Format
Whiteboard Shorts from dense documents
Turn PDFs, notes, or scripts into 2:3 whiteboard explainers with shorter narration, more scenes per minute, and tighter visual beats.
Built for short explainers
Shorts use a faster scene rhythm than standard whiteboard videos. Each scene carries one idea and moves on.
2:3 portrait framing
The generated frames use a vertical 2:3 canvas, so diagrams stay readable without packing too much into one scene.
Same review workflow
Review the storyboard, edit weak narration, and regenerate visuals on supported plans before you publish.

Process
How it comes together
Start with the material you already have, then shape the draft into something you can publish or share.
Choose Shorts as the whiteboard style
Start from a document or prompt, choose whiteboard, then select Shorts for the visual style.
Review the tighter storyboard
Inkbolt breaks the material into more, shorter scenes so each beat has room to land.
Export a portrait MP4
Publish the finished short explainer or keep editing specific scenes before the final render.

- Keep a consistent whiteboard look across a batch of clips
Training teams
Pull small lessons out of long documents
- Create quick refreshers from policies, SOPs, onboarding notes, and course material
- Use Shorts when a full training video is more than the learner needs
- Review narration and visuals before sharing the clip internally
Internal comms
Explain one update without asking for a full module
- Turn a narrow update into a short visual explanation
- Keep the script plain and direct for busy teams
- Reuse the same document source for longer videos when needed
FAQ
Common questions
Answers to the questions that come up most.
How is Shorts different from standard whiteboard?
Shorts uses a 2:3 portrait canvas, more snippets per minute, and shorter narration. Standard whiteboard is better for longer step-by-step lessons.
Can I make Shorts from a PDF?
Yes. Upload a PDF, choose the pages that matter, and select Shorts as the whiteboard style.
Can I edit the storyboard first?
Yes. Pro and Scale plans can review the storyboard before rendering and edit scenes later.
Is this tied to one social platform?
No. Shorts is a portrait whiteboard format. You can use the exported MP4 wherever that shape fits your workflow.
