DistilBook is a SaaS explainer video maker that works from the material you already have: a homepage URL, release notes, a feature doc, or a plain prompt. It writes a per-slide script, pauses for your review, then generates original artwork, voiceover, and synced animation. The first narrated slide plays in about 6 minutes, and a typical 8 slide product explainer 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 saas 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.

How does it work?
Point it at your product
Paste your homepage or docs URL, or upload the feature brief. DistilBook reads the value proposition and plans one scene per selling point, so the video follows your positioning instead of a generic template.
Approve the message
The AI drafts narration for every scene and stops for your review. Fix a claim, rename a feature, or tighten the hook before any rendering happens. Marketing keeps final say over every word.
Generate on brand
Apply your logo and brand colors once, then every slide is drawn to match. Choose a clean motion graphics preset for product pages or a hand-drawn style for a friendlier onboarding tone.
Ship it everywhere
Export MP4 in 720p, 1080p, or 1440p for your homepage, app onboarding, and sales decks, or send the shareable web link straight to a prospect.

Who is this for?
Founders and product teams
Every release deserves a video, but agencies quote four figures and three weeks. Regenerate the explainer from the updated changelog the same afternoon the feature ships.
Marketing teams
Keep one consistent product story across the homepage, campaigns, and webinars. Because the script is reviewed before generation, positioning never drifts from the approved messaging.
Sales and customer success
Send a two minute explainer instead of booking a first call. Onboarding videos made from your help docs cut the same questions arriving in support tickets.
Frequently asked questions
How does a SaaS explainer video maker turn a URL into a video?
DistilBook fetches the page, extracts the product story from your copy, and plans one slide per key point. You see the resulting script before generation, so a wrong emphasis is a ten second edit rather than a re-render.
Can the explainer match our brand?
Yes. Save your logo and brand colors once and every slide is generated with them. Teams on paid plans can also lock a preferred style preset so every product video across the company looks related.
What does a SaaS explainer video cost with DistilBook?
The first slide generates free with 10 signup credits and no card. The rest uses per-slide credits on plans from $20 per month, so a typical 8 slide explainer has a predictable cost of a few dollars rather than an agency quote of $3,000 or more.
How do we update the video when the product changes?
Run the maker again with the new changelog or updated page, reuse the approved tone, and regenerate only what changed. Keeping demos current is the whole reason to generate rather than film.
Is this a screen recording tool?
No. DistilBook generates illustrated explainer slides from your written material rather than capturing your screen. Use it when you want a polished narrative video, not a raw walkthrough recording.
