What does the output actually look like?
Every video below started as one line of text. Nothing was edited or drawn by hand afterwards.
Give explain.ink a line, a script, or a document, and it draws the whole thing in minutes.
Draw your first videoChalkboard or whiteboard. Voiceover included. Download the mp4.
Whichever one you already have. The other two are still there when the next video needs them.
One line is enough. explain.ink writes the script and shapes the story before it draws anything.
Already written? Your wording is kept as it is, and each line gets its own drawn scene.
Upload the doc nobody reads. It comes back as the three or four things a viewer needs.
Working from a PDF? See PDF to video. Want the classic marker look? See whiteboard animation.
Every video below started as one line of text. Nothing was edited or drawn by hand afterwards.
Bring an idea, your own words, or a file you already have. Inky takes it from there.
One line is enough. We write the script and shape the story.
Already have the words? We draw them verbatim, line for line.
Drop a PDF, DOCX, or link. We read it, summarize, and draw it.
Four things that decide whether a video like this is worth making at all.
Scenes appear stroke by stroke, generated for your script rather than assembled from an asset library, so an unusual subject still gets its own artwork.
The style is a setting applied to the whole video, so scene twelve matches scene one and a series looks like a series.
The voiceover is recorded to match the script, so there is no separate recording session and no timing to fix afterwards.
You get a 16:9 MP4 with no watermark and full commercial rights, for a client project, a course or a monetized channel.
You choose the input and the style. The script, the artwork and the narration are produced for you.
Writing is the work. Once a script is ready the video follows the same day, which is what usually breaks a weekly rhythm.
Pick a look and every scene follows it, from a messy whiteboard to watercolor. Or upload your own reference.
Same idea every time: something has to be explained to someone who is not in the room.
Turn a lesson or your own notes into a short drawn video students can rewatch.
Forty lessons that look like they belong together, without hiring an animator.
Landing page, paid social and sales follow-up video, drawn instead of stock.
The onboarding doc nobody reads, as a three minute drawn video.
Safety, compliance and process training, made from the SOP you already wrote.
A video a week in one recognizable look, without an editor.
Every plan is a pool of video minutes. They are yours to keep, even after you cancel.
You pay for the length of the video you get. A typical explainer runs about 90 seconds, so it costs a minute and a half. You are charged only when the video renders, never for a failed one. And your minutes do not vanish when a plan ends: they roll over and stay yours for 12 months from purchase, even if you cancel.
* Minutes last 12 months from the date of purchase.
A topic, a script or a document. One line is enough: explain.ink writes the story from there, and if you supply a script your wording is kept exactly as written.
A 16:9 MP4 with narration and no watermark, drawn in the style you picked, ready to upload, embed or hand to a client.
No. You choose the input and the style; the script, the artwork and the narration are produced for you.
Up to five minutes. Most explainers work best between one and three, because that is how long a single idea holds attention.
Yes. The file comes with full commercial rights and no watermark, including client work, courses and monetized channels.
Whiteboard and chalkboard suit almost any subject. Blueprint and minimal read technical, comic reads playful. All 18 are on the styles page with samples.
A topic, a script, or a file. Get a hand-drawn video back. That simple.
