explain.ink / Hand-drawn explainer videos
private Active Website
TypeScript Vue 3 Express FFmpeg Docker

explain.ink turns a topic, script, or document into a hand-drawn explainer video. You give it a line of text or a whole document; it writes the narrative, splits it into scenes, draws each scene on a chalkboard or whiteboard, adds a voiceover, and renders a downloadable mp4.

The drawing is real hand-drawing, not slideshow fades: strokes are traced and animated on, scene by scene, the way a person would sketch them at the board.

Built on the Typus stack and self-hosted. The scene-assembly pipeline runs headless, SVG stroke tracing plus FFmpeg, so a finished video is produced end to end without a human in the loop.
