Sales and marketing
A brand story without a shoot
A product origin, a customer win, or a why-we-built-this clip for a landing page or social feed. Paper Mache, Watercolor, or Almanac keep the look on-brand without booking a shoot.
Shorts
Illustrated Shorts for Brand Stories and Training
You can make a short illustrated story without a camera. A brand story for sales, a training scenario for L&D, or a one-idea clip for class. Jellypod writes the narration and draws every shot. These Shorts are illustrated and narrated, not live-action drama.
Start from an idea, a file, a link, or pasted text. Pick one of 16 styles (Almanac, Atomic Age, Blueprint, Chalkboard, Claymation, Crayon, Flat, Gouache, Paper Mache, Pixel Art, Retro Comics, Sketch, Stickman, Toy Bricks, Watercolor, and Whiteboard Explainer), then edit the narration, visuals, and voice. About 30 or 60 seconds, in 9:16, 16:9, or 1:1, with word-synced captions.
Who it's for
Brand stories, training scenarios, explainers
Shorts fit when you need a drawn, narrated clip and you do not have a camera crew. Marketers use them for brand stories, trainers for scenarios, and educators for one-idea explainers.
L&D and trainers
A scenario the team can replay
A role-play, a judgment call, or a first-day situation in about 30 or 60 seconds. Scenario-based training video without booking actors or a room.
Educators
One concept, one clip
A short explainer students can pause and replay. Whiteboard, Chalkboard, or Sketch for the picture; the host carries the lesson.
Reuse the same host and visual style across a series of Shorts if you want a recurring character. Each Short is still a standalone illustrated clip.
How it works
From idea to a finished Short
You never touch a camera, an editing timeline, or an image prompt. Generation runs in the background and takes a few minutes.
Start from an idea or a source
Tell Jellypod what the video is about, or attach a file, link, or pasted text as the source.
Pick a host and a style
Choose the voice that narrates and one of 16 visual styles. Almanac is the default.
Every shot matches the narration
Jellypod writes the narration, then generates the visuals shot by shot to match it, with word-synced captions and an optional instrumental score.
Want the narration in your own voice? Clone your voice and pick it as the host.
Visual styles
16 unique styles only on Jellypod
Pick a style before you generate. Jellypod handles the palette, composition, and treatment within it, so every shot stays consistent from first to last.

Layered cut-paper shapes and printed textures, with one strong focal point per shot.
Whiteboard Explainer
Dry-erase marker linework that draws in stroke by stroke on a clean whiteboard.
Chalkboard
White chalk drawings on near-black, with subtle stroke texture and handwritten captions.

White and cyan schematic drawings on deep blue with a subtle stationary grid.

Deliberately clumsy child-drawn wax-crayon pictures on a pure white canvas.

Warm picture-book scenes with bold rounded geometry and a navy, coral, and orange palette.

Flat mid-century scenes with cobalt skies, warm bone modernist forms, and burnt-orange accents.
