Paste any article, blog post or URL and turn it into a polished video in minutes. No cameras or editing software required. Add natural narration, visuals and captions, then share it wherever your audience watches.
Key featuresArticle-to-Video Features
Convert text to video from any link
Paste any article URL or upload the text, and the converter extracts the key points. The AI analyses the page, organises the content, and creates an outline, working like a URL-to-video workflow that turns written content into a finished video without any setup.
Convert written content into a script
Long articles rarely work word for word on screen. The converter rewrites your text as a concise, natural-sounding script, then lets you refine the tone with a simple prompt. A built-in video script generator and connected AI tools keep the structure clear from the first draft.
Narrate articles in any language
Give your article a clear, natural voice without hiring a narrator. When you add an on-screen presenter, AI lip sync matches the avatar’s mouth movements with the narration. The AI voice generator lets you choose from over 300 natural-sounding voices and customise pacing, emphasis and emotion across more than 177 languages and dialects.
Auto-matched visuals and transitions
Every key point gets a relevant visual, so your video never feels static. The converter adds stock footage, AI-generated scenes, transitions, and on-screen text that follow your script. Pick a visual style or template, then use image-to-video tools to animate stills for a polished video.
Subtitles and aspect ratios for social media
Captions increase watch time and make videos easy to follow without sound. The converter automatically adds clear subtitles and exports videos in the appropriate aspect ratios for YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. A reliable subtitle generator optimises short-form clips for social media feeds.
Use cases
Writing a post and then filming a separate video doubles your workload. Use a YouTube video generator to create a video from an article you have already published, and turn articles into engaging clips that attract new subscribers.
Newsrooms and creators can't film fast enough to keep pace with trends. Paste a breaking article and publish a scroll-stopping TikTok video within minutes, while the story still drives shares and views.
Marketers spend hours recreating the same message for every channel. Convert one article into marketing videos featuring your brand kit and logo, so a single piece of content optimises an entire campaign.
Updating printed guides means reshoots and slow rollouts. Upload your documentation to generate a clear training video your team can watch, making onboarding video creation faster and easier to update.
How-to posts can be dense and easy to skim over. Convert a guide into an educational video using an intuitive editor and AI-generated visuals, making complex topics engaging enough for viewers to watch until the end.
English-only content leaves global audiences behind. Convert your article once, then use a video translator to publish the same video content in over 177 languages and dialects, ensuring every market hears the message in its own voice.
