Turn a PDF into a video that reads itself out loud
Reports, manuals, papers and proposals are written to be read — and mostly are not. Upload the PDF and get a video where a presenter walks through it page by page, with the layout exactly as you designed it.
20 free credits on signup — enough for a 2-page extract.
What a PDF gains from becoming a video
Reports and whitepapers
A 30-page PDF nobody reads becomes a 30-minute video someone can put on in the background — with the charts still legible, because the pages render as-is.
Manuals and SOPs
Step-by-step documents work well narrated: the viewer watches the page while being told what to do on it, instead of reading a table of contents and guessing.
Papers and posters
A conference paper or research poster gains a short walkthrough that states the finding in plain language, which is often the part readers struggle with.
Proposals and client decks
Sent as a PDF it competes with everything else in the inbox. Sent as a narrated video it gets watched, and the argument is made for you.
What survives, and what changes
Survives intact
- Multi-column layouts, tables, charts and equations
- Page order and any numbering you set
- Fonts and branding, because the page is rendered not rebuilt
- A timestamp per page, so viewers can jump to a section
Changes
- Links and form fields stop being clickable
- PDFs over 40 pages should be split
- Scans without a text layer have nothing to narrate from
- The output is one MP4, not a PDF you can annotate
Questions about PDF conversion
What people ask before uploading a long document.
It needs a text layer. Each page is rendered as an image and the text on it is what the script is written from — a scan with no text layer gives the writer nothing to work with, so the narration would be guesswork. Export from the source document, or run OCR first, if the PDF is a scan.
Yes, because pages are rendered as images rather than reconstructed. A two-column report, a dense table or a formula keeps exactly the layout you designed. What is lost is interactivity: links and forms stop being clickable, since the page is now part of a video.
Roughly two minutes of finished video per page, and a deck of up to 40 pages is the limit per render. A 60-page report is better split into two parts than squeezed into one — and shorter parts are easier for people to finish anyway.
Yes. The script is shown page by page before anything is rendered: rewrite a page, regenerate the whole thing, switch to another of the 10 languages, or set the speaking rate. Rendering only starts after you approve it.
10 credits per page with a 2-page minimum, quoted before you commit. A 20-page report is 200 credits — about $1.44 on the yearly plan. Signup includes 20 free credits, enough to try it on a real two-page extract.
