Renderforest Whiteboard Animation is a browser-based tool for making whiteboard and doodle videos, available on the web, Android, and iOS. Its scene library includes more than 1,000 advertised scenes and templates, with options to customize colors, scene types, and transitions. Users can add their own artwork or voiceover, choose music, or use text-to-speech narration with multiple languages and accents. Finished videos can be downloaded or shared on social platforms; direct publishing to YouTube is also supported. Listed uses include education, product explainers, training, storytelling, marketing, and customer support. Free access includes whiteboard video creation, but free exports carry a watermark. Lite is $8 a month, Pro is $19 a month, and Business is $39 a month when yearly billing is selected; annual plans are paid upfront. The listed capabilities include drawing animation, a character library, voiceover tools, scene templates, 4K export, and commercial use.

Todrawn Scribe is a web tool that turns code, text, or freehand sketches into whiteboard animations by replaying strokes with a virtual pen. You can paste material, upload a file, or draw with a mouse, finger, or pen. Previews are free and unlimited, even without an account. Exports support 720p or 1080p, 24 or 30 fps, and vertical or wide video. Composition, playback, and encoding occur in the browser; Todrawn says code, text, and drawings are never uploaded. Inputs longer than 500 lines are trimmed, and uploaded files can be up to 1 MB. Free exports add a Todrawn Scribe end card, while Premium and lifetime exports are unlimited and watermark-free. The Free plan costs nothing and allows three boards, five images per board, and five watermarked exports per UTC day. Premium Annual costs $75 a year, Premium Monthly $10 a month, and Lifetime 120.00 USD once. Finished-video downloads require an up-to-date desktop browser.
