AI whiteboard video generator
Type an idea, get a narrated whiteboard video.
KolaVid is an AI whiteboard video generator. Describe what you want explained, paste a script, or upload a document or a link, and it writes the narration, draws each idea on a whiteboard and reveals every drawing as the narrator says it. Nothing to draw, no timeline, no voice to record.
How to generate a whiteboard video
- Sign up free and open the composer.
- Describe what you want explained and who it is for, paste your script, or upload a PDF, Word or PowerPoint file or a web link.
- Choose a frame (16:9, 9:16 or 1:1), a length of 1, 2, 3 or 5 minutes, and a female or male voice in the narration language you want.
- KolaVid writes, draws and narrates, one idea a board. It is usually ready in a few minutes, and you can watch it being drawn.
- Download the MP4 or share a link.

What makes a whiteboard video work
A whiteboard video works because the picture and the words arrive together: you hear an idea at the moment you see it drawn. KolaVid keeps to that. Each board holds one idea, the drawings are plain, and every word on the board is a word the narrator says, written as it is said.
Tips: writing a prompt that makes a good video
- Say the topic and the viewer. "How a mortgage works, for first-time buyers" gives a clearer video than "mortgages".
- Name the one thing they should remember. A video built around one takeaway is easier to follow than a tour of everything.
- Ask a question when you can. "Why do bicycle brakes stop a wheel?" leads to an explanation; "bicycle brakes" can lead to a list.
- Match the length to the idea. One idea fits in 1 to 2 minutes; a process with steps fits in 3; 5 minutes is the longest video.
- Have a script already? Paste it and it is narrated word for word, with drawings to match. The script length calculator tells you how many words fit each length.
- Pick the frame for where it will play: 16:9 for YouTube, slides and course pages; 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and WhatsApp Status; 1:1 for feeds.
- Name real brands when they matter. Brands named in a video are drawn with their own logo.
- Give the order when it matters. "Start with the problem, then the three steps, then the result" shapes the boards the way you would draw them yourself.
- Set the level. "No jargon", "for engineers" or "for ten-year-olds" changes the words and the examples.
- Make a series rather than one long video. Three 2-minute videos on three questions are easier to share and to finish than one 6-minute video.
- Keep the numbers few and right. A short video can make two or three figures stick; check them in your prompt.
- Watch the finished video once before sharing it. If something is off, change the prompt and make it again.
- Keep the idea concrete. "How a vaccine trains the immune system, with one example" gives drawings people can picture; "immunology overview" gives a list of words.
- Start from your own material when you have it. A PDF, a deck or a page of notes keeps the video to your facts and your terms.
What people make with it
Lesson videos for class and homework, training and onboarding videos, product explainers, YouTube explainers and short social posts. Anything you would explain with a marker and a board works as a KolaVid video.
