Doodly Is The Perfect Choice For …
Youtube marketers
The biggest ranking factors on Youtube are engagement signals such as likes, shares, and time that a user watches a video. Doodle sketch videos are proven to be up to 20x more engaging than a standard video. So by simply adding a short doodle intro, you can expect to see an increase in user engagement and Youtube ranking.
Teaching and training
By adding a visual representation of what you’re teaching, via a doodle sketch video, you’ll find that your presentations will not only be much more engaging, but your viewers will retain more of what you’re teaching because they’re not only listening and reading, but they are also able to learn by watching. By using all 3 modalities at once, the end result is exponentially better for everyone involved.
Facebook Advertising
If you’re looking to create a Facebook ad that will stop someone from scrolling and pay attention to you, a doodle video can do just that. Doodle videos are proven to be an extremely engaging form of video. The reason being that people love to watch other people create. There were entire television shows based on watching someone draw for 30 minutes (i.e. The Joy Of Painting by Bob Ross).
Sales videos (VSLs)
Doodle videos are typically the highest converting video type available, which is why professionals can demand $1000s of dollars for a single doodle video. They work perfectly if you’re selling a digital product such as an online course, an eBook, a software product, or a membership website. Doodle videos are also the perfect choice for explaining and selling eCommerce products on your website (or on Amazon).
Creating fun and inspiring videos
Whether you’re looking to create a video to inspire someone to take an action such as donating to an important cause, or you’re designing a birthday video for a loved one, or you just want to impress your friends with a hand-drawn doodle sketch video (without needing to actually learn how to draw), Doodly is the perfect choice.
And hundreds of additional uses…
There are far too many uses for Doodly to mention here. The only limitation is your imagination. With Doodly, we give you the technology and simplicity needed to take your ideas and turn them into professional, impressive-looking doodle sketches… in whiteboard, blackboard, greenboard, or glassboard videos.
Create The Most Realistic-Looking, Doodle Videos For Any Industry And Niche. Here Are Some Videos Created By Fellow Doodliers (With Zero Tech Or Design Skills)...
Video 1: whiteboard - children are a gift, video 2: glassboard - happy halloween, video 3: blackboard - the doodlies, video 4: glassboard - third eye yoga, video 5: glassboard - art of coloring, video 6: blackboard - email marketing, video 7: whiteboard - charity video, video 8: glassboard - 8 comic storytelling, doodly is more than just a software. it’s also a community of like-minded, creative people, looking to make the world a better, happier place..
When you order Doodly, you’ll also get access to our private Facebook group with over 75,000 active Doodliers who are absolutely thrilled with Doodly.
But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s some of what they have to say (taken straight from the group)
So EASY a 7 year old can use it!
Doodly was created by marketers, for marketers. Doodly was designed over the course of 2 full years to be incredibly intuitive and easy to use. It’s the perfect fit for people like myself who have little, to no design or technical skills.
While we do have lots of tutorial training videos, an active and responsive customer support team, as well as a private Facebook group full of happy Doodliers willing and able to help with any questions you might have… you actually don’t need any of it to create your first doodle video within minutes.
In fact, my 7 year old daughter asks me almost every night before bedtime if she can create a doodle video. I gave her all of 30 seconds of “training” and she’s able to create her own whiteboard doodle videos in just a few minutes! And my daughter isn’t the only child having fun with Doodly. Take a look at the fun these Doodly users' children are having.
Listen to what others are saying about how easy and intuitive the Doodly, whiteboard animation software is...
Simple, Yet SUPER Powerful!
And don’t let the simplicity fool you. Just because it’s simple to create the videos, doesn’t mean the end result looks like it was created by a newbie-friendly product. The videos that Doodly create look even better than what the professionals charging $1000s of dollars for their services, can create.
With Doodly, we’ve taken the power from the hands of the mega rich video agencies and put it directly into the hands of the average business owner, like you and I, looking to take the ideas in our heads and turn them into a reality.
So Go Ahead And Get Your Copy Of Doodly, And Create Your First Whiteboard Animation Video Today!

9 Best Whiteboard Animation Software In 2022 (Free & Paid)

But, with the help of whiteboard animation software, it is now super easy to create your own whiteboard animation .

Prices for a paid Powtoon plan start at $20 per month (annual billing).
✔️ 100 MB free storage ✔️ Export to YouTube ✔️ 15 whiteboard templates
What to look for in whiteboard animation software?
When thinking about getting a whiteboard animation software, be sure to consider the following:
Voice over support
Custom drawing.
One of the main aspects you need to decide upon is whether you are after a premium or free whiteboard animation software.
The price you pay usually determines what features you will get. The premium ones undoubtedly enable you to create flawless animations, whereas you will be heavily restricted when using free software.
If you are strapped for cash and need a free software, be sure to consider the limitations. These include watermarks, recording time restrictions and low-quality export options.
Most whiteboard animations have a voice over with a narration that complements the drawings.
Some software have voice over recording support, whereas others only allow audio files to be imported. If you’re going to use a voice over, be sure to look for those that have this feature to make you life a little bit easier.
Most whiteboard animation software come with a library of doodle assets that are ready to use. This means that the doodles will be drawn in a natural fashion since they have a draw path attached.
Some of these libraries can be rather limited, and so you may want to add your own images. Only certain software support custom image imports with custom drawing paths.
With custom draw paths, you can decide how the images are drawn. This way, the doodle animation looks more natural compared with a general hand movement to reveal the image.
When you are after a paid whiteboard animation software, then ideally you will want to try before you buy. Look out for those that offer a free trial, or a free plan, to get an idea of the functionality and doodle library on offer.
If there is no free trial, then your next best thing is to look out for a money-back guarantee.
Wrapping up
Whiteboard animations are great videos to grab the viewer’s attention. The great news is that anyone can now create their own animation with the help of the best whiteboard animation software.
If you want all the bells and whistles, then go for a paid software. I use Doodly and absolutely love it.
Got no money to commit? Well start off by using a free alternative. Animaker and RenderForest have strong sets of features without having to pay a penny.
Do you create whiteboard animations? If so, let me know in the comments below the software you use – I’d love to hear them!

hi thanks for so informative article. Could you suggest a software desktop preferably) free or paid which can convert a power point presentation to whiteboard video / doodle?
Hi Roshan, Many thanks for the feedback :) So, I do not know of a software that has such a feature. Especially if the presentation has a voiceover narration over it, this will be hard to match up the animations automatically with software. An alternative way would be to recreate the PowerPoint presentation within a whiteboard software, such as Doodly. You could export any voiceover from the presentation and import it into the whiteboard software and use this for your timings. I hope that makes sense? Do let me know if you find a method, as I am interested myself. Steven
Hi Steven, I think the software Powtoon allows you to convert PowerPoints into animation.
Many thanks for sharing Musab. I’ll check Powtoon out
Can Doodle doodle over an existing running video or is that option onl available on Easy Scetch Pro?
Hi Carina, Unfortunately, you cannot import a video into Doodly. It is on their Feature Request list, so we may see this in the future. I hope that helps. Steven
