About Golpo
What Is Golpo
Golpo is an AI whiteboard animation video maker built by Golpo AI. You type a prompt or upload a document, pick a style and a voice, then hit generate. A few minutes later you have a narrated animation where a hand draws each frame as the voice explains the idea. The company says more than 200,000 people use it, including teams at larger companies.
The pitch is speed without a production crew. Instead of scripting a video, filming it, hiring a voice actor and animating it, you describe what you want and let Golpo handle the rest. You can drop real photos, screenshots, logos or video clips into the animation, and you can bring your own script or a pre-recorded narration and have Golpo time the animation to it. The output runs up to 10 minutes in a single pass, and you can export vertical 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts or standard widescreen for YouTube. As an AI explainer video generator, it covers the whole job: script, drawn visuals, voiceover and export.
A few things are worth knowing before you commit. Golpo is a browser tool, so there's nothing to download. It runs on a credit system rather than a flat license, with 1 credit equal to 1 minute of video. There's no free tier on the pricing page, and API access only comes with the top Scale plan, so you can't plug it into your own workflow on the cheaper plans.
Getting Started
- Open the Golpo site in your browser and create an account with an email address
- Type a prompt, or attach a document, and paste in a script if you already have one
- Set the voice and tone, then choose a video style and canvas from the style library

Key features
Prompt to Whiteboard Video
The core workflow takes a prompt, or a pasted document, and returns a finished whiteboard explainer in minutes. A live hand draws every frame as the narration plays, so the result looks like a real whiteboard explainer rather than a flat motion graphic. You can steer the build before a frame is generated by flagging focus areas, sections to skip and visual treatments.
Real Images and Video in the Animation
You can drop in your own photos, screenshots, logos or video clips and Golpo weaves them directly into the explainer, alongside the drawn illustrations. That matters when a generic animation won't do and you need your actual product, your real footage or your own branding on screen. You can also record your screen from the app and fold it into the generated content.
Voice Control and Voice Cloning
You direct the narrator in plain English, setting tone, pacing, accent and emphasis, and the generated voice follows. Higher plans add voice cloning, so you can build and reuse an AI voice from your own audio clips, or bring your own pre-recorded narration and have Golpo time-align the animation to it. It's the feature that decides whether the video sounds generic or sounds like you.
45+ Languages and Multi-Language Variants
One prompt can reach a global audience. Golpo generates narration in more than 45 languages, and the higher plans add multi-language video creation, which builds up to 10 language variants from a single submission. For teams running the same message across markets, that removes the separate recording sessions and the separate scripts.
10+ Canvas and Sketch Styles
The style library spans crisp sharpie sketches, blackboard chalk, technical diagrams, dry erase, crayon and clean professional looks, so you can match a brand, a tone or a channel. Styles like Pen in Hand and Formal sit at the higher tiers, and the Growth plan adds color. Picking the right canvas is often what makes a clip feel native to a platform.
Frame-by-Frame Editing
After generation, Golpo lets you edit at whatever level the job needs. You can tell it what to change in plain language, step through frame by frame and adjust exactly what appears on screen, fine-tune when each visual lands against the narration, or select a single element and edit it on its own. The first edit is free and further edits draw from credits.
Pros and cons

- Editing is granular, from plain-language instructions down to frame-by-frame and component-level tweaks
- The pen-in-hand drawing look reads as a genuine whiteboard explainer rather than a generic motion graphic
Cons
- There's no free tier listed, so you have to buy credits before you can try it
- Videos are capped at 10 minutes, which rules out longer courses or full webinars
