Turn Your Text Into Animated Explainer Video

Ideas are easier to grasp when you can see them. Ideas flow outward. What turns a static idea into motion? Time. But time is meaningless—what about using words as timing.

Meet MoBoard, a text-based video maker. Start with your words—just write a paragraph of what you want to say. Highlight a few keywords that matter. For each keyword, attach or adjust visuals: icons, shapes, images, even charts. No complex timelines; your text becomes the structure.

What about animation? Say your text has three highlighted keywords. When the cursor is on the first: add a circle. Move the cursor to the second: that same shape edits into a square. Third keyword: adjust it into a diamond. During playback, the shape appears on the first word as it’s spoken, morphs into the square on the second, then into the diamond on the third and settles. MoBoard handles timing and transitions, so motion matches meaning.

Let's look at the MoBoard editor interface. On the left, a list of paragraphs is your script. Each paragraph is like a slide or scene. You can click to play, or click for machine dubbing. On the right, you see a live preview that updates instantly as you tweak visuals. Overall, you stay in flow: write, adjust, and preview.

All in your browser—no install, no heavy files.
