Two ways to make a whiteboard video free
1. The Free Studio — 5 videos every day. You write what each scene says and choose a picture for it: upload your own (a photo, diagram or screenshot) or search millions of free stock photos right inside the editor. We draw every picture with a drawing hand, sync it to a natural free voiceover and export an MP4.
2. One free AI video. Prefer AI to do everything? Give it a prompt, a PDF, a Word document or a link, and it writes the script, draws the illustrations and narrates a 1-minute whiteboard video for you — free, once.
Most people start with the AI video to see what's possible, then keep creating in the Studio every day.
How the Free Studio works
- Write your scenes. One or two sentences per scene — that's what the voice will say.
- Add a picture to each scene. Upload your own, or pick a free stock photo (search “solar panel”, “teacher”, “city at night”…).
- Choose a voice and a shape. 14 free voices in 8 languages; 16:9 for YouTube or 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.
- Create the video. Each picture is drawn by hand on screen, then revealed in full, in time with the narration. Download the MP4.

What's free — and the honest limits
- 5 videos every day, refreshed daily — log in whenever you have an idea.
- Up to 5 minutes per video (about 750 words of script).
- 720p with a small watermark.
- Kept for 7 days — download your video; we email you before it's deleted.
- Private — your uploads and Studio videos are never shown publicly.
Need HD, no watermark, or to keep a video forever? Use the 1-credit “keep forever” add-on on a single video, or any paid plan for all of them.

When paying makes sense
The free tools are enough for lessons, social posts and quick explainers. Upgrade when you want AI to do the work — scripts, illustrations and premium human-like voices from just a prompt, PDF or link — or when you need HD videos with no watermark that stay in your library forever. Plans start at $9.99 a month, and one-off credit packs are available if you don't want a subscription. See pricing.
