What is a sketch video?

A sketch video — closely related to whiteboard and doodle animation — shows hand-sketched drawings appearing on screen as a voiceover explains the idea. The sketched, in-progress look feels human and handmade, and the drawing motion keeps viewers watching. It suits storytelling, education and any message that benefits from a personal touch.

The sketch style sits between the clean whiteboard look and the playful doodle look, with an artistic, hand-crafted feel.

Sketches generated for you

Whiteboard Video does the sketching. Provide a prompt, a script, a URL, a PDF or a Word document and the AI writes the script, generates hand-sketched illustrations for each scene, animates them being drawn and narrates the video.

You never pick up a pencil. Swap any sketch, rewrite any line, change the voice, and re-render in minutes.

Why sketch videos connect

There is something disarming about watching a drawing take shape. It feels like a person sharing an idea rather than a brand broadcasting a message, which builds trust and holds attention. For explainers, courses and social storytelling, that human quality converts.

It is also affordable and quick to update — the hallmarks of the hand-drawn family of styles.

What to create

Sketch videos work for explainers, lessons, brand stories, social clips and pitches. Because AI does the drawing, anyone can produce the handmade look on demand.
