Long-form style · 16:9 or 9:16

Whiteboard animation videos, made from a sentence

A hand sketches each picture in black pen on a white board while the narrator explains it, and colour washes in behind the lines. It is the classic explainer look: every sentence of your script gets something drawn for it, in time with the voice.

How this style works

  • Every sentence becomes a drawing - an object or a small scene - sketched on the board as it is said.
  • You choose how full a page is: two drawings, four, or one full scene.
  • Captions in 16 languages or none, wide for YouTube or tall for Shorts.

What you give it

  • A topic in one line - the script is written for you
  • Or your own script, kept word for word
  • Or your own voice recording, and the drawings are cut to it

Best for

  • Explainers
  • Education
  • Money & business
  • Step-by-step lessons

A story about real people and real events is better told with real footage: see the Documentary style. Documentary

From a line of text to a Whiteboard Animation video

  1. 1

    Choose a style

    Pick how the video should look: a hand-drawn whiteboard, a real-footage documentary, an AI presenter, a vertical short. Every style shows a sample before you choose it.

  2. 2

    Say what it is about

    One line is enough - the script is written for you. Or paste your own script, upload your own voice recording, or bring your own footage or links, depending on the style.

  3. 3

    Check the script and the credits

    Read the script, change any line, pick the language and the narrator. You see exactly what the video takes before anything is made.

  4. 4

    Get your video

    VidGenius narrates, draws or finds every picture, adds captions and edits the video. Swap anything you do not like, render, and download a 1080p MP4.

Whiteboard Animation: questions

Do I need to draw anything?

No. Every picture is drawn for you from your script. If one is not right, you can have it drawn again before the video is rendered.

Can the whiteboard video be vertical?

Yes. Choose 9:16 on the form and the same style is made tall, for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.

Can I use my own script?

Yes. Paste it and it is kept word for word; nothing is rewritten.

How long does it take to make?

Minutes for most videos. A two-minute video is ready in about five minutes; longer videos, and formats that search for real footage, take longer.

What do I download?

A 1080p MP4, ready to upload. Download it to keep it: the studio holds a finished video for a few days, depending on your plan.
