Text to Video

Scale video production with text-to-video AI

Features

Everything You Can Create with Text-to-Video AI

Transform scripts into lifelike presenter-led videos

Paste a script, and the text-to-video generator delivers a finished video in minutes. Avatar V provides full upper-body movement and natural delivery for long-form scripts. Choose from over 700 avatars or create your own digital twin using a 15-second clip. You can also use AI face swap to quickly create UGC-style variants from the same script.

Multilingual voice and natural narration

Generate an AI voice-over that sounds human, or use AI voice cloning to retain one presenter across markets and campaigns. Dub a single script into over 175 languages and dialects with lip-synchronised movement, enabling global teams to deliver the same message without re-recording any voice-overs.

Easily add AI B-roll, animations and visuals

Skip the stock footage search. The text-to-video generator handles video generation 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 across 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 videos 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 version, so a simple text prompt can be used for every channel.

Use cases

Practical applications of Text
to Video AI

Marketing videos and campaigns

Marketing teams often wait weeks for edits and translations. Paste a campaign brief, choose a presenter, and generate video content for promotions, products, and demand generation.

Training and onboarding

L&D teams can replace outdated modules and time-consuming reshoots with text-driven training videos.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.

YouTube content and social media

Content creators rarely have a film crew. Paste a script into the video prompt, choose a presenter, and publish vertical or horizontal clips for YouTube, TikTok and Reels.

E-commerce and product videos

Studios and shoots can delay e-commerce launches. Add your product copy, generate a presenter-led explainer with automatic B-roll, and publish it across your online store, advertisements, and social media.

Educators, courses and explainers

Course creators can publish lessons faster. Turn an outline into short videos, animated videos and a narrated lesson with captions and translations in minutes.

Sales outreach and personalisation

Generic sales emails can slow down your pipeline. Generate clips and convert text into videos at scale, addressing each prospect by name and use case.

Filmmakers and cinematic content

Filmmakers spend days and exhaust budgets shooting scenes that a prompt can generate first. Write a script-to-video prompt and create cinematic AI B-roll with Seedance.

Enterprise video at scale

Paste a brief, select an approved presenter, and generate an on-brand video with built-in SSO, role-based access, and SOC 2 Type II compliance.

How it works

How to convert any text into a video

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 known as an AI text-to-video tool) converts written input into a video featuring a presenter, voice-over, captions and visuals. Simply paste a text prompt, select a style, and the text-based AI video generator will render an AI-generated video within minutes.

How can I create a video from a script using AI-powered 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 renders videos from text prompts, turning your script into a finished video within minutes.

Can I generate videos in multiple languages with subtitles?

Yes. The AI video translator dubs your video into over 175 languages with synchronised lip movements and automatically generated captions. Captions, subtitles and voice-overs are localised in the same render, enabling global teams to use a single script across every market.

Which is the best free AI app for converting text to video?

HeyGen is the leading free AI text-to-video tool and a powerful free AI video generator. The Free plan provides access to over 700 presenters, more than 175 languages, and the engine trusted by over 85,000 businesses. Customers report reducing production costs by up to 70% with paid plans.

Can ChatGPT convert text to video?

No. ChatGPT is a text-generation model and cannot natively convert text into video. HeyGen is an AI video generator (a generative AI text-to-video generator) that transforms your prompt into a complete video with a presenter, voice-over, captions and B-roll in minutes.

Can text-to-video AI deliver tangible business results?

Yes. Würth Group reduced translation costs by 80% and delivered a 65-minute presentation in 8 languages within 4 days. Customers report up to a 70% reduction in production costs and 62% faster creation of training videos 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 delivered on-brand and ready for advertisements, 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 modified section, so you need not re-record or rebuild the entire video from scratch. Change the presenter, voice, captions or B-roll at any time without restarting the video editing process.

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- to 3-minute script becomes a finished video within minutes, complete with voice-over, captions and AI-generated B-roll. Longer scripts may take a few additional minutes for each language.

Can I use my own voice or presenter avatar?

Yes. Record a 15-second clip, and the platform will create 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?

The Free plan includes core video creation across video tools and the AI generator. Paid plans start at $24 per month and offer higher resolution, longer videos, brand kits and team seats. Enterprise includes SSO, SOC 2 compliance, GDPR and SCORM export.

Can I convert 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 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 delivered in a single pass.
