Examples
Watch a finished drawing before you make your own. Examples are free to play, and they stay on SketchFlow.
A pencil draws the sun, the tree, and the house, then color fills the street.
Drawn slowly with a hand and a yellow pencil, so the crown, trunk, and lotus have time to appear.
A fast marker sketch. The bear is on the page in a few seconds.
A steady drawing with a pen in hand, from the bow across to the lotus.
Workflow
Five steps from a still image to a pencil video. Sign in once, then every picture follows the same path.
Use Google. The first time, confirm your name, add your date of birth, and accept the terms.
Drop in a PNG, JPG, or WEBP. A drawing, a photo, or a simple illustration all work.
Set the speed, pick a pencil or leave the page empty, and choose a landscape or vertical frame.
The page starts blank. Each part appears in order, then the picture settles into the last frame.
Save the MP4 when the drawing finishes and use it wherever you post video.
FAQ
Short answers for the choices on this page.
Yes, before you create your own video. Example videos play without an account. The first time you sign in, confirm your name, date of birth, and the terms.
PNG, JPG, or WEBP, up to 8 MB. A simple drawing or a clear picture works best. Busy photos can be traced with fewer parts.
Match the picture draws toward the picture you uploaded. Pencil Line Art turns any picture into clean pencil outlines and draws those lines, so the last frame is that line drawing. Pencil Sketches Art turns any picture into a shaded pencil sketch. A face finishes looking like that face drawn in pencil.
How long the pencil spends on the drawing. Slow is about a minute for a simple picture, and a little longer when there are many parts. Medium is about half a minute, or about 40 seconds for a busy picture. Fast finishes in about 12 to 14 seconds.
None leaves the page empty of a tool. Hand, Blue, and Pen show a hand holding the tool. Yellow, Wood, and Marker show only that tool.
Landscape is a wide 16:9 frame. Vertical is a tall 9:16 frame. After you choose a picture, drag it inside the frame to pick the part that stays.
The free plan refreshes a set of credits every day. Credits you do not use are cleared, so they do not pile up the next day. A video uses 7 to 16 credits, depending on speed, finish, and whether color is filled in. Each plan also caps how many videos you can start in a day. Example videos are free. If a render fails, the credits and the daily slot are returned. Paid plans and extra credit packs are on the Plans page.
Example videos are for watching on this page. Your own finished videos stay in Your videos for 48 hours, where you can download them, delete them, or join them into one longer video. Generated videos are deleted automatically after 48 hours.

Extra credits work on the free plan and on every paid plan. They stay until you use them, and a video spends them the same way.

SketchFlow uses a Google account to know who is creating a video, and it uses the images you upload only to render that video. This page explains what is stored.
Sign-in is handled by Google through Firebase Authentication. SketchFlow receives your name, email address, profile photo, and a Google account id. The first time you sign in, you also give your date of birth and confirm that you accept the Terms & Conditions. The date of birth is used to check that you are at least 13. It is not used for advertising.
When you create a video, the picture is sent to the SketchFlow renderer running with this app. The renderer builds an MP4 so you can play it and download it. The finished video is then saved with your account. You can play it again, download it, or join it with other clips. Delete removes it from Your videos. Generated videos and their posters are deleted automatically after 48 hours. Example videos are made from pictures kept with the app. They can be played again, and they are not offered as a download.
The free plan refreshes a credit balance on a schedule set for SketchFlow. Unused free credits do not carry forward. A video spends credits based on the speed, the finish, and color fill. Paid plans add a credit balance for a number of days, or unlimited credits on the yearly plan, and each plan has a daily video limit. Extra credit packs stay until they are used. Payments are taken by Razorpay. If a render fails, the credits for that video are returned.
Your account record stays on the server that runs SketchFlow until the person operating that server deletes it. A video you create stays in your account for 48 hours, or until you delete it. The video file and its poster are stored in Firebase Storage, and the link is stored with your user record. Each morning at 6:00 AM India time, anything older than 48 hours is removed. Signing out on this device removes the session from the browser. It does not delete the account.
SketchFlow does not sell personal information. Google receives the sign-in as part of Firebase Authentication. No advertising cookies are set by this app.
If you use Help & support, SketchFlow stores your name, email, topic, and message so the note can be answered. When you are signed in, your account id is stored with that note.
This copy of SketchFlow runs on the computer that starts it. The person who operates that computer is the right person to ask about a copy of your data or about deletion.

These terms cover use of SketchFlow, the tool that turns a still image into a pencil-drawing video.
You need to be at least 13. You sign in with Google, then confirm your name, date of birth, and these terms before the first video.
You may only upload images you have the right to use. You keep your rights in those images. SketchFlow uses them to render the video you asked for.
Videos are generated automatically. The drawing follows your picture, and the last frames are meant to stay close to it, but a render can miss fine detail. You are responsible for how you publish the MP4.
Free credits refresh and do not roll over. Each video spends credits based on the options you choose. Paid plans, daily video limits, and extra credit packs are shown on the Plans page before you pay. A failed render returns the credits for that video. Plan length is counted from the time the payment succeeds.
Do not upload unlawful content, and do not try to disrupt the renderer or another person’s account.
SketchFlow is provided as it runs today. Features, the starter balance, and these terms can change. The operator of the server can stop the app or remove a video that breaks these terms.
SketchFlow draws a still image as if a pencil were moving across paper. You upload a picture, pick how fast the pencil moves, and choose a landscape or vertical frame. The clip starts blank and traces the parts in order. Match the picture finishes close to the original. Pencil Line Art finishes as clean pencil outlines. Pencil Sketches Art finishes as a shaded pencil drawing of the same picture.
A Google account, a picture you have the right to use, and a minute while the renderer builds the MP4. The browser plays the video. The drawing itself happens on the SketchFlow server.
Google sign-in is provided through Firebase. SketchFlow stores your name, email, photo, date of birth, and the time you accepted the terms so the create button knows the account is ready.
This installation runs on the computer that starts the SketchFlow server. Questions about an account, a video, or these pages go to the person who operates that computer.
