Science Explainer Video Maker
from dense chapter to clear scenes
Turn a chapter, lab handout, or your own notes into an animated science explainer with narration and concept diagrams, one scene per idea.
- •Say who it is for and what they should be able to do after watching.
- •Name the two or three ideas the video must cover.
- •Mention an example or analogy you want used.

DistilBook reads your science material, splits it into one scene per concept, and generates original diagrams with synced narration. The first narrated slide plays in about 6 minutes, and a full 10 slide topic video finishes in about 15 to 25 minutes, in your choice of whiteboard or motion graphics styles.
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 science 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?
Add the science material
Upload a textbook chapter, lab handout, or paper as PDF or Word, or just type the topic, like photosynthesis or plate tectonics. DistilBook maps the concepts into a scene plan.
Check the explanation
The AI writes narration that builds from definition to mechanism to example. Review every line first, so a subtle scientific claim is never wrong in the final video.
Generate diagrams and voice
Each scene gets an original illustration, from cell structures to force arrows, drawn in your chosen style and revealed in sync with the narration.
Export for class or channel
Render MP4 at up to 1440p for lessons, LMS upload, or a science YouTube channel, or share the web link with students directly.
What do you get in every video?

What does it cost?
The first slide generates free with 10 signup credits. Paid plans are priced per slide, so a video costs a predictable amount.
| Plan | Price | Credits | What that makes | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 10 credits on signup | First slide generated, watermarked preview | No credit card |
| Basic | $20 / month | 230 credits / month | About 23 slides, 45 minutes of video | MP4 download, no watermark |

One slide costs 10 credits. Yearly plans are 30% cheaper. Full details on the pricing page.
Who is this for?
Science teachers
Turn next week's chapter into a short video that survives more than one reading of the textbook. Students rewatch a two minute animation far more willingly than a page.
Science communicators
Run a faceless science channel from summaries and papers. One well-chosen paper becomes a narrated video without After Effects or a recording booth.
Study creators and tutors
Package exam-topic explainers per syllabus point and share links with students. Regenerate in another language for multilingual groups in one click.
Frequently asked questions
Can a science explainer video maker draw accurate diagrams?
DistilBook generates original illustrations from your text, and you review the script before anything is drawn. For precision-critical figures you can also upload your own images and have the animation reveal them instead.
Which science topics work best?
Concept-driven topics shine: biology processes, physics mechanisms, chemistry reactions, earth science cycles. Heavy mathematical derivations work better as short steps across several slides than as one dense formula scene.
Can I make the video in another language?
Yes, narration is available in 20 languages, and you can regenerate the same scene plan in a second language for a parallel class or channel.
Is it free to try?
Signup grants 10 credits with no credit card, enough to generate the first slide free. The remaining slides and MP4 export use per-slide credits on plans from $20 per month.
