DistilBook turns a written script into a narrated video: paste the script, choose a visual style, and it generates an animated scene for each beat and narrates the words you wrote. Because you supplied the script, the AI is illustrating rather than authoring, so the wording stays yours. A 400 word script becomes roughly a 4 slide video, and the first narrated slide plays about 3 minutes after you start.
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 script to video output can carry your own logo and brand colors.

What do the videos look like?
Untouched DistilBook output. Press play on any of them.
How does it work?
Paste your script
Plain text is fine. Break it into paragraphs where you want the scene to change, because paragraph breaks become slide breaks.
Choose the look
Whiteboard or one of 14 motion-graphics styles, with your brand colors and logo applied throughout.
Check the split, not the writing
This is the one page where the review step is about pacing rather than wording. Your script is kept as written; you are confirming where the scenes break.
Render
About 30 seconds per slide. Share the link or download the MP4 on a paid plan.

Generating and previewing is free. Paid plans are priced per slide, so a video costs a predictable amount.

Who is this for?
Writers and creators
You have the script and want the visuals, without learning an editor or hiring one.
Agencies
Client-approved copy stays exactly as approved, which matters when the wording went through review.
Course creators
Lesson scripts become consistent modules across a whole course.
Frequently asked questions
Will it change my script?
No. When you supply a script, DistilBook narrates your words and generates scenes to match. It only rewrites when you ask it to, which is the opposite of the document flow where the AI authors the script for you.
How long a script can I paste?
Length maps to slides: roughly 100 words per slide, and a slide costs 10 credits. A 400 word script is about 4 slides. The free 30 credits cover about 300 words.
How do I control where scenes change?
Use paragraph breaks. Each paragraph becomes a scene, so breaking the script the way you want it paced is the control.
Can I use my own voice recording?
Not today. Narration uses AI voices in 20 or more languages. You can choose the voice and language before generating.
Is script to video free?
Signup grants 30 credits with no credit card, enough for a complete 3 slide video. Paid plans start at $15 per month for 170 credits.
What if I do not have a script?
Then start from a document or a prompt instead and let DistilBook write the first draft, which you then edit. That flow is on our document to video and explainer video pages.
