Make video part of your content strategy

Kapwing’s AI Article to Video Generator turns articles, blog posts, or copied text into a ready-to-edit video.

Maintain relevant visuals in every project

When you convert an article to video, Kapwing can pull visuals from the source URL and match them to the generated script. That helps you create videos faster without manually sourcing every image or clip from scratch.


You can then swap visuals, add branding, change subtitles style, and refine the final edit inside Kapwing.

Repurpose one article into multiple videos

Whether a 2,000-word blog or a 300-word article, you can generate multiple videos from a single story.


Kapwing also supports article-style source material beyond URLs, including copied text and published documents, so you can repurpose more of your existing content library.


Generate a vertical cut for TikTok, a square version for Instagram, or a wider version for YouTube and embeds — all from the same source content.


Just like that, your content calendar is filled with engaging videos across every social vertical.

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!

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.
[Subtitler] is able to autogenerate subtitles for video in almost any language. I'm deaf (or almost deaf, to be correct) and thanks to Kapwing I'm now able understand and react on videos from my friends :)

Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.

Is the AI Article to Video Generator free?

Yes, Kapwing’s AI-powered Article to Video Generator is free for all users. However, to access Kapwing complete AI toolkit with extended usage limits, a paid subscription is required.

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.

Are videos and social embeds pulled into the AI video?

No, currently, Kapwing's AI-powered editor only extracts images from the URL you submit. However, we are working on an improved process to support both videos and embedded content. In the meantime, you can manually add media to your video by copying and pasting links from Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and other sources.

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.

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 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!

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 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.

What is an AI article to video generator?
