Annual report to video: a year-in-review recap from your PDF
Upload your annual report, shareholder report, ESG report, or nonprofit impact report PDF. ngram reads the document, leads on the headline results, writes a narration script, and renders a branded recap video with voiceover and captions.

How it works
Four steps from a 48-page annual report to a two-minute recap.
No deck rebuild, no chart redraw, no recording booth. Upload the annual report, approve the summary storyboard, render the MP4.
Drop the annual report in
Native-text and scanned annual report PDFs both work. We OCR scans, parse the layout, and pull the CEO letter, section headings, body copy, KPIs, financial tables, and charts out of every page.
We summarize the year and script it
The agent ranks the year's results, opens on the headline number, folds each section into a scene, and writes the narration. A 48-page annual report does not turn into 48 talking slides.
Tune the storyboard
Every scene shows before render. Reorder the highlights, drop a section, animate a chart from the report, or ask in chat for a 3-minute board cut versus a 60-second shareholder recap.
Render and share
Export 16:9 for the investor portal, 1:1 for the LinkedIn results post, 9:16 for vertical. MP4, GIF, or WebM. Hosted page at /watch/, embed code, or direct download for the stakeholder email.
Output controls
What you control between the annual report and the final recap.
Results-first summarization
ngram does not narrate the annual report cover to cover. It ranks the year's results, opens on the headline metric, and folds supporting detail into later scenes, so the recap leads with the number shareholders came for.
Charts pulled from the report
Financial tables and charts inside the annual report are extracted and rebuilt as animated lower-thirds and callouts. A flat revenue chart on page thirty becomes a counting-up figure the viewer actually reads.
Summary script you edit in plain English
The narration appears scene by scene before any render. Trim a section, reorder the year's highlights, paste the CEO's exact framing, or cut the recap to fit a two-minute investor email.
Brand kit applied per scene
Logo, colors, fonts, and intro/outro from your brand kit stamp every scene. This year's annual report video and last year's come out looking like the same investor-relations team built both.
Voiceover from a library or your clone
Pick an ElevenLabs or MiniMax voice, or use a cloned voice from /app/settings/voice so the CEO narrates the year-in-review in their own voice. Voiceover regenerates when you edit the script.
Burned-in captions, brand-styled
Captions come from the same script the voiceover reads, so every figure stays exact. Leave them on for the muted LinkedIn cut of the annual report, toggle off for the investor-portal version.
16:9, 1:1 and 9:16 from one render
The storyboard reframes per aspect ratio. Ship a 16:9 cut for the investor portal, a 1:1 square for the results post, and a 9:16 vertical for the team channel, all from one annual report upload.
Multilingual annual report recaps
Translate the narration and re-render the voiceover in dozens of languages via ElevenLabs. Useful when a global company sends the same annual report recap to regional shareholders and staff.
The rest of ngram
The product behind the annual report converter.
Script Generation
Reads the CEO letter and section highlights of the annual report, then writes a narration that opens on the year's headline result and walks through the rest in priority order, not page order.
Learn moreMotion Graphics
Turns the annual report's KPIs and financial tables into animated stat reveals and lower-thirds. Revenue counts up, growth animates in, instead of a screenshotted chart sitting flat on a slide.
Learn moreAI Voiceover
Narrates the year-in-review in a brand-appropriate voice. Clone the CEO's voice for the shareholder cut, or generate the same annual report narration in a second language for regional stakeholders.
Learn moreAI Visuals
Fills the gap between dense annual report text and a watchable scene with branded backgrounds and B-roll, so a 48-page document does not render as forty-eight walls of bullet points.
Learn moreCaptions
Burned-in captions generated from the narration script, so every figure in the recap is exact. Critical when the annual report video plays muted in a LinkedIn feed or an investor-portal preview.
Learn moreBrand Kit
Applies your logo, colors, fonts, and intro/outro to every annual report video. The shareholder recap, the all-hands cut, and the LinkedIn results clip all carry one investor-relations brand.

Got a different source format?
Annual report is one of many converters that share the same summarize, script, voiceover, and brand-kit pipeline. Same engine, different inputs.
The closest sibling: any report, not only the annual one. Route quarterly, investor, financial, or QBR reports through the general report converter when the source is not the year-end document.
Open converterIf your file is a deck, one-pager, or whitepaper rather than a results report, the general PDF converter reads any document with the same outline-aware extraction and script-first pipeline.
Open converterWhen the year's results already live in a single data-dense infographic, this sibling animates each stat block into a moving recap instead of summarizing a multi-page annual report.

Open toolAdd Subtitles to Video
Burn in or export .srt captions matching the narration your annual report produced. Frame-accurate on every figure, so the numbers stay exact for the muted investor-portal view.
Open toolVideo Cutter
Pull one headline result out of the full annual report recap by transcript, not timeline. Post the single revenue stat to the team channel before the long shareholder version goes live.
Open toolAdd Music to Video
The agent picks a licensed track that matches the pacing of the narration, so a year-in-review recap does not feel like quiet voiceover read over a wall of financial figures.
Open toolGenerating from scratch
