What WhiteboardAnimation.ai is

WhiteboardAnimation.ai turns an uploaded illustration into a clip that appears to be drawn in strokes, sketching first and adding color afterward. It is designed for creators and educators working with illustrations, diagrams or flat artwork. Uploads can be PNG, JPEG or WebP files up to 10 MB; users can choose whether to show a hand holding the pen and set the video pace. Exports are MP4 or WebM in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 formats. Pro export supports transparent backgrounds and separate layers at 1080p, which can be placed over footage in Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci or CapCut. The product runs in a desktop browser, with Chrome, Edge and Safari named, and requires no installation. Phones can play clips, but saving videos currently requires a desktop. Early access is free, requires no card and includes unlimited drawings without a watermark. The site says uploaded pictures remain in the user's studio until deleted and are visible only to that user. Its API is available with Pro and uses the same credits as Studio; Claude Code, Codex and Cursor can process pictures through it.
