For anyone who wants to sell explainer videos to local businesses, anywhere.
Pick a type of business and a town. Explaindio finds the ones with no video on their website, makes each one a sample video of its own business with one click, and writes the email to send it. When an owner pays you, one click puts the full video on their page, and the money is yours.
Price increases as more people purchase. The checkout shows the exact price.
The checkout shows the exact price.
One-time payment. No monthly fee.
30-day money-back guarantee.
Includes an optional desktop app. Rendering on your own computer is free.
A sample video Explaindio 5 AI made from an example local business's website, with one click. The business is one we created for these demos.
Every video below was made by Explaindio 5 AI from the business's own website, with one click. Some were then lightly edited by hand, and each caption says which.
Use the switch above each business to see the watermarked sample the owner gets, or the full video they get when they pay.
The businesses are examples we created for these demos, each with its own real website.
Watch a few.

Every ad below was made in the Explaindio 5 AI editor, with the features that come with Explaindio 5 AI. The businesses are fictional examples we created for these demos.
Explaindio 5 AI is built for finding local businesses, in any town you choose.
But if you sell your own digital product, software or app, it works for you too.
Paste your product's website, and Explaindio makes an explainer video that shows what it does and why it matters.
There are more new apps than ever, including AI apps and apps built in a weekend.
A short, clear video helps a visitor understand your product in seconds.
Explaindio can help turn more of your visitors into buyers.
Explaindio 5 AI on screen for 3 minutes: the search, the one-click sample video, the email, and the paid video. Example businesses created for this demo.
Price increases as more people purchase. The checkout shows the exact price.
Most local businesses, in any town, have a website.
Far fewer have a video that explains what they do.
In one test search of Austin dentists, Explaindio found 42 with no video on their website.
That is a business that could use a video, and does not have one yet.
Explaindio finds them for you, and makes the video before you ever reach out.
A business type and a town in, a sample video out, and an email ready to send. The business is a fictional example we created, and the price on its sample page is one the example seller set. What you charge is up to you. Not a promise of clients or of what you will earn.
Pick a type of business and a town: dentists in Austin, plumbers in Denver, salons in Tampa.
Explaindio builds a list of businesses in any town you pick and checks each website for you.
It flags the ones with no video, and it notes other problems it can see, like a missing security certificate, a site that isn't set up for phones, or no social media links.
It also looks up the email addresses and phone numbers each business lists on its own website.
Pick a business and click once.
Explaindio reads its website and makes a finished animated explainer video about that business: its services, its strengths and its call to action.
Explaindio writes a short, personal email to go with the video.
You read it, change what you like, and copy it into your own email or CRM to send it.
Each business gets a link to a sample page with its own video on it.
The sample on that page has a large watermark and a shorter cut, and it cannot be downloaded.
When the owner says yes, they pay you through your own payment link: PayPal, Stripe, or any way you already take money. The link is in your email and on their video page.
The money goes straight to you, and there is no new account to open.
Then one click from you, and the full video, without the sample label, is on their page to play and download.
Explaindio 5 AI comes with an optional desktop app, included. It opens the full Explaindio editor in its own window on your computer, with the same projects, templates and AI you have on the web, and rendering on your own computer is free.
Use it when you want, use the web when you want. It needs an internet connection.
The Explaindio 5 AI desktop app, recorded on a computer: the same editor you have on the web, and rendering there is free.
If you've used Explaindio Classic, the way you made videos is still here. Open the studio, pick a template, change the words, the pictures and the voice, and render. More than two thousand animated templates are in it, including the ones you know.
Use the AI for the whole video, or for none of it. The choice is yours, scene by scene.
Use Explaindio 5 AI in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian or Brazilian Portuguese. Every screen, every button and every message is in the language you pick, and you can switch any time in Settings.
Your sample videos are narrated in English, with four US English voices. Explaindio 5 Pro, also in the Bundle, makes videos in six languages, with English in US and UK voices: see "Can I make videos in another language?" below.
Most people ask a business owner to imagine a video.
You send them their own video, already made.
The video exists before your first email.
When they pay, the video is already made.
The business sees its video with a watermark, on a page you control.
It cannot take the video without paying you.
Explaindio makes the videos on its own servers.
There is no other video tool to pay for, and nothing else to break in the middle of a demo.
You want to sell videos to local businesses, anywhere, without spending your time making them, and with the businesses that need one found for you. Explaindio finds the businesses and makes each video from the business's own website. You never film, edit or go on camera.
You're a freelancer, or you run an agency, and you want to add video to what you sell, with a sample that sells itself before the first call.
You already serve local businesses, anywhere, with websites, ads, listings or social media, and want a video to add to the offer.
You have your own app, course or software, or you're about to vibe code one and sell it, and want an explainer video made from its website.
You've used Explaindio Classic and want the new version, with the templates you know and the same hands-on way of making a video.
You have never made a video. Explaindio makes each one from the business's own website, and you can change anything in the editor.
You're outside the US. Pick any town. Searches work in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and beyond.
Not for you if you want a tool that sends emails for you. You read every email and click send yourself.
No promises about results. This is what the work looks like.
How many answer, and when the first yes comes, depends on your niche, your market and your emails. Nothing here promises a sale.
Explaindio searches free sources first, and they work with no setup.
To search even more businesses, you can connect your own map key.
The map provider bills you for that directly, and Explaindio adds no charge.
AI video generators charge by the second of video they make, and you pay again for every try you throw away.
It's animated video, built the way a studio would build it: from more than two thousand animated templates, five Video Blueprints, free stock photos and video, and a narrator, all arranged around the business's own website. So the cost doesn't run away from you.
Explaindio 5 AI makes animated video from the business's own website: its words, its pictures, motion and a narrator. Your 800 credits make about 60 or more sample videos.
Install the optional desktop app, and rendering on your own computer is free.

