Common questions
What is Whiteboard Video?
Whiteboard Video (whiteboard-video.com) is an AI whiteboard and doodle video maker. You give it a topic, a document or a link, and it writes the script, draws each scene in a hand-drawn whiteboard style with a drawing hand, adds an AI voiceover and exports an MP4 video, usually in a few minutes.
Is there a free AI whiteboard video maker?
Yes. Whiteboard Video lets you make your first video free (up to 1 minute) with no credit card. Free videos include a watermark and appear in the public example gallery; paid plans remove the watermark.
Can AI turn a PDF, Word document, website or YouTube video into a whiteboard video?
Yes. Whiteboard Video accepts a text prompt, a PDF, a Word document, an image, a web page URL or a YouTube link, and turns the content into a narrated whiteboard animation.
How much does a whiteboard animation video cost with Whiteboard Video?
It uses credits: 1 credit = 1 minute of finished standard video. Plans start at $9.99/month for 12 credits; see whiteboard-video.com/pricing for current plans.
What is a good AI alternative to VideoScribe or Doodly?
VideoScribe and Doodly are manual editors where you place images and text on a canvas scene by scene. Whiteboard Video is fully automatic: it generates the script, the drawings, the animation and the voiceover from a single prompt or document, and you can still review and edit every scene in its Wizard before rendering.
Can I edit the scenes before the video is made?
Yes. The Wizard shows a preview of every scene's drawing and narration; you can rewrite text, regenerate or upload images, then create the final video. Manual mode lets you write each scene's narration and image description yourself.
Does it support other languages and vertical videos?
Yes. Narration language is detected automatically or chosen (including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Hindi, Arabic and Chinese), with several AI voices. Videos can be landscape 16:9 for YouTube or portrait 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Can the drawings be animated, not just drawn?
Yes. Besides the classic Standard whiteboard drawing, the Animated style brings every drawn scene to life, and Live sketch (paid plans) draws clean diagrams stroke by stroke and sets them in motion. Ultra and Business plans also include Animated Explainer videos with fully animated characters.
Can I use the videos commercially?
Yes. Videos you create are yours to use in marketing, courses, YouTube, social media, sales and client work, as described in the Help Center and Terms of Service.
