Explideo
Explideo is a browser-based whiteboard video maker for creating hand-drawn explainers from narration or a scene-by-scene plan, with MP4 export. Its auto-doodle tool transcribes uploaded audio or video, selects drawn assets and synchronizes them with narration. Users can turn photos into doodles or generate images ready for drawing from prompts. Projects can begin with audio, a template or a blank canvas, and the editor provides pan-and-zoom cameras plus entrance, emphasis and exit animations. Videos can be cloud-rendered or exported in the browser; browser exports are unlimited on every plan. The built-in library includes hand-drawn images, icons and music, and finished videos can be published to YouTube, social channels or an LMS. Explideo works in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox on Mac, Windows or Chromebook. The Free plan is free, billed forever, with one server export per month with a watermark. Starter costs $19 a month, billed month-to-month.
