Compliance training videos from policy documents
policy PDF in, narrated video out
Upload a policy, handbook or safety SOP. DistilBook writes the narration, waits for your approval, draws a visual for each rule, and gives you an MP4 for your LMS.
DistilBook turns a company policy PDF, an employee handbook or a safety SOP into a narrated compliance training video. The AI writes the script from the document and stops so compliance or legal can edit every line before anything is drawn. Each rule gets an original visual in a whiteboard or motion-graphics style, with no avatars and no stock footage, narrated in any of 20 languages. You download an MP4 at up to 1440p and upload it to any LMS. DistilBook does not make SCORM packages, quizzes or completion reports; your LMS does that.
What a compliance video from a document looks like
Which documents work
Company policy PDFs
Code of conduct, anti-harassment, data protection, expenses. Upload the PDF; each policy section becomes a narrated slide with its own drawn visual, so the rules are shown, not read out over stock footage.
Employee handbooks
Split a long handbook into short onboarding videos, one chapter each: first week, leave and time off, IT and security, how to raise a concern. Up to 10, 30 or unlimited pages per video depending on the plan.
Safety SOPs and manuals
Workplace safety procedures, lockout steps, PPE rules, incident reporting. The script keeps the exact steps, names and numbers from the SOP, and you check every line before anything is drawn.
Microlearning from any document
A 2 to 5 minute video per topic, generated from the pages that cover it. Regenerate the same topic in another of 20 narration languages for regional offices.
How it works
- 1
Upload the policy document
A PDF (scanned pages included), Word file, Markdown, plain text, images or a link. Pick a whiteboard or motion-graphics style from 19 options.
- 2
Check the script before it is drawn
The AI writes the narration and stops. Compliance and legal can edit every line, fix a wording, or add a visual instruction. Nothing is drawn or voiced until you approve it.
- 3
Generate the video
A short whiteboard video takes about 5 minutes; a 10 slide video about 15 to 25 minutes. Each concept gets its own drawn visual with highlights timed to the narration.

Brand it and put it in your LMS
Add your logo and brand colours (paid plans), then download an MP4 at 720p, 1080p or 1440p with subtitles and upload it to Moodle, Cornerstone, Workday Learning, SAP SuccessFactors, Docebo or any LMS or authoring tool.
What DistilBook does not do
Said plainly, because it decides whether this is the right tool for a tracked compliance programme.
No SCORM or xAPI package
DistilBook exports MP4 and shareable links only. Completion, scoring and certificates stay in your LMS, where that tracking already lives.
No quizzes or branching
The video is the lesson. Put the knowledge check in your LMS or authoring tool (Articulate, iSpring, Moodle) after the video.
No automatic re-sync with the source
When a policy changes, upload the new version and regenerate the affected video. Reusing the same style and brand kit keeps the set consistent; a short video is ready in minutes.
Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a company policy PDF into a compliance training video with AI?
Upload the PDF to DistilBook, choose a style, review the narration script the AI writes, then generate. Each section of the policy becomes a narrated slide with a drawn visual. Download the MP4 and upload it to your LMS. The first slide generates free with the 10 credits every signup gets.
Can I make compliance videos from an employee handbook or an SOP?
Yes. Handbooks, standard operating procedures, safety manuals and policy documents are the most common inputs. For a long handbook, make one short video per chapter so each one stays under about 5 minutes.
Does DistilBook export SCORM, or track completion?
No. DistilBook exports MP4 files and shareable links. There is no SCORM or xAPI package, no quiz, no completion tracking and no viewer analytics. Host the MP4 in your LMS and let the LMS record completion. If compliance requires a tracked, scored module inside one tool, an LMS-first product such as Colossyan fits better.
Does it update the video automatically when the policy changes?
No. Upload the revised document and regenerate the affected video, or edit a single slide's artwork in the editor. There is no live link between the video and the source file.
Can I make the same compliance video in several languages?
Yes. Narration is available in 20 languages, including German, French, Spanish, Polish and Hungarian. The script is written in that language rather than translated word for word, so regenerate the same document per language.
Does it use AI avatars or stock footage?
No. Every slide gets an original drawn visual for the idea being explained, in a whiteboard or motion-graphics style. There are no presenter avatars and no stock clips.
What does it cost for an HR or L&D team?
10 free credits at signup, no card, which makes the first slide. Paid plans start at $20 a month, or $14 a month billed yearly, for 230 credits (about 23 slides). Logo and brand colours, MP4 download and no watermark are on every paid plan. Full refund within the first 3 days.
