Whiteboard Video Maker

Whiteboard Video Maker is a free, browser- and mobile-based application for creating hand-drawn whiteboard-style animation videos. You draw shapes, text, and images with sketch-style strokes, arrange them on a layered timeline, optionally add narration, and export the result as a WebM video or animated GIF — entirely in the browser, with no subscription and no watermark.

The live app is at wbamai.aoneahsan.com. These docs explain what it does, how to use it, and where its limits are.

Who it is for

  • Teachers and trainers building explainer content
  • YouTube / TikTok creators producing educational shorts
  • Marketers making product walkthroughs
  • Students animating concepts for assignments
  • Hobbyists experimenting with hand-drawn motion design

How it works, in one minute

  1. Open the editor and pick a board style (whiteboard, blackboard, glassboard, or greenscreen).
  2. Add elements with the drawing tools — pen, shapes, arrows, text, and images.
  3. Arrange them on the timeline and tune per-element keyframes and draw order.
  4. Optionally add narration (text-to-speech or your own recording) and audio.
  5. Export to WebM or GIF — the render happens in your browser.

Honest limits

So you know what to expect before you start:

  • Export is WebM and animated GIF, not MP4. WebM plays in every modern browser and on most platforms; if you specifically need MP4 you would convert the WebM afterward with a separate tool.
  • Rendering uses your device. Long, high-resolution projects take longer to encode on slower machines because there is no cloud render farm — that is the trade-off for being free and private.
  • Text-to-speech voices come from your browser/OS. Available voices and quality vary by platform.
  • Saving and cross-device sync require signing in. Signed-out work lives only in the current session.
