How to Use Whiteboard Draw

Whiteboard Draw helps you turn a normal image into a hand-drawn whiteboard animation video. Upload a JPG or PNG, choose your timing, and the tool generates a clean MP4 you can use for YouTube, TikTok, presentations, online courses, and social media.

Below is a simple step-by-step guide so you can create your first whiteboard video in a few minutes.

Step-by-step: Create your whiteboard video

You don’t need an account or editing experience. Just follow these steps:

1. Upload your image
   Click Select Image and choose a JPG or PNG (up to 3 MB). For the cleanest results, use images with clear outlines and strong contrast.
2. Optional: Upload a drawing hand
   If you want a different hand style, upload your own hand image (PNG/JPG). If you skip this step, the default hand will be used automatically.
3. Set your draw duration
   Choose how long the drawing animation should take. Shorter durations are great for quick hooks and shorts. Longer durations look more detailed for explainers and presentations.
4. Set your final hold time
   This controls how long the finished drawing stays on screen at the end. Use this if you want time for a title, subtitle, or call-to-action overlay.
5. Optional: Choose draw direction
   Pick the direction you want the drawing to reveal (for example left-to-right). Choose the direction that matches your layout and how viewers read the image.
6. Generate the video
   Click Generate whiteboard video. You’ll see a progress bar while the video renders. When it finishes, the video will appear in the preview area.
7. Download your MP4
   Click Download MP4 to save the final video. The MP4 works on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, PowerPoint, and any video editor.

Tips for cleaner results

• Use high-contrast images. Simple icons, diagrams, and sketches usually look the cleanest.
• Avoid busy backgrounds. If your image has lots of texture/noise, the drawing can look messy.
• If possible, use a light background to match the classic whiteboard look.
• Test different draw durations. Faster for shorts, slower for explainers and lessons.
• If you upload a custom hand, a transparent PNG usually blends best.
