DistilBook is the direct path from a PDF to a whiteboard animation: it reads the document, writes per-scene narration, draws original whiteboard artwork for each scene, and syncs the draw-on animation to the voiceover. A 10 page PDF becomes a 3 to 5 minute whiteboard video in roughly 25 minutes of generation time.

How does it work?
Upload your PDF
The document is parsed page by page, including OCR for scans, and condensed into a whiteboard-friendly outline of key ideas.
Check the story
You see the planned narration per scene before anything is drawn. Tighten a sentence or cut a scene with one click.
AI draws each scene
Scenes are illustrated in a consistent hand-drawn ink style, then animated as if sketched live, synced word by word to the narration.
Render in your brand
Add a logo and brand colors, render the MP4, and download or share the link.

Who is this for?
Teachers
Worksheets and study guides become whiteboard lessons. The progressive drawing holds attention through material students would skim on paper.
Internal comms
That policy update nobody reads becomes a 3 minute whiteboard video everyone finishes. Same PDF, entirely different completion rate.
Nonprofits and trainers
Whiteboard style feels human and low-budget-friendly while looking professionally produced. Ideal for grant-funded training material.
Frequently asked questions
Can I really convert a PDF straight into a whiteboard video?
Yes, in one flow. DistilBook was built document-first: upload the PDF, approve the script, and the whiteboard scenes are drawn and animated automatically. No storyboarding tool in between.
What does the whiteboard style look like?
Hand-drawn ink linework that draws itself onto the canvas in sync with the narration, with color washes revealed as each element completes. You can preview the style on a sample before committing credits.
How long does generation take?
About 2 minutes per slide for the whiteboard pipeline. The first slide is watchable while the rest are still generating.
Can I edit a scene I do not like?
Yes. Any single slide can be rerun, its image edited with AI instructions, or its narration rewritten, without regenerating the whole video.
