In short
Most tutorial video makers are built for software: record your screen, or write a script and let an AI presenter talk through it. For a physical product, neither shows what the customer needs to see: which part, which way round, where it goes.
We make how-to videos for physical products from the product's own instructions. Every step, in order, animated, in your brand colours, with captions.
How to make a tutorial video from your instructions
- Upload the instructions (PDF or a link). A quick-start sheet is enough for a set-up tutorial.
- Create a free account with Google or your email.
- Your logo and colours are read from your website; pick a style.
- Watch the free, watermarked preview within 24 hours.
- Order the full tutorial film. It arrives by email and in your account.
Tutorials that work well
- Unboxing and set-up: what's in the box, what to remove, what to plug in first
- Assembly: furniture, fitness equipment, bikes, grills, toys
- Installation: wall mounts, appliances, doorbells, fans
- First use and care: adjusting, cleaning, replacing a part
Example: a standing-desk set-up tutorial
A quick-start sheet with eight steps (attach the legs, fit the crossbar, mount the control box, route the cables, attach the top, plug in, reset the height, set the presets) becomes an animated tutorial with eight scenes and captions. The one step people usually get wrong, the height reset, gets its own scene instead of a footnote. (Illustrative example.)
What you get
- Every step of the document, animated in the same order, one scene per step
- As long as the manual needs, priced by its length: from $119, most manuals $149 to $179
- Your logo and colours, read from your company website, in the style you pick
- Widescreen and vertical versions, captions included
- A calm voice and calm music included; sound effects +$2
- Checked against your order before delivery; one round of changes included with every full film
- No watermark on the full film. It's yours to host on your LMS, intranet, help centre or YouTube
When another tutorial maker fits better
- Software procedure (clicks in an app): a screen-recording guide tool is the right choice.
- Policy, compliance or soft-skills training: a presenter or avatar video tool is the right choice.
- Physical steps with drawings (assemble, install, set up, maintain, operate a machine): an animated film of the steps, which is what we make.

Full pricingQuestions
What is the best tutorial video maker for physical products?+
One that works from the product's instructions and shows the steps as animation, because customers need to see parts and movements. That's what we make. For app or software tutorials, a screen-recording tool is the better choice.
Do I need video editing skills?+
No. You upload the instructions and pick a style. There's nothing to film, record or edit.
Is there a free version?+
You get one free, watermarked preview, under a minute long, per company, made from your own instructions. Full films are paid per film, with no subscription.
Can I put the tutorial on YouTube or my product page?+
Yes. The full film has no watermark and is yours to use anywhere, in widescreen and vertical.
What does a tutorial video cost?+
The preview is free. A full film is from $119, most manuals $149 to $179, priced by the manual's length and shown before you pay, ready within 24 hours. Express +$50 puts your film first in line. A calm voice and calm music are included; sound effects +$2. If we can't read every step of a manual, we make a shorter film of it instead, up to 1 minute (1½ minutes on Express), at the first price, $119. Prices exclude VAT.
