Explainer video styles: 24 visual styles, plus your own
Each style has its own rendering engine, element library and tone. Pick the one that tells your topic best: AI writes the scenes, illustrates them in that style, adds the voice and captions.
Styles marked “Free” are in the free plan (3 videos a month with a watermark); the others come with Starter.
How to choose
Start from what has to be shown. A topic that happens somewhere calls for a map: Satellite briefing or Flash brief. A mechanism or a class concept is best drawn in line art, with Class sketch or Minimal line. An object, a machine or a place gains from 3D, with Archibald, Wireframe or Cutaway house. News or a recognisable series works well in pixel art, with Pixel News or Retro synthwave. A number is best shown in type, with Swiss grid or Tech list.
Tone matters as much: Comedy cartoon and Office toon make people smile, Red documentary and Glowing investigation bring gravity, Night tale tells a story with a moral. For a series, stick to one style: that is how your audience recognises you.
