`Convert articles into videos — in any aspect ratio`

Download your article or blog post as a PDF and upload to Kapwing.

Kapwing's AI reads the document, extracts the key points, writes a video script, matches relevant visuals, and builds a complete draft with voice over, subtitles, and background music.

The result is a fully editable video project. Swap scenes, restyle captions, change the voice over, translate to 100+ languages, or add your logo — all inside Kapwing's timeline editor.

Export in 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok or Reels, 1:1 for Instagram, and more aspect ratios.

AI-matched visuals — sourced and added automatically

When Kapwing processes your article, AI matches relevant stock visuals and custom AI-generated video footage to each section of the script.

Every visual is replaceable. Swap any clip or image from Kapwing's royalty-free stock library, upload your own brand assets, or re-generate with AI.

Create a Brand Kit full of logos, colors, custom fonts, and AI characters and Kapwing will apply them to every video project when prompted.

Convert Article

One article.

Multiple videos formats.

A single article or blog post can generate a 5-minute YouTube explainer, a 30-second TikTok, a square Instagram Reel, or an MP4 website embed — all from the same source document.

Choose your aspect ratio before generation and Kapwing optimizes the layout automatically, complete with Safe Zones to preview how published content will display.

Works with any written content you can export as a PDF or add via copy and paste: blog posts, news articles, press releases, long-form guides, opinion pieces, and more.

`Kapwing vs other article to video tools`

Generate.

Edit.

Export.

Most article-to-video generators produce a video file and stop there. To add captions, resize, or swap scenes, you need a second tool — losing time and quality in the transfer.

Kapwing generates, edits, and exports in one online workflow. After generation, each video layer is fully editable. Share project links with teammates, leave live feedback, and collaborate with cloud storage.

Upgrade to Pro to remove the Kapwing watermark and unlock higher generation limits, plus Brand Kit features to save logos, fonts, colors, and AI Avatars for instant reuse.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.

As a housewife at home looking to start a YouTube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Kapwing is my secret weapon!

This is one of the most powerful, yet inexpensive and easy-to-use video editing software I've found. I blow my team away with how fast and efficiently I can edit and turnaround video projects.

Gracie Peng

Kapwing is king.

When I use this software, I feel all sorts of creative juices flowing because of how jam-packed with features the software really is. A very well-made product that will keep you enticed for hours.

Love this site.

As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features

[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!

Natasha Ball

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.

[Subtitler] is able to autogenerate subtitles for video in almost any language. I'm deaf (or almost deaf, to be correct) and thanks to Kapwing I'm now able understand and react on videos from my friends :)

This tool should be in every social media account managers' bookmark list.

I use this daily to help with video editing. Even if you're a pro video editor, there is no need to be spending hours trying to get the format correct. Kapwing does the hard work for you.

●Just the FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.

Is the AI Article to Video Generator free?

Yes, all of Kapwing’s tools are free to try. However, generating longer videos from articles requires a Pro subscription.

How do I upload my article?

Download or export your article as a PDF to get started. You can do this from any blog CMS using an export or print-to-PDF option, or directly from your browser on any published article (File → Print → Save as PDF). Once saved, upload the PDF to Kapwing to begin generating your video. Alternatively, if you do not have a PDF, you can copy and paste text from any source material.

Are images, videos, and social embeds pulled into the AI video?

No. Currently, Kapwing’s AI-powered editor does not extract images from the PDF you submit. However, you can manually add media to your video by copying and pasting links from Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and other sources, or by uploading files directly.

Can I add custom edits to the video?

Yes, after generating a video from your article, you can fully customize the content to suit your project. Remove images and videos, adjust subtitles, add sound effects, incorporate branding elements, or even record your own voice over.

Can I convert an article that I don't own?

Yes, Kapwing’s Article to Video tool enables you to convert any PDF into a video, even if the article wasn’t created by you or your organization.

Can you copy and paste text instead of using a PDF?

Yes. Kapwing’s tool works with any written content — blog posts, news articles, how-to guides, listicles, opinion pieces, press releases, and long-form editorial content. You can upload a PDF or copy and paste text from any source material.

What is an AI Persona and how are they used?

An AI Persona is a digital avatar created using AI. You can create and save AI Personas in the Brand Kit, then add them to any project by tagging them with @ during the prompting process.

Kapwing has two types of Personas: an AI clone of yourself or a Stock Persona. You can clone yourself into a Persona by uploading multiple reference images. Kapwing's Stock Personas are a selection of human-realistic people and animated characters to choose from.

What is an AI article to video generator?

An AI article-to-video generator turns written content like articles, blog posts, and press releases into video drafts with visuals, voice over, subtitles, and music.

Kapwing creates AI-generated videos using multiple AI models to combine AI-generated footage with licensed stock visuals based on your desired video length and style.
