Three kinds of doodle animation
- Sketched pictures. Upload any image and it's traced into pen strokes, drawn in order, then coloured in.
- Handwritten text. Titles are written left to right with the pen following the line, in a handwriting typeface.
- Margin doodles. Stars, spirals, arrows, bursts and squiggles are drawn into empty corners after each title.
Pick your paper and pen
The same doodle engine powers five looks: Notebook (blue ballpoint and pencil on lined paper), Whiteboard (marker), Chalkboard (chalk), Blueprint (technical pen) and Neon Night (a glowing stylus). Scribble sound effects follow the pen for a satisfying, tactile feel.
Handwriting animation that works in many languages
Handwritten titles use a script typeface for Latin and Cyrillic alphabets and fall back gracefully for others, so you can doodle in Spanish, Russian, Hindi or Japanese. Narrate in the same language with one of 49 AI voices, or your own.
Tips for great doodle videos
- Use simple drawings with clear outlines — or photograph your own felt-tip sketches.
- Keep titles short so the handwriting stays snappy.
- Give each drawing a full sentence of narration so the sketch has time to finish.
