Four steps from a sentence to a finished explainer video. Start from an idea, your own script, or a blank board.
Type what you want to explain and who it is for, or paste your own script or story. The AI writes the narration and splits it into scenes, so you start from a full storyboard instead of a blank page.
Each scene opens in a simple editor. Drag in doodles from the library, ask the AI to redraw one, write in handwriting fonts, add your own images, and set the timing of every drawing on the timeline.
Press play and a hand sketches every drawing and word stroke by stroke while the camera follows the story. Add an AI voiceover or record your own, and the captions and music line up with it.
Export an MP4 in landscape, vertical or square, ready for YouTube, Instagram Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn or WhatsApp. The video is made in your browser, and your projects stay in your account on the web and on Android.
Drawings, text and even photos are sketched stroke by stroke, then coloured in.
Zoom and pan to each drawing as it appears, like a presenter at a whiteboard.
Record or upload a voiceover, add music, then trim, fade and set levels on a timeline.
Describe a scene and the AI adds the drawings, text and timing. Redraw a picture or rewrite a scene whenever you like.

What people ask before their first whiteboard video.
Canimator is an AI whiteboard animation maker. Describe an idea or paste a script, and it writes the narration, plans the scenes, draws each one stroke by stroke with a hand, adds voiceover, captions and music, and exports a video ready for YouTube, Reels, TikTok or a slide. It works in the browser and in the Canimator Android app.
A whiteboard animation, also called a doodle or scribe video, is an explainer video in which a hand draws pictures and words on a white board while a narrator speaks. Because viewers watch each idea appear, it holds attention and makes complicated topics easier to follow, which is why it is popular for teaching, training and product explainers.
Type what you want to explain and who it is for, or paste your own script. Pick a length, a format and a voice, and Canimator writes the script, splits it into scenes and draws each one by hand. Then change any drawing, word or timing in the editor and export the video.
No. The AI makes the drawings and lines up the timing, and a hand animates every drawing, text and photo for you. You can still move, resize, redraw or replace anything on the timeline when you want to.
Yes. Paste your own script or story, or start from a blank board. Record or upload your own voiceover, add your own images and photos (they are sketched by hand too), and add music.
MP4 (H.264 with AAC sound), WebM or GIF, in 16:9 landscape, 9:16 vertical or 1:1 square, at 24, 30 or 60 frames per second. That covers YouTube, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and presentation slides.
A first draft of a short explainer is usually ready in about a minute. After that you can polish it for as long as you like: rewrite a scene, redraw a picture or change the voice.
You can sign up and make videos for free, with no credit card needed. AI features such as script writing, drawings and voiceover can use credits, and plans with more credits are available in the Canimator Android app.
Yes. Canimator runs in any modern browser on a computer, and there is a Canimator app for Android. One account works on both, so you can start a video on your phone and finish it on a laptop.
