home / use cases / explainer cartoons

Your explainer script, animated.

If explaining your business takes a slide deck, try a cartoon. Write the explainer as a short story, add your voiceover if you have one, and ReelToons generates it as a 2D animation for social, your website or onboarding.

why this format

Why explain with a cartoon?

Show, don’t tell

Characters acting out a problem and a solution can be easier to follow than a paragraph of text.

Your narration

Write the narration into your story, or attach a recording if you have one.

One cartoon, many places

Vertical for social, horizontal for your homepage and emails.

an example

Something like this. From your script.

“A Regular Day” makes the case for insurance without a single word about policies. An explainer script can work the same way: show the problem clearly, then the solution.

questions

Good questions. Better answers.

How long should an explainer be?

Usually 45–60 seconds ($9–$12), but the length is up to your script.

Can it show my app or software?

Upload screenshots with your script and describe where they appear.

Can I use my own narration?

Yes. Attach your recording when you describe your story.

Can I get both vertical and horizontal?

Each format is its own generation, so generate one of each.

Hard to explain? Animate it.

Bring your explainer script. We’ll generate it as a 2D cartoon within a day.
