Free Explainer Video Maker — Script to Animated Video

Yes. Open the Motion panel to add any SketchValley animated illustration — API requests, databases, secure login, cloud sync, AI chatbots, charts and more. They play inside your video in your brand colour, and you can change the colour or outline in the right panel. Free, with no watermark.

It does the job people usually want AI for — paste a script and it is split into scenes, timed to the narration, laid out and animated automatically — but it works with clear, predictable rules instead of a paid AI model. That means no credits, no waiting in a queue and no surprises: you see and edit every scene. If you want an AI voice, record or generate your voiceover elsewhere and upload it.

Yes — this one. Open it, paste a script or pick a template, and export. There is no account, no watermark, no trial and no export limit.

Right here: start from a Product Explainer, Feature Explainer, SaaS Demo, Corporate Explainer or Social Video structure, or add single scene templates — problem statement, product UI, features, statistics, process, before/after, testimonial and call to action. Every template is fully editable.

Calm, steady music without vocals — soft electronic, ambient or light acoustic at 90–120 BPM. Keep it around 20–30% of the voiceover level while someone is talking. This tool can generate a royalty-free ambient track for you, and it lowers the music automatically under your voiceover (ducking).

Yes. There is no account, no watermark and no export limit. Everything runs in your browser, so there is nothing for us to charge for — no servers render your video.

No. Your storyboard, logo, screenshots, video clips, music and voiceover stay on your device. Projects are saved in your browser’s local storage, and you can download a project file as a backup. We only count anonymous usage — for example that a 1080p MP4 was exported — never your content, text or files.

Yes. Paste or upload a storyboard as text, Markdown or CSV and the scenes, durations, narration, visuals, animation notes and transitions are detected automatically. You review the structure before the video is built. For PowerPoint, PDF or Word storyboards, copy the text and paste it in.

Yes. Paste your script and it is split into short scenes, each timed by how long it takes to narrate. You can set a target length — 30, 60, 90 seconds or 2 minutes — and every scene is scaled to fit.

MP4 and WebM in 720p, 1080p or 4K at 24, 25, 30 or 60 fps, plus PNG stills. In Chrome and Edge the export is rendered frame by frame, faster than real time. If your browser can’t export a format, the tool tells you and offers the one that works. You can also tick several aspect ratios — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 — and get every version from one export.

Yes. Upload MP3, WAV or M4A, or record a voiceover with your microphone. Music fades in and out, loops, and automatically gets quieter while the voiceover plays (ducking).

Yes. Upload MP4, MOV or WebM — a screen recording, product demo or any clip. It appears inside a realistic Chrome browser window (or a minimal bar, or no frame). Double-click it to drag and zoom the clip under the window, trim the start and end, change the speed, loop it and keep or mute its sound. Exports use the exact video frame for every frame of your video.

Newer iPhones record in HEVC, which many browsers can’t play outside Safari. Set Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible, or convert the clip to H.264 MP4 (for example with HandBrake), then upload it again.

The presets use short distances, long smooth settles and consistent easing — no bounces or spins. Mark elements as primary, secondary or supporting and the motion adapts, and the Motion Check flags anything too fast, too slow, crowded or hard to read.

Yes — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5. You can switch a project to another format, or duplicate it into one, and every scene is re-composed instead of stretched: rows of cards become columns and text moves above the visual. To get YouTube, Reels/Shorts/TikTok and Instagram versions at once, tick 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 in the Export window — your project isn’t changed.

Yes. Open the Effects panel on the left and choose Ripple background to make the whole slide ripple like water, Ripple selected to ripple one image or shape, or Ripple area for a rippling patch you can move anywhere. Pick raindrops or rings from the centre and set the amount, bend and speed.

An effect in the Effects panel: soft blobs drift, merge and split, and the image, screenshot or video underneath shows only inside them. Add it on a selected image, over your background, or anywhere, and choose a colour, frosted or dimmed look outside the liquid. Liquid reveal turns it into a transition: the image or video appears as scattered drops that grow and merge into the full picture.

Yes. Turn on Captions and your narration becomes timed on-screen captions in a pill, word-by-word or outline style, at the top, middle or bottom. They are burned into the exported video, and you can download an .srt file for YouTube or LinkedIn.
