Whiteboard animation

A Lesson That Draws Itself

Jellypod turns a lesson into a narrated whiteboard video. Each sketch draws on, then holds.

A whiteboard sketch of a person with a question mark, a locked briefcase marked 500, and a crossed-out stack of cash.
Prompt: “Explain how to get a work expense approved and reimbursed.”

What Jellypod does for you

  • Characters stay the same

    A character who comes back keeps the same face and clothes in every scene.

  • The style is already set up

    Colors, motion, and captions come ready, so you only bring the topic.

  • Checked before you see it

    Jellypod watches the finished video and redoes any shot that breaks the style.

  • A new video every week

    Set a schedule, and Jellypod makes the next video in the same style and voice.

What to teach on a whiteboard

  • Workplace rules

    A few lines and an arrow show a rule faster than a paragraph.
  • Before and after

    Both sides of a comparison stay on one board.
  • Labeled diagrams

    Up to three short labels name the parts a viewer needs to tell apart.

Frequently asked questions

What is a whiteboard animation?
A narrated lesson. Each point is a dry-erase sketch on a white board that draws itself, then holds.
Does a hand draw on the board?
Each sketch appears stroke by stroke, then holds. The frame shows the finished marker lines. No hand, marker, or eraser enters the picture.
Can I start from slides?
Yes. Upload the deck and pick Whiteboard. Jellypod writes the narration from your slides.
Can I make an RSA Animate style video?
Yes. Each point is a marker sketch that draws itself, like RSA Animate.
Why not make it with ChatGPT or Claude myself?
You would need a script, voices, matching images, captions, and a render. Jellypod makes all five from one prompt and checks the result against the style.
How long can a whiteboard animation be?
Presets run 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, or 25 minutes, up to 15 minutes on Starter and Educator, 20 on Creator, and 25 on Business and Enterprise. A short runs 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Is there a free whiteboard animation?
Yes. Every new account starts on the Free plan with 500 credits. No credit card required. Paid plans include a 7-day free trial with 2,500 credits, and you can cancel anytime.
