What DistilBook is
DistilBook is a web-based tool for turning scripts and PDFs into videos. It combines script-to-video and AI scene generation with text-to-speech voiceovers, subtitles, drawing animation, and scene templates. It supports 19 voiceover languages, a brand kit, commercial use, and 1080p exports. It does not offer AI presenters or a character library. Signup provides 10 credits once, enough for the first slide; this option limits videos to 60 seconds and PDFs to 10 pages, adds a watermark, and does not allow MP4 downloads. The Basic plan costs $15 per month and includes 170 monthly credits, about 17 slides, with motion videos up to four minutes and 10-page PDF uploads. Pro costs $35 per month, with 450 credits, about 45 slides, six-minute videos, and 30-page PDFs. Max costs $75 per month, with 1,000 credits, about 100 slides, videos up to 10 minutes, and no PDF page limit. Paid plans are billed monthly. The pricing note also lists a yearly-billing price of $7 per month.
