Features of the article to video generator

Convert text to video from any link

Drop in any article URL or upload the text, and the converter pulls the key points. The AI analyzes the page, structures the content, and builds an outline, working like a url to video flow that turns written content into a finished video without setup.

Turn written content into a script

Long articles rarely work word for word on screen. The converter rewrites your text into a tight, spoken script, then lets you refine tone with a simple prompt. A built-in video script generator and connected AI tools keep structure clean from the first draft.