30 ready scripts in the hook, story, payoff shape for the videos businesses ask for most: a promo, an offer, an explainer, a customer story, an announcement. Swap in the business name and the offer, paste the script, and make the movie.
Narration scripts you can read as they are, with plain notes on voice, tone and pace for ads, explainers and promos, written for Explaindio's built-in narration and for your own cloned voice.
Fill-in caption lines and on-screen text for ads, short tall videos, explainers and promos, written to drop onto your Explaindio videos so the message lands with the sound off.
Copy-and-paste prompts for Generate Images that give each video a strong opening picture, by video type and kind of business, so a business video earns the click before anyone presses play.
An editable one-page template that presents your video service as three clear packages: a single video, a monthly pack, a bundle. Scope lines are written; the price fields are blank, marked "illustrative, set your own". It never promises clients or earnings.
The 15 things an owner says when unsure, from "we already have a video" to "send me some info", each with one short, pressure-free reply and the one quick video that answers it best.
On their own, they should be $1,082. They're all included with Explaindio 5 AI.
When a business pays you, that money is yours.
Explaindio does not take a cut of your sales.
What you charge is up to you.
You read every email before it goes out.
You click send yourself, one business at a time.
Every email carries an opt-out link, and anyone who opts out is marked Do not contact, so Explaindio won't write or send to them.
Owners ask for changes. A different photo, a line about this month's offer, a longer video for the home page.
Open the sample in the editor, change the words, the pictures, the colors or the voice, and click Update the page with my edits: their page shows the new version, at the same link. After they pay, the full video is made from what they approved.
With Explaindio 5 Pro, videos can run up to five minutes.
Explaindio 5 AI is brand new software, built from the ground up for the AI era. It is the fifth Explaindio: four versions of Explaindio Classic came before it, since 2014, used by more than ten thousand creators, freelancers and agencies. Everything they did by hand around those videos for ten years is now a button. Their favorite animated and drawn assets came along, and so did the desktop app, as Explaindio has always had one. Rendering on your own computer is free.
It is built around one idea: the video should exist before the first email.
It is made by Explaindio LLC, a Delaware company with its office in New Jersey.

When you make a video in the Studio, you pick its language, and the script, the voice and the captions follow it. You can also clone up to five of your own voices, or pick from a library of more than 65,000 public-domain voices that Pro opens, and every one of them reads all six. The app itself works in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese.
Explaindio makes each sample from the business's own website, so a business needs one for the one-click sample.
For a business without a website, you can still make a video for it yourself in the Studio.

The owner gets a finished animated explainer video about their own business, made from their own website: pictures, moving text and a narrator’s voice. It is not a webcam recording over a screen. Watch each sample before you send it, and change anything you like in the Studio.
Your searches are yours: you pick the type of business and the town, and you choose which businesses to send to. Another buyer can search the same town. What sets you apart is the video about that owner’s own business, and the email you send with it.
Explaindio 5 AI is a one-time payment, so your account does not run out. You keep the app and every video you have made.
You send each email yourself, one business at a time, from your own email, and each one carries an opt-out link. That is how a normal business writes to a few people a day. The First Week Plan is ten emails a day. Anyone who opts out is marked Do not contact, so Explaindio won’t write or send to them.
P.S. Most businesses in your first search will have no video. Explaindio makes each one its own video before you write a word. You send it, and the owner sees their own business, already in a finished video.
P.P.S. You have 30 days. Find your first businesses, make their videos, send your first emails. If you want a refund, contact support within 30 days of your first purchase and we refund it.
P.P.P.S. The sixteen bonuses are inside your account from day one, starting with The First Week Plan, so you know exactly what to do tomorrow morning.
