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).

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.

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.

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.

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!
