How to start
Paste text or type a topic and get a hand-drawn, narrated video back. explain.ink writes the story, draws every scene stroke by stroke and records it.
Create your first video
Start with a sentence or a page. explain.ink reads it, works out the order the idea should be explained in, writes the narration and draws each scene stroke by stroke in the style you picked.
A topic such as "how compound interest works". A paragraph from your notes. An outline with bullets. A finished article. Short input gets expanded into a story with a beginning and an end. Long input gets cut down to what a viewer can actually follow.
An MP4 with narration, no watermark, drawn in the style you chose. Every scene is drawn in that same style, so the video reads as one hand rather than a set of clips.
Text mode writes the script for you. When you want your own wording kept exactly as it is, use script to video instead. When the content lives in a file, use document to video.
Upload the doc nobody reads and get the same content as a short video.
Reports, manuals and exported decks, turned into a narrated drawn video.
Paste a finished script. Your wording is kept, the drawing follows it.
Every stroke drawn on screen, from your topic, script or document.
Pick the look the video is drawn in, from whiteboard marker to sumi-e ink.
One line is enough. A topic such as how compound interest works is expanded into a full story, while a long article is cut down to what a viewer can actually follow.
Use script to video instead. Text mode writes the script for you; script mode keeps your sentences as written and draws them line by line.
An MP4 with narration and no watermark, drawn in the style you chose, ready to upload, embed or drop into a course platform.
Whiteboard and chalkboard suit almost any subject. Blueprint and minimal read technical, comic reads playful. All 18 are on the styles page with samples.
Yes, because the drawings are generated for your specific script rather than picked from an asset library, so an unusual subject does not fall back on generic clipart.
