What is a whiteboard animation and when should you choose it?
A whiteboard animation is a drawn explanatory video in which you see how illustrations are created, accompanied by a voice-over and subtle animation. Also known as an Explanimation. The format is perfect for explaining processes, services, or policy plans in a simple way and quickly creating support. Because your brain receives words and images at the same time, the core message sticks better and you increase understanding and retention.
Choose whiteboard animation if you want to simplify complex information, explain internal changes, enrich e-learning, or introduce a service without distracting bells and whistles. If you are looking for more emotion or cinematic impact, we recommend a different 2D animation or 3D style. We are happy to help you choose what works best.
Styles and possibilities
There are various ways to create whiteboard animations. We produce both the classic whiteboard look and modern variants that better match your corporate identity.
- Classic: black line drawings on white, possibly with accent colors.
- Digital whiteboard: the "hand" gesture without a physical pen, with sleek, brand-specific icons.
- Hybrid: whiteboard flow combined with animation elements and dynamic transitions.
- Branding-first: your own typography, colors, and icon set so that everything is 100 percent recognizable.
Optionally, we provide multiple aspect ratios for social media, subtitles, different languages, and versions for sales, onboarding, or e-learning. Everything is customized, from illustration style and pacing to sound design.
