Convert by ngram
Bring the document where the product knowledge, process, or policy already lives. Turn it into a clear branded video, then update the same project as the underlying information changes.
Video generation uses credits. Review your estimate in ngram. MP4 downloads require Basic or higher.

How it works
No timeline, no scene-by-scene scripting, no manual layout work. Paste the doc, review the plan, hit render.
Paste the document text or upload a PDF export. Review the plan to check the script, key points, and proposed video structure.
Each H2 becomes a scene. Numbered steps become sequence cards. Callouts become emphasis frames. The agent writes the voiceover script from the actual prose.
Approve, reorder, or rewrite scenes in plain language. Swap visuals, tighten copy, set tone. Every change is one chat turn.
Export MP4 in 16:9, 1:1, or 9:16. Publish to a hosted /watch page, push to LinkedIn, or hand off to Slack.
Output controls
H1, H2, and H3 become real scene boundaries, not arbitrary 7-second chunks. Long sections split on natural paragraph beats.
Keep the doc's exact wording for policy and SOPs, or let the agent rewrite for spoken voiceover. Toggle per scene.
Formal for handbooks, conversational for onboarding guides, dry for compliance. Pick a brand voice or clone your own from /app/settings/voice.
Auto-generated and styled per brand kit. Numbered steps stay visible long enough to read; quotes hold for emphasis.
Bullet hierarchies animate in. Numbered steps stack as counter cards. Markdown tables render as branded scene cards.
Logo, palette, font stack, and approved phrases from /app/brand-kit show up on every card. Different doc, same brand.
Translate the same doc into a German handbook video, a Spanish SOP, a Portuguese training module. Captions, on-screen text, and voiceover all swap.
Prepare a 9:16 all-hands edit, a 1:1 LinkedIn edit, or a 16:9 hosted-page edit from the same doc. Review each cut separately before exporting one MP4.
The rest of ngram
Turn dense prose into a spoken script that keeps the doc's meaning. The agent rewrites long paragraphs for ear, not eye, and preserves the order of your headings.
Learn moreNarrate the doc in a voice that fits the audience: measured for compliance, warm for onboarding, brisk for change management. ElevenLabs and MiniMax under the hood.
Learn moreBullet lists animate in. Numbered SOP steps build as counter cards. Pull-quote callouts hold long enough for the viewer to read them. No After Effects required.
Learn moreEvery doc-to-video render picks up the workspace logo, type, palette, and approved phrases. HR, ops, and policy videos stay visually consistent across the company.
Learn moreTurn on captions before export. Helpful when the video plays muted on the all-hands TV or inside a help-center embed.
Learn moreConvert the same source doc into localized policy videos and SOPs. Voiceover, captions, and on-screen text all translate together.

See use caseOther converters
Docs to video is one of 16+ converters that share the same agentic pipeline, brand kit, and export options. Different input, same output muscle.
When the doc lives as a PDF (handbook export, signed policy, archived guide), convert directly without copy-pasting the text.
Open converterWhen the source is a short brief or paragraph instead of a structured doc, drop into text-to-video for a one-prompt render.
Open converterWhen the doc is technical (API reference, README, integration guide), the product-docs converter respects code blocks and endpoint structure.
Open converterTools that pair with this converter
Generating from scratch
When you only have the doc and no footage yet
Paste a single passage from the doc and get a standalone short video. Useful for pulling a callout scene out of a longer handbook.
Open toolWrap the doc's script in a talking-head presenter instead of motion graphics. Good for onboarding and policy videos where a human face matters.
Open toolConvert a doc passage into narrated video without a storyboard pass. Faster, less branded, useful for internal voice memos.
Open toolSkip the doc and prompt the full video from scratch, handy when the written source is just a rough brief.
Open toolEditing the output further
After the doc-to-video render lands
Open the rendered doc video on the timeline. Trim sections that read better as text, swap visuals on a single scene, re-cut a 9:16 alt.
Open toolLayer extra subtitle tracks for localized versions of the same doc (German, French, Spanish) on top of the source render.
Open toolSlice a long handbook video into chapter-sized clips for in-app tooltips, Slack drops, or a chaptered help-center embed.
Open toolDrop in licensed bed music for announcement and onboarding videos, kept under the doc voiceover.
Open toolPolishing the source first
Tighten the doc before it becomes video
Run the doc through the script generator to tighten long paragraphs and strip filler before the storyboard step. Better script in, better video out.
Open toolOnce the doc video exists, get title and headline options that match how teammates actually search for it.
Open toolAuto-write a description that summarizes the doc and timestamps each H2-derived chapter for the hosted /watch page.
Open toolTake the finished doc video and republish it in additional languages. Captions, voiceover, and on-screen text all swap.
Open toolBuilt for teams
Handbooks, policy updates, all-hands recaps, and onboarding flows ship as branded video instead of doc links nobody opens.

How it compares
Avatar tools narrate doc text over a presenter card. Screen-recording tools rely on a person reading the doc out loud. ngram reads the doc's structure and builds a branded motion-graphic video.
| Feature | ngram | Synthesia | Loom | Manual edit (Premiere or DIY) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reads doc structure (H2, lists, callouts) | Yes, headings become scenes, lists become sequences | Extracts text; avatar narrates linearly | Live read, no structural parsing | Manual, depends on the editor |
| Time from doc to first cut | Minutes | Tens of minutes (record + edit) | Real-time + edit pass | Hours to days |
| Re-render when the doc changes | Paste new version, re-render | Re-record narration | Re-record screen | Re-edit from scratch |
| Brand kit across every render | Set up and select your Brand Kit | Template-level branding | No brand layer | Manual per project |
| Storyboard preview before render | Full scene plan, editable in chat | Generate first, edit after | No preview, live capture | Editor decides |
| Localized variants | Voiceover, captions, on-screen text translate together | Avatar voiceover per language | Re-record per language | Manual per language |
| Channel versions | Separate reviewed aspect-ratio edits from one doc | One format per export | 16:9 only | Manual reframe per format |
| API + agentic access | REST API with self-service API keys; MCP, Zapier, and n8n for documented workflows | API on paid plans | Limited API | None |
| Best when | You want branded, scene-based video directly from a structured doc | You want a talking-head presenter for the doc | You want a live walk-through with your voice | You have an editor and time to burn |
