Turn Ideas into Sketch Videos that Draw Themselves
Explain anything with a video that draws itself. Describe your idea and Pexo's sketch video maker turns it into a hand-drawn animation, with marker strokes, clean lines, and a voiceover that lands every point, ready for your course, pitch, or channel.
How Pexo turns an idea into a sketch video
Turn a prompt or a photo into a finished sketch video
Start from a single line of text or a product photo. Pexo writes the script, generates every shot, and stitches them into one continuous, edited video. You can mix text to video, image to video, and script to video inside the same project, and stay in plain language the whole way. No timelines, no keyframes, no editor to open.
Generate the frames you do not have
Missing a shot, a backdrop, or a product still? Pexo generates it in-house with gpt-image-2, matched to the look of your sketch video, then animates it straight into the timeline. You design the exact frame you need in words instead of searching stock or staging a shoot, and it flows into the video without leaving the tool.
A score written for this video
Pexo generates an original soundtrack tuned to the mood and pacing of your sketch video, so you are not digging through stock libraries or risking a copyright strike. Tell it the feel you want, energetic, cinematic, calm, and it scores the cut and mixes the levels under the narration automatically.
Your hand-drawn look never drifts
A sketch video falls apart when scene three suddenly looks drawn by a different hand. Pexo's Hyperframe locks your visual identity, the same line weight, the same character design, the same marker-on-white feel, across every scene you generate. Recurring characters and diagrams stay recognizable from the opening stroke to the final frame, so a longer explainer still feels like one artist drew it.
One sketch video, every aspect ratio
Pexo delivers your sketch video natively in 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, and 1:1 for feeds, up to 4K and anywhere from 5 to 120 seconds. Each aspect ratio is generated fresh for that screen, with the composition framed for it rather than cropped down from one master. Ask for several formats at once and post the right version to every channel. It looks intentional everywhere it lands.
Explainers people actually finish, drawn with Pexo
My lessons used to be slide decks. Now every module opens with a sketch video that draws the concept out step by step. Completion rates went up.
We explained a complicated integration in ninety seconds of hand-drawn animation. Sales shares it in every demo.
I typed our donation story and had a whiteboard video with narration the same day. Donors actually watch to the end.
Everything about making sketch videos
What is a sketch video?+
A sketch video is an animation that looks like it is being hand-drawn in front of the viewer, usually on a white or whiteboard style background. The drawing motion keeps attention on one idea at a time, which is why the format is a favorite for explainers, courses, and pitches.
Do I need to know how to draw?+
No. Describe what should appear and Pexo generates the artwork itself, then animates it in a hand-drawn sketch style. You get the doodle look without ever touching a pen.
How do I make a whiteboard sketch animation with AI?+
Type what you want to explain. Pexo writes the script, generates the sketch visuals, animates the drawing, and adds narration, music, and captions. You review the video and regenerate any scene until it is right.
Can I turn my own images or diagrams into a sketch video?+
Yes. Upload a product photo, a diagram, or existing artwork and Pexo redraws and animates it in the sketch style, so your real material becomes part of the drawing.
Why do sketch videos work so well for explainers?+
Because viewers follow the pen. Research on whiteboard style video found viewers recalled roughly 15 percent more information than from a talking-head version of the same content, and the format keeps complex topics simple.
What else can I make in this hand-drawn style?+
Plenty. Turn a narrative into a story video, or take the same idea further as an animated short film.
