Whiteboard animation software: what to choose

Updated 2026-10-03 · by the AutoScribble team

Quick answer

Whiteboard animation software falls into two groups: template-based editors, where you place drawings and record a voice yourself on a timeline, and AI generators like AutoScribble, which write the script, plan the scenes, draw them and narrate automatically. Template editors offer fine manual control; AI tools are far faster — AutoScribble makes a finished video in about ten minutes.

Template-based editors

Tools such as VideoScribe and Doodly let you build scenes from an image library on a timeline and add your own voice-over. They suit people who enjoy hands-on editing and want frame-level control.

AI whiteboard generators

AI tools start from your idea or script and produce the whole video. The best ones let you approve the script and storyboard first so you keep control without doing the manual work.

What to look for

Prioritise the things that decide whether a video actually explains well.

  • Control over the exact script
  • A storyboard you can review before paying
  • Natural narration in your audience's language
  • Brand colours and logo
  • Portrait and landscape output
  • Real examples you can watch first
