DistilBook makes whiteboard animation free to try: 30 credits on signup with no credit card, and since a slide costs 10 credits that is a complete 3 slide hand-drawn video with narration. Unlike manual whiteboard editors, there is no clip-art library to assemble, so the free run costs you minutes rather than an afternoon. Every scene is drawn for your specific content, so two people covering the same topic do not end up with the same drawings.
You start free: signing up gives you 30 credits with no credit card, a slide costs 10 credits, so that is a complete 3 slide narrated video you can watch end to end. 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 $15 per month for 170 credits, roughly 17 slides, which removes the watermark and unlocks MP4 export at up to 1440p. Narration is available in 20 or more languages, and the free whiteboard animation maker output can carry your own logo and brand colors.

Give it a topic or a document
A prompt is enough if you have nothing written. A PDF or Word file works too.

Frequently asked questions
Is the whiteboard animation really free?
Signing up grants 30 credits with no credit card. A slide costs 10 credits, so that is a complete 3 slide narrated video, around 1.5 minutes, that you can watch in full. Removing the watermark and downloading the MP4 starts at $15 per month for 170 credits.
Does the free version watermark the hand-drawn video?
Yes. The free render plays in full in the browser with a watermark. This is normal across the category, because rendering is the expensive part, which is why almost every tool gates the export rather than the editor.
How is this different from a free trial of VideoScribe or Doodly?
A trial gives you the full product briefly and then stops. Our 30 credits do not expire on a countdown, and the work is generation rather than manual assembly, so what you spend is minutes rather than an afternoon on a canvas.
Do I get original drawings on the free tier?
Yes. Scenes are generated for your content on every plan, free included. There is no shared clip-art library, so your video does not contain the same drawings as a competitor's.
What happens when the 30 credits run out?
You can still sign in and view what you made. Generating more needs a plan, from $15 per month for 170 credits, about 17 slides.
Can I use the free video commercially?
The free render carries a watermark, so it is meant for evaluation. Clean commercial export starts on the paid plans.
