The quickest way to turn ideas into HD videos

Kapwing’s online AI Video Generator takes your text and turns it into a high-definition video, combining short clips, subtitles, background music, and transitions to turn your creative concept into a customizable video. Repurpose content from other projects and create short videos that range from 15-30 seconds, perfect for bitesize social media clips. Or, get to work on longer projects like infomercials, adverts, and YouTube tutorials that can last up to five minutes.


Unlike other AI video makers, you have full creative control of the editing process with 100 built-in features. Following AI's initial work to help get your idea into video form, you can add a selection of professional custom edits — find alternative B-roll for scenes, add your favorite song as background music, create personal voiceovers, and more.

Kapwing also lets you select a custom aspect ratio before starting your AI-generated video, making your new video the optimum size for sharing on social media. Create with ease and upload to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube with ease!

How to generate an AI video

  1. Open Kapwing AI

    Start a new project and open AI tools by clicking on the lightbulb icon in the top left-hand corner of the editor

  2. Describe video and edit

    Enter a video topic and describe the video elements you would like in as much detail as you can. Then, select the size, text style, and duration of your video (you can always customize these after). Generate your video and make any necessary edits to your AI-generated video.

  3. Finish editing and export

    Explore the rest of the video suite for the full video editing experience such as changing the background music, uploading video clips, recording a voiceover, and more. Once you’re finished, click 'Export project' and download your final version to upload online and across social media.

Create quality content at scale using text to video online

AI-powered text to video allows you to start each creative campaign with a jumpstart on the competition. Skip past the time-consuming idea stage and dive straight into content creation by allowing AI to curate your initial video concepts.

Kapwing's AI Video Generator gives you a high-quality foundation of music, subtitles, and video/image overlay, so you can spend more time on the technical creative tweaks that make your brand come alive.

Quality videos without a complicated learning curve

Jump into a fully-fledged video editing platform with an intuitive interface. Providing you with a large selection of subtitle style presets, Kapwing offers a smart feature that generates auto-captions on your videos so you don't need to manually type out closed captioning or subtitles every time.

Generate videos from documents, articles, and essays

Instantly change the format of any block of text. Kapwing's Document to Video AI scans written content and creates a high-quality video for you, summarizing the key points from your document. It's a quick and efficient way to turn text into more visually engaging content.

Turn rough drafts into professional videos with AI

Kapwing's B-roll Generator feature scans your rough-cut video and provides you with studio-grade stock footage and graphics. It's a cost-effective approach so you can avoid signing up to expensive image licensing websites.

Maximize your reach across social media channels

Maximize each social channel by repurposing video content and creating short clips fit for every format. Turn written content into a video by importing the blog post URL, then let Kapwing's AI take care of the rest. Best of all, Kapwing boasts an auto-post tool that allows you to export your project then and share it straight to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Increase your content output with a diverse range of AI tools

Improve your content creation turnaround time to just minutes — not days. Never wait too long for a video to get edited and approved with collaborative video features and AI tools that speed up advanced edits like auto-transcribe and auto-cut. New editor features also include dubbing your video into 30+ language translations or creating a lip-sync between the audio and a speaker's lip movements.

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 a 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!
