About Speedpaint
Speedpaint transforms JPG, PNG, WebP or SVG images into hand-drawn sketch videos. The process begins with automatic line-art extraction using neural models, which trace the image into clean strokes without manual outlining. Users can then customize the drawing by selecting duration (5–60 seconds), hand style, stroke detail, and colouring mode. The tool animates the sketch stroke by stroke, optionally filling in colour through wipe, brush, block or fade effects. Rendered videos can be previewed in-browser before exporting as 1080p MP4 or GIF files, or shared via a link. No design skills or software installation is required, and the service operates entirely online. It is designed for creators, teachers, and marketers who need quick, watermark-free sketch animations from existing images.
