Text to Video

Scale video production with text-to-video AI

Features

Key features of Text to Video AI

Turn scripts into lifelike, presenter-led videos

Paste a script, and the text-to-video generator delivers a finished take within minutes.Avatar V offers full upper-body movement and natural delivery, even for long-form scripts. Choose from 700+ avatars or create your own digital twin from a 15-second clip.

Multilingual voice and natural-sounding narration

Generate an AI voiceover that sounds natural and human, or use AI voice cloning to keep one presenter consistent across markets and campaigns. Dub a single script into 175+ languages and dialects with synchronised lip movement, so global teams can deliver the same message without re-recording any voiceovers.

Easily add AI B-roll, animations and visuals

Skip the stock footage search. The text-to-video generator manages video creation with scene-matched B-roll, animation, and visuals using AI models such as Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.0. Every AI-generated shot clearly connects back to your prompt.

Captions, subtitles, and worldwide delivery

Word-synced captions and subtitles are generated automatically with the AI subtitle generator. Localise captions in over 175 languages in the same render, on any video. Accessibility, global reach, and engaging videos are delivered together in a single pass, not through three separate workflows.

High-quality export and 4K delivery

Export high-quality video in 4K MP4 (16:9, 9:16, or 1:1) from a single project, ready for YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, or your LMS. Brand kits keep typography, colours, and logos consistent across every video cut, so a simple text prompt powers every channel.

Use cases

Real-world uses of text-to-video AI

Marketing videos and campaigns

Marketing teams often wait for weeks for edits and translations. Paste a campaign brief, choose a presenter, and generate video content for promo, product, and demand generation.

Training and onboarding

L&D teams replace outdated modules and time-consuming reshoots with text-driven training videos. Update the script, regenerate, and push it to your LMS or training workflow.

YouTube content and social media

Content creators rarely have access to a full film crew. Simply paste your script into the video prompt, choose a presenter, and quickly create vertical or horizontal clips for YouTube, TikTok, and Reels.

E-commerce and product videos

Studios and shoots delay ecommerce launches. Drop in your product copy, generate a presenter-led explainer with automatic B-roll, and publish it to your store, ads, and social channels.

Educators, courses, and explainer videos

Course creators deliver lessons faster. Turn an outline into short videos, animated videos, and a narrated lesson with captions and translations in just a few minutes.

Sales outreach and personalisation

Generic sales emails slow down your pipeline. Create video clips and turn your text into video at scale, addressing each prospect by name and specific use case.

Filmmakers and cinematic content

Filmmakers often spend days and a large part of their budget shooting scenes that a simple prompt could generate first. Turn your script into a video prompt and create cinematic AI b-roll with Seedance.

Enterprise video at scale

Paste a brief, pick an approved presenter, and generate on-brand video with SSO, role-based access, and SOC 2 Type II compliance built in.

How it works

How to convert any text into a video

Create a polished text-to-video AI clip in four steps, going from a simple text prompt to a share-ready render in just a few minutes.

FAQs About Text-to-Video

What is an AI text-to-video generator and how does it work?

An AI text to video generator (also called an AI text-to-video tool) converts written input into a video with a presenter, voiceover, captions, and visuals. You paste a text prompt, choose a style, and the AI video generator from text creates an AI-generated video in a few minutes.

How can I create a video from a script using AI text-to-video?

Paste your script into the editor, choose a presenter and voice, then refine the visuals, captions, and music. The AI text-to-video engine automatically renders videos from text prompts, and the AI converts the script into a finished video within minutes.

Can I generate videos in multiple languages with subtitles?

Yes. The AI video translator dubs your video into 175+ languages with synchronised lip movement and auto-generated captions. Captions, subtitles, and voiceovers are localised in the same render, so global teams can use a single script across every market.

Which is the best free text-to-video AI app?

HeyGen is the best free AI text-to-video tool and a powerful free AI video generator. The free plan gives access to 700+ presenters, 175+ languages, and the engine that over 85,000 businesses use. Customers report up to 70% reduction in production costs on paid plans.

Can ChatGPT convert text to video?

No. ChatGPT is a text generation model and cannot convert text to video natively. HeyGen is the AI video generator (a generative AI text-to-video generator) that turns your prompt into a complete video with a presenter, voice-over, captions, and B-roll within minutes.

Does text-to-video AI deliver tangible business results?

Yes. Würth Group reduced translation costs by 80% and delivered a 65-minute presentation in 8 languages within 4 days. Customers report up to 70% lower production costs and 62% faster training video creation across their teams.

Can I use AI text-to-video videos for commercial purposes?

Yes. Videos generated on paid plans are licensed for commercial use across marketing, sales, training, and product channels. Brand kits keep logos, typography, and colours consistent, so every video goes out on-brand and ready for ads, landing pages, and outreach.

Can I edit specific parts of a generated text-to-video?

Yes. Update the script and the AI video editor regenerates only the changed section, so you avoid re-recording or rebuilding from scratch. Swap the presenter, voice, captions, or B-roll any time without redoing the video editing from the beginning.

How much time does it usually take to generate a video with text to video AI?

Most AI video generation completes in minutes, not hours. A typical 1 to 3 minute script becomes a finished video within a few minutes, including voice-over, captions, and AI-generated B-roll. Longer scripts may add a few extra minutes per language.

Can I use my own voice or my own presenter avatar?

Yes. Record a 15-second clip and the platform builds a custom presenter and a high-fidelity cloned voice. Reuse them across every text-to-video project so the same on-brand AI tool delivers in any language without re-filming.

How much does text to video AI cost in total?

A free plan covers core video creation across video tools and the AI generator. Paid plans start at $24 per month for higher resolution, longer videos, brand kits, and team seats. The Enterprise plan includes SSO, SOC 2 compliance, GDPR, and SCORM export.

Can I convert a blog post, image, or PDF into a video?

Yes. Drop in a blog post URL, paste a long-form article, or upload a PDF to video and the platform pulls out the script, selects scenes, and renders the complete video. Image to video, AI image B-roll, and multilingual captions are all generated in a single pass.
