Turn a wall of docs into a story worth watching

Drop in a doc, a Markdown outline, or plain text — aluexplainer storyboards it on a whiteboard canvas, sequences the reveal on a timeline, and hands you back a video, a live embed, or a fullscreen presentation.

Something real you could build

A whole system-design walkthrough — Netflix's architecture, drawn and animated step by step. Same engine as the editor, just muted and on loop.

How it works

Step 1

Sketch or import

Draw shapes and diagrams by hand on an infinite canvas, or drop in a doc, Markdown outline, or PDF and let AI storyboard it for you.

Step 2

Assign motion effects

Group elements into timeline steps, pick a reveal — draw-on, fade, slide, zoom — and set the pacing for each one.

Step 3

Export, present, or embed

Play it fullscreen, drop a live embed into your site, or render a video to ship anywhere.
