Psychology Explainer Video Maker
show the idea, not a stock photo

Trusted by teams, schools, and organizations around the world
DistilBook turns psychology material, a lecture, a chapter or your own self-help writing, into a narrated explainer with one illustrated scene per idea. You review the script before anything is drawn, so the wording stays yours. A short whiteboard video is ready in about 5 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 psychology 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
Can I make a series of self-help videos in the same style?
Yes. Pick the same style for each video and paste the same visual instructions, so every episode looks like part of one series.
Does it keep my wording?
The AI writes the narration from your material and pauses so you can edit every line before anything is drawn or voiced.
Is it suitable for therapy content?
It is built for education: explaining ideas, models and techniques. It does not give advice and does not replace a professional.
Is there a free trial?
Signup gives 10 credits with no card, enough for the first slide of your video. Paid plans start at $20 a month, or $14 a month billed yearly.
