Golpo Canvas doesn't just make videos - it makes them your way. Whether you're going for a clean classroom vibe, a polished editorial look, or something that screams "I definitely hired a designer" (you didn't), there's a style for that.
Let's walk through every single visual style available on Golpo Canvas, show you what each one looks like, and break down which plans get access to what.
The 8 Golpo Canvas Visual Styles
1. Chalkboard Black & White
The classic. Think of a professor drawing on a chalkboard, but the professor is an AI and the drawings are actually good. This is the signature Golpo Canvas look - clean white illustrations on a dark background that make complex ideas feel simple and approachable.
Best for: Educational content, explainers, tutorials, onboarding videos
2. Chalkboard Color
Take everything great about Chalkboard Black & White and add a splash of color. Same hand-drawn feel, but now with vibrant highlights that make key concepts pop. It's like your chalkboard got an upgrade.
Best for: Marketing videos, social media content, product demos where you want more visual energy
3. Modern Minimal
Clean lines. Lots of white space. The kind of design that makes people say "that looks expensive." Modern Minimal strips away the noise and lets your content breathe. If Apple made explainer videos, they'd probably use this one.
Best for: SaaS demos, investor updates, corporate training, anything where "sleek" is the vibe
4. Technical
For when your content means business. The Technical style uses blueprint-inspired visuals with precise, structured illustrations. It feels like peering into an engineer's notebook - detailed, methodical, and surprisingly beautiful.
Best for: Engineering walkthroughs, architecture diagrams, technical documentation, developer content
5. Editorial
Bold. Confident. The Editorial style gives your videos a magazine-quality feel with rich illustrations and strong visual hierarchy. This is the style you pick when you want your content to look like it belongs on the front page of a design publication.
Best for: Thought leadership, brand storytelling, newsletters, social media campaigns
6. Whiteboard
The trusty whiteboard - except you never run out of space and nobody's handwriting is illegible. Clean, bright, and familiar. If you've ever watched a great whiteboard explainer and thought "I want that but without hiring an animator," this is your style.
Best for: Internal training, how-it-works videos, product walkthroughs, startup pitches
7. Playful
Fun, colorful, and full of personality. The Playful style brings a lighthearted energy that makes even dry topics feel engaging. It's the style that makes your audience smile before they even realize they're learning something.
Best for: Social media shorts, student-facing content, community updates, anything that should feel approachable and fun
8. Sharpie
Bold, raw, and unapologetic. The Sharpie style looks like someone grabbed a thick marker and just started drawing - and nailed it. There's an intentional roughness here that feels authentic and human in a world of overpolished content.
Best for: Founder updates, behind-the-scenes content, quick explainers, anything where "real" beats "perfect"
Pen-in-Hand Animation Styles
Want to take it up a notch? Pen-in-Hand animation adds a realistic hand physically drawing the illustrations on screen. It's mesmerizing to watch and makes your videos feel handcrafted (because, well, they look like they are).
Pen-in-Hand works with any of the 8 visual styles above. Pick your style, pick your pen - and watch the magic happen.
Pen Style
A fine-tipped pen drawing precise, elegant lines. Clean and professional.
Stylus Style
A digital stylus on a tablet. Modern, tech-forward, and perfect for content aimed at digital-native audiences.
Marker Style
A bold marker with thick, confident strokes. Think whiteboard session energy but with even more visual punch.
