Document to video in a single click
Generate complex video content using AI
Turn any plain text into engaging videos
Take the copy from your PDFs, Microsoft Word documents, or any other file and instantly convert them into multimedia-rich MP4s. Kawping's AI-powered Document to Video tool starts by turning your text into an engaging script, then uses the script to generate a video — complete with voiceover, subtitles, music, images, videos, transitions, and an optional AI Persona (human presenter).
Quickly generate visuals without editing experience
From uploading your document to creating an MP4, the process takes less than 3 minutes. No prior video editing experience is needed, making Kapwing's AI tool the perfect feature for creators looking to turn presentations, meeting notes, lecture copy, press releases, and training material into engaging visual content. Presenting or summarizing information never has to be dull again.
Upload published PDFs and online URLs
If the content has a published online URL link then Kapwing can turn it into a video. Convert PDF reports, E-books, manuals, research papers, company documents, and case studies into video storytelling experiences.
Maintain brand style AI-powered edits
Although your document is automatically converted into a video, Kapwing allows you to remain in control of the tone of voice. Choose from five branding prompts to adjust the language of the video script from informative to creative. If your video needs a new focus, simply ask AI to explore specific talking points related to your document. Once you're done, continue personalizing with a diverse range of narration voices and subtitle styles.
