Is the hand-drawn animation real, or just a visual style?

It's a real animation: strokes are revealed progressively along their actual drawn path, with an animated hand/pen cursor, and this plays back the same way in exported video as it does in the editor.

Can I organize a whiteboard into multiple scenes?

Yes. Whiteboard Studio supports multiple scenes for longer explainers, using the same scene system as Animation Studio, with previous/next navigation while presenting.

Does Whiteboard Studio include ready-made shapes and icons?

Yes. A built-in element library covers arrows, speech/thought bubbles, labels, checkmarks, stars and diagram shapes, available in hand-drawn, clean or minimal visual styles.

Can I export a whiteboard as a video?

Yes. Whiteboard Studio exports video (WebM/MP4) with the draw-reveal animation included, as well as static PNG, JPG, SVG and PDF, and the editable JTProject format.

Main features

Real draw-reveal animation

Whiteboard Studio doesn't just fade content in — it reveals each stroke progressively along its actual path, with a configurable animated hand/pen cursor, and that same animation is baked into exported video, not just the editor preview.

Built-in explainer elements

A library of ready-made arrows, speech and thought bubbles, labels, highlight bars, checkmarks and diagram shapes in hand-drawn, clean or minimal visual styles.

Multi-scene boards

Build longer explainers across multiple scenes using the same scene system that powers Animation Studio, with quick previous/next navigation while presenting.

One canvas, shared with Design and Animation

Whiteboard Studio is built on the same canvas and element engine as Design Studio, with direct hand-off into Animation Studio for further motion work.
