Scale video production with text-to-video AI
Everything you can do with text-to-video AI
Turn scripts into lifelike presenter-led videos
Paste in a script and the text-to-video generator delivers a finished take in minutes. Avatar V delivers full upper-body movement and a natural performance for long-form scripts. Choose from more than 700 avatars or create your own digital twin from a 15-second clip. You can also use AI face swap to quickly create UGC-style variations from the same script.
Multilingual voice and natural narration
Generate an AI voice-over that sounds human, or use AI voice cloning to keep the same presenter across markets and campaigns. Dub a single script into more than 175 languages and dialects with lip-synced movement, so global teams can deliver the same message without re-recording any voice-overs.
Easily add AI B-roll, animations and visuals
Skip the search for stock footage. The text-to-video generator creates videos with scene-matched B-roll, animation and visuals using AI models such as Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.0. Every AI-generated shot aligns with your prompt.
Captions, subtitles and global delivery
Word-synchronised captions and subtitles are produced automatically with the AI subtitle generator. Localise captions in more than 175 languages in the same render, for any video. Accessibility, global reach and engaging videos are delivered together in a single pass, rather than through three separate workflows.
High-quality export and 4K delivery
Export high-quality video in 4K MP4 (16:9, 9:16 or 1:1) from a single project, ready for YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn or your LMS. Brand kits keep typography, colours and logos consistent across every video edit, so one simple text prompt works across every channel.
Real-world uses of text-to-video AI
Marketing teams wait weeks for edits and translations. Paste in a campaign brief, choose a presenter and generate video content for promotions, products and demand generation.
L&D teams replace outdated modules and time-consuming reshoots with text-driven training videos. Update the script, regenerate the video and publish it to your LMS or training workflow.
Content creators rarely have a film crew. Paste in a script-to-video prompt, choose a presenter and publish vertical or horizontal clips for YouTube, TikTok and Reels.
Studios and shoots can delay ecommerce launches. Add your product copy, generate a presenter-led explainer with automatic B-roll, then publish it to your online store, ads and social channels.
Course creators publish lessons faster. Turn an outline into short videos, animated videos and a narrated lesson with captions and translations in minutes.
Generic sales emails slow down pipelines. Generate clips and turn text into video at scale, addressing each prospect by name and use case.
Filmmakers spend days and blow budgets shooting scenes that a prompt can generate first. Write a script-to-video prompt and generate cinematic AI B-roll with Seedance.
Paste in a brief, choose an approved presenter and generate on-brand video with SSO, role-based access and built-in SOC 2 Type II compliance.

Learn more about text-to-video AI
What is an AI text-to-video generator, and how does it work?
An AI text-to-video generator (also called an AI text-to-video tool) turns written content into a video with a presenter, voice-over, captions and visuals. Paste a text prompt, choose a style and the text-based AI video generator will create an AI-generated video in minutes.
How do I create a video from a script using AI text-to-video?
Paste your script into the editor, choose a presenter and voice, then refine the visuals, captions and music. The AI text-to-video engine automatically creates videos from text prompts, turning your script into a finished video in minutes.
Can I create videos in multiple languages with subtitles?
Yes. The AI video translator dubs your video into more than 175 languages with synchronised lip movement and automatically generated captions. Captions, subtitles and voiceovers are localised in the same render, so global teams can use one script across every market.
What is the best free AI text-to-video app?
HeyGen is the leading free AI text-to-video tool and a powerful free AI video generator. The Free plan gives you access to more than 700 presenters and over 175 languages, along with the engine trusted by more than 85,000 businesses. Customers report reducing production costs by up to 70% on paid plans.
Can ChatGPT convert text to video?
No. ChatGPT is a text generation model and can't natively convert text into video. HeyGen is an AI video generator (a generative AI text-to-video generator) that turns your prompt into a complete video with a presenter, voice-over, captions and B-roll in minutes.
Does text-to-video AI deliver real business results?
Yes. Würth Group cut translation costs by 80% and delivered a 65-minute presentation in eight languages within four days. Customers report production cost reductions of up to 70% and 62% faster training video creation across their teams.
Can I use AI text-to-video videos for commercial purposes?
Yes. Videos generated on paid plans are licensed for commercial use across marketing, sales, training and product channels. Brand kits keep logos, typography and colours consistent, so every video is on-brand and ready for ads, landing pages and outreach.
Can I edit parts of a generated text-to-video?
Yes. Update the script and the AI video editor regenerates only the section you changed, so there’s no need to re-record or rebuild from scratch. Swap the presenter, voice, captions or B-roll at any time without redoing the entire video edit.
How long does it take to generate a video using text-to-video AI?
Most AI video generation takes minutes, not hours. A typical 1–3-minute script becomes a finished video in minutes, including voice-over, captions and AI-generated B-roll. Longer scripts take a few extra minutes for each language.
Can I use my own voice or presenter avatar?
Yes. Record a 15-second clip and the platform creates a custom presenter and a high-fidelity cloned voice. Reuse them across all your text-to-video projects, so the same on-brand AI tool can deliver content in any language without the need to film again.
How much does text-to-video AI cost?
A Free plan covers core video creation across video tools and the AI generator. Paid plans start at $24 per month for higher resolution, longer videos, brand kits and team seats. Enterprise covers SSO, SOC 2 compliance, GDPR and SCORM export.
Can I turn a blog post, image or PDF into a video?
Yes. Add a blog post URL, paste a long-form article or upload a PDF to video file, and the platform extracts the script, selects scenes and renders the complete video. Image-to-video, AI-generated image B-roll and multilingual captions are all delivered in one pass.
