Every Golpo Video Style (2026 Guide): Sketch and Canvas, Same Prompt
A 2026 side-by-side gallery of Golpo Sketch and Canvas video styles, all generated from the same prompt so you can see exactly what each one looks like before you pick.
Every Golpo Video Style (2026 Guide): Sketch and Canvas, Same Prompt
Picking a Golpo video style from a dropdown is hard when you can't see what each one actually looks like. So we ran the experiment: take one prompt, generate it through every Golpo Sketch style and every Golpo Canvas style, and put the outputs on a single page side by side.
The same prompt drives every video. The only thing that changes between them is the style picked in the dashboard (or the equivalent field in the API payload).

The setup
We asked Codex (via the Golpo skill plugin) to generate the same video across every style. The prompt for every call was identical:
How Golpo transforms internal company documents and knowledge into engaging visual explainer videos
Every video below is 2 minutes long. The style label above each video matches the dropdown label inside the Golpo dashboard one-to-one.
Golpo Sketch styles
The original Golpo pipeline. Hand-drawn-feeling whiteboard animation rendered through Golpo's line-art engine. Pick a Sketch style under the Style dropdown when creating a video in the dashboard.
Classic
The default Golpo Sketch style. The same Classic style produces a black-and-white video or a colorized one depending on the Use color toggle — both variants are shown below.
Classic — black and white:
Classic — color:
Improved (Beta)
Golpo's newer Sketch line-art treatment.
Dry Erase
The traditional dry-erase whiteboard look — thicker outlines, hand-drawn feel.
Professional Clean
A pared-back Sketch treatment with cleaner lines and more whitespace.
Crayon
Looser, more illustrative line work that leans into a hand-drawn crayon feel.
Formal
A more refined Sketch treatment with denser composition per scene.
Sketch styles not shown in this gallery (available in the dropdown — generate a sample to see how each looks): Chalkboard (Black on White), Infographics, Creative, Formal (Legacy).
Golpo Canvas styles
Golpo's newer image-generation-driven canvas. Each frame is rendered through Canvas's image engine rather than line-art animation. Pick a Canvas style under the Style dropdown when Canvas is the active pipeline.
Chalkboard (White on Black)
White-on-black chalkboard look.
Chalkboard Color
Chalkboard treatment with full color accents.
Whiteboard
The Canvas pipeline's whiteboard interpretation.
Modern Minimal
Restrained palette, geometric shapes, generous whitespace.
Playful
Brighter palette and more expressive character work.
Technical
Schematic, blueprint-adjacent feel with cleaner diagrammatic lines.
Editorial
Magazine-style illustration with more designed compositions per scene.
Sharpie
Bold marker-pen feel with thicker strokes.
Canvas styles not shown in this gallery (available in the dropdown — generate a sample to see how each looks): Chalkboard (Black on White), Illustration.
Picking a style
Watch the videos above and pick the one whose look matches the audience and tone you're targeting. There's no wrong answer — generate a quick 30-second test in two or three candidate styles and compare side by side before committing to a longer video.
If none of the visible styles fit, try the four Sketch styles and two Canvas styles not included in this gallery — they're available from the same dropdown.
