Maintain relevant visuals with AI
When converting your article into a video, Kapwing automatically pulls images from the URL and syncs them with the script. Our advanced AI ensures every video is created with relevant visuals and cuts out wasted time manually uploading.
Create multiple videos from one article
Whether a 2,000-word blog or a 300-word article, you can generate multiple videos from a single story. You can even upload published documents such as PDFs!

Maintain full control of your brand by manually editing the script or using automatic prompts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert an article URL that I don't own?
Yes, Kapwing’s Article to Video tool enables you to convert any published URL into a video, even if the article wasn’t created by you or your organization. However, it’s essential to understand copyright laws and guidelines before using any content as your own. Be aware that using images from a URL you don’t own likely infringes on copyright. Transforming the content with original script, voiceover custom images, videos, and significant edits may qualify as Fair Use, but this is subjective and depends on the specifics of each case.
Can I upload an article that isn't published?
Yes, you can turn unpublished articles into videos without needing a URL. Navigate to the 'lightbulb' icon to access Kapwing's AI tools and select the 'Document to AI' feature. Copy and paste your text into the tool and click 'Generate Video'. Once the video is created, you can upload custom images or videos and add them to the editing timeline for personalized customization. This also applies to documents like PDFs — just copy and paste the content into Kapwing's 'Document to AI' tool to create your video.
What should I do if images from my article are missing in the video?
If your video has been created without pulling in your desired images then you have two options. Firstly, Kapwing recommends running the process again via the 'start over' button, which should provide the solution and pull in your desired images. Alternatively, you can upload missing media and directly add them to the Kapwing editor.
Does Kapwing add videos and embeds from articles?
No, currently Kapwing's AI-powered editor only pulls images from the submitted URL. However, we are working on an improved process to pull both videos and embedded content from platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter).
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 voiceover.
Is Kapwing's AI Article to Video Generator free?
Yes, Kapwing’s AI-powered Article to Video tool is available for free, allowing all users to export 5 minutes of content. To use Kapwing's AI tools for extended minutes, a paid subscription is required.
Can you convert documents to videos?
Yes, Kapwing's Article to Video Generator also supports converting a wide range of documents into videos. The tool will work as long as your document has a published URL, like a PDF report. Simply follow the same process: copy and paste your document's URL into the 'Use an Article URL' box. Alternatively, you can copy and paste the text from any document!
Is there a Kapwing watermark on exports?
If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports — including AI-generated content — will contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from your creations.
What is an AI Persona and how are they used?
An AI Persona is a digital avatar created using AI. You will notice the option to use them as part of your Article to Video generation. Kapwing has two main types of Persona offerings:
- Cloning yourself: You can clone yourself into a Persona by uploading a video of yourself speaking to the camera.
- Using a Stock Persona: Kapwing offers a range of Stock Personas, which are real people from diverse backgrounds.
To create a Persona, film a video (minimum 15 seconds) speaking to the camera, upload it to Kapwing, and name the Persona. Once your Persona is created, you can use it for individual projects or select your Persona when it appears on the 'Generate video' tab as you navigate through the Text to Video process. Alternatively, you can choose a voice from the stock library.
Kapwing is free to use for teams of any size. We also offer paid plans with additional features, storage, and support.
