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.
Most videos are ready in under five minutes. Longer ones take longer.
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 was made by explain.ink from a topic, a script or a document. 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 video file with full commercial rights, for a client project, a course or a monetized channel. Videos you render before buying minutes carry a small explain.ink mark; every video you render after your first purchase comes out without it.
You choose the input and the style. explain.ink writes the script, draws the artwork and records the narration.
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.
No subscription. Buy minutes of video, keep them for a year, and spend them whenever you have something to explain. The bigger the pack, the cheaper the minute.
Most videos are ready in under five minutes. Longer ones take longer.
Writing a video costs nothing. Plan the scenes, see the length and the price, and decide before anything is drawn. Start one now
Every pack unlocks exactly the same things. A bigger one only makes the minute cheaper. Video counts are a bracket, not a promise: most explainers people make here run between 30 seconds and a minute, so a pack goes further with short ones. You are charged for the length you actually get, and never for a render that fails. Need less than a pack? A single minute is $5, which is also what you pay to top up when a video runs a few seconds past your balance.
Minutes last 12 months from the date of purchase and do not vanish if you stop buying.
Ninety seconds, drawn and narrated by explain.ink.
A topic, a script or a document. One line is enough: explain.ink turns it into a finished video, and if you supply a script your wording is kept exactly as written.
A video file with narration, drawn in the style you picked, ready to upload, embed or hand to a client.
No. You choose the input and the style; explain.ink writes the script, draws the artwork and records the narration.
You fix that frame instead of making the video again. Redraw it, or change the words on it, then rebuild the video.
Landscape for a website or YouTube, vertical for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, and square for a feed. Pick the shape before the video is made: it is drawn to fit, not cropped afterwards.
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, including client work, courses and monetized channels. Videos you render before buying minutes carry a small explain.ink mark; every video you render after your first purchase comes out without it.
Whiteboard and chalkboard suit almost any subject. Blueprint and minimal read as technical, comic as playful. There are many more on the styles page, with samples.
Educators and course authors, marketers explaining a product, and technical writers turning a document into something people will actually watch.
A topic, a script, or a file. Get a hand-drawn video back. That simple.
