Whiteboard Studio

Explainers your audience watches to the end — drawn by hand.

Type a topic, paste a script or upload a PDF, and Whiteboard Studio plans every scene, narrates it in the voice and language you choose, and draws it stroke by stroke — a realistic hand, pen-on-board sound, clean icons and diagrams, even your own logo traced and drawn live. Review and edit the full storyboard before the render if you want total control.

  • Topic, script or PDF → hand-drawn video
  • Real hand, pen sounds, music & captions
  • 100+ narration languages, including Urdu
  • Optional: edit the storyboard before rendering

Start anywhere

A topic, your script, or a whole document.

Describe what you want explained and the AI writes the narration and plans every board. Have exact wording? Paste your script. Teaching from material you already have? Upload a PDF and Whiteboard Studio turns it into a lesson. Eight professional boards — classic whiteboard, chalkboard, green schoolboard, glass, blueprint, grid paper, notebook and parchment — with custom pen colors and styles.

  • Topic mode: AI writes a structured, hook-first narration
  • Script mode: your words, spoken and drawn exactly
  • Document mode: PDF → narrated lesson (file never stored)
  • 8 board styles, 4 pen styles, custom ink and accent colors

Believably hand-made

A real hand. Real pen sounds. Your real logo.

Every element is drawn stroke by stroke by an animated hand holding the marker, with subtle pen-on-board scratching synced to the drawing and background music ducked under the narration. Upload your logo or a diagram and it is traced into pen strokes — the hand literally draws your brand in the intro or outro. Icons come from a curated hand-drawn library, so boards look professional, never scribbled.

  • Animated hand-holding-pen with synced pen-scratch sound
  • “Draw my image”: your logo/diagram traced and drawn live — free
  • 69 curated icons + AI sketches, formulas and charts
  • Background music library with automatic voice ducking

You stay in control

Review and edit every scene before you pay for the render.

Turn on storyboard review and Whiteboard Studio splits the job in two: a storyboard fee plans every scene for your approval, and the render fee is only charged when you press go. Drag anything to reposition it, rewrite text, swap icons, edit the narration line by line, or ask the AI to redraw a scene for 2 credits. The total price is identical to the one-click flow.

  • Optional two-step billing: storyboard first, render on approval
  • Full editor: drag, rewrite, swap icons, add or delete elements
  • AI scene redraw with your instructions — 2 credits per scene
  • One-click flow stays the default: type a topic, get a video

FAQ

Asked, answered.

Do I need to know how to draw or animate?+

No. Type a topic and the AI plans every board, writes the narration and draws the whole video. Templates give you one-tap starting points, and everything stays editable if you want to fine-tune.

Can it really draw my logo?+

Yes. Upload a PNG, JPG or WebP of your logo or diagram and it is traced into pen strokes — you see a preview of exactly what will be drawn, then the hand draws it in your intro, outro or both. The upload itself is never stored, and tracing is free.

Which languages work?+

Narration works in 100+ languages, and the board renders native scripts correctly — including Urdu in Nastaliq style, Hindi, Arabic, Bengali and Pakistani regional languages. Captions follow the narration language.

What does it cost?+

Videos are 30 credits per minute at 720p (15 credits per 30 seconds), ×1.2 at 1080p, and an optional talking presenter adds 15 credits per minute. Credits are shared across all VidGen studios and 1 credit ≈ Rs. 1. Failed generations are refunded automatically.

What is storyboard review?+

An optional two-step flow. The storyboard fee (20 credits/min) plans every scene for you to review and edit — drag elements, rewrite text, swap icons, redraw scenes with AI for 2 credits each. The render fee (10 credits/min plus quality extras) is only charged when you approve. The total equals the one-click price.

How long can a whiteboard video be?+

From 15 seconds up to 60 full minutes in a single video — long enough for complete lessons and lectures. Long videos are planned scene by scene, so quality stays consistent throughout.

Can I add a talking presenter?+

Yes — pick any avatar in your account and it appears as a talking head in a corner bubble or a split-screen “teacher at the board” layout, lip-synced to the narration, for +15 credits per minute.

Is there a vertical format for Shorts and Reels?+

Yes. The Shorts preset switches to 9:16 with a hook-first opening scene, stacked vertical layouts and big centered captions — tuned for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok.
