From a sentence to a finished whiteboard video: script, storyboard, illustration, narration and stroke-by-stroke drawing, all generated.
Most whiteboard video tools generate nothing; they animate assets you place. This generator produces the script, the pictures and the timing. You supply the topic or the narration and choose the look. The output is a video, not a project file you still have to finish.
The narration is written first, sized to the length you chose. It is then split into boards, one idea each, and every board is illustrated as a single complete picture in the chosen style. Narration is synthesised with word-level timestamps, and the drawing engine traces each stroke so that the object being named appears as it is spoken.
For anything with parts, a temple layout, the twenty-eight lunar mansions, a food web, a factory floor, the generator can draw one large picture and reveal each element the moment the narration reaches it. The viewer watches the diagram being built in the order you would draw it on a board and ends with a finished image worth screenshotting.
The same script can be rendered in classic black marker, dry-erase colour, chalkboard, crayon, Sharpie, infographic, etching, editorial line, technical drawing or the creative style used for most samples on this site. The gallery shows one script rendered three ways so you can compare before choosing.
A short note box controls the look and the production: 'stick figures only', a brand palette in hex, a recurring hero, a bold number card at each point, a disclaimer card as the last board. Notes are read by both the script writer and the storyboarder, so they change what is drawn, not just how.
YouTube explainers and faceless channels, course platforms, onboarding and compliance training, product pages, classroom revision. Videos are MP4 files at 1200×800 (3:2), 1920×1080 (16:9) or 1080×1920 (vertical 9:16), with narration included and no watermark.
Type a topic in the box above, or paste a script and choose 'I have a script'. The first video each day is free.

Yes, and no. Every account can render 1 video a day, up to 2 minutes, in any style and any of 15 narration languages, and download it as an MP4. There is no watermark on the video. Free videos end with a 2-second StrokeVideo card; members' videos don't. No credit card is needed. When you want more than the free daily videos, a plan renews every month, quarter or year until you cancel, and the minutes it gives you never expire.
