Features
Everything a sketch video needs, in one studio
No timelines to wrestle with. Every panel is drawn, voiced and captioned for you, and every part stays editable.
A real artist hand
Headings are written stroke by stroke and pictures are sketched line by line, with the camera gliding between panels.
Style Studio
5 surfaces, custom colours, 10 handwriting fonts and 30 artist hands across marker, pen and chalk.
Voices that fit
Narrate with ElevenLabs, Fish Audio or OpenAI voices, or record and upload your own.
Word-highlight captions
Captions light up word by word in time with the voice, and you get an .srt file too.
Music & branding
Background music that ducks under the voice, your logo in any corner, and a closing card with your link.
30+ languages
Write and narrate in over 30 languages, including right-to-left Arabic and non-Latin scripts.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Do I need to be good at drawing or editing?
Not at all. You type a topic or paste a script, and SketchVidz plans the panels, sketches the pictures, writes the headings by hand and syncs everything to the voice.
What does "bring your own keys" mean?
You connect your own AI accounts (Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, ElevenLabs or Fish Audio). Their usage is billed to you directly at their prices, with no mark-up. Keys are encrypted on our server and never shown again in full.
Which AI accounts do I actually need?
A script writer (Anthropic, OpenAI or OpenRouter), OpenAI for pictures, and a voice (ElevenLabs, Fish Audio or OpenAI). You can skip the voice provider by uploading your own recording, and skip pictures by using your own images.
Can I use my own pictures and voice?
Yes. Upload a picture for any panel as a pencil sketch or in full colour, and upload or record your own narration. Uploaded recordings can be timed word by word for captions.
Where are my videos stored?
Videos render in your browser and download straight to your device. Your projects, pictures and voice clips are saved to your account, so re-rendering or switching to 9:16 never costs twice.
Which browsers work best?
A recent version of Chrome or Edge on a desktop or laptop gives the fastest export. Other modern browsers work with a slower fallback.
