DistilBook turns a chemistry chapter, lab notes or a typed topic into a narrated explainer with one scene per step, so a mechanism or a titration plays out in order. You check the script before anything is drawn. The first slide is ready in about 4 to 6 minutes, and a 10 slide video 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 chemistry explainer video maker 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.

Frequently asked questions
Will chemical formulas be drawn exactly?
Write formulas and names exactly in the narration, which is read out as written. Illustrations explain the idea; for an exact textbook figure, upload the image and the video uses it.
Can it explain a reaction mechanism?
Yes. Mechanisms suit the format well: one scene per step, with the narration walking through what changes and why.
Which style fits chemistry?
Hand-drawn whiteboard feels like a classroom board; notebook sketch and flat vector work for revision channels.
Is there a free trial?
Signup gives 10 credits with no card, enough for the first slide. Paid plans start at $20 a month, or $14 a month billed yearly.
