Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What types of PDFs work best with pdf to video?

Documents with clear headings, bullet lists, and logical sections convert best because HeyGen can create distinct scenes from those structural cues, turning a PDF into a video. Slide decks, guides, manuals, reports, and whitepapers all produce excellent results when you convert PDF to video.


Do I need to record my own voice?

No. Pick from a library of natural AI voices or clone a voice with a short sample for consistent narration in your narrated video. You can also upload your own voiceover if you prefer full control over the narration in your engaging video.


How long will the generated video be?

Video length scales with your PDF length and chosen pacing. HeyGen offers controls for narration speed and scene timing so you can compress a long document into a short summary or produce a full-length walkthrough.

Can I edit the visuals and text after conversion?

Yes. Swap suggested images, adjust on-screen copy, change caption styling, or tweak timing. Regenerate any scene after edits without rebuilding the whole project to ensure your engaging video remains fresh.

Are captions and translations included?

Yes. HeyGen auto-generates captions and supports translation into many languages with synced voiceovers and subtitle timing for localized videos.
