can the whiteboard video use my own voice or language?
Both. On the Pro and Max plans you can clone your own voice on My Voices (about a minute of recording) and narrate with it; every plan can pick from AI voices across 20 languages, including English, Spanish, Hindi, Russian, and Greek. Narration text is fully editable before audio is generated.
How long can the video be?
Up to 12 slides per video, with roughly up to 2 minutes of narration per slide. Most whiteboard explainers land between 2 and 8 minutes total.
Is there a free version?
Yes. You can generate a video free and preview it in the browser. Rendering the final MP4 requires a paid plan, which starts at $20 per month.
How do I make a whiteboard animation without any animation skills?
You do not draw anything. Upload a document, paste text, or type a prompt, choose the whiteboard style, and DistilBook writes the narration, draws the artwork for each scene, and syncs the hand-drawn reveal to the voiceover. The only skill involved is reading the script it shows you before generating and fixing anything that drifted. The first slide of a whiteboard video is free with the 10 signup credits and plays about 6 minutes after you start.
How much do AI whiteboard animation tools cost per month?
DistilBook starts at $20 per month for 230 credits, about 23 whiteboard slides, then $50 for 650 credits and $100 for 1,340. Before paying, 10 free credits cover the first slide of a video with no card. Most whiteboard tools in this category sit between $15 and $50 a month, and the useful comparison is not the monthly price but what you get per finished minute of video, since some charge per export or per seat.
