Email to Video for messages that deserve more than an inbox
Start with an email campaign, newsletter, or company message your team has already approved. Turn the core story into a branded video and adapt it for the channels where the audience also spends time.

How it works
Four steps from a flat email to a video subscribers actually watch.
No Canva canvas, no Gmail-blocked autoplay, no Stack Overflow thread about embedding video in email. The send you already wrote becomes the script, and the script becomes a storyboard you can argue with before anything renders.
Paste the email or drop the issue URL
Subject line, preheader, body copy, bullets, and the click target, up to 10,000 words. If the issue is published to the web instead, paste the link and ngram fetches the article body with Firecrawl.
The agent rewrites the email as a video script
ngram finds the hook in your subject line, lifts the value out of the paragraphs, and keeps your CTA as the closing card. Headings become scene breaks, bullets become callouts, and the newsletter footer gets dropped.
Review the storyboard before render
Each scene shows the line of script, the visual direction, and the duration. Cut a section, rewrite the hook for the inbox preview, swap a visual, or ask for a 30-second cut in plain language. Every change re-flows the script.
Export the video, then prepare the thumbnail
Review the email video for its intended channel, including the crop and caption placement, then export one MP4 from Studio. Prepare and review another aspect ratio as a separate edit.
Output controls
Smart defaults from the email. Real knobs when you need them.
Subject line becomes the hook
The agent treats your subject line and preheader as the first three seconds of the video, the part that has to earn the watch in an inbox preview. Rewrite the hook in the storyboard if the email opener was built for skimming, not viewing.
Body copy mapped to scenes
Headings split the email into scene breaks, paragraphs become narration, and bullet lists become on-screen callouts. A 600-word campaign body comes back paced for a 60 to 90 second watch, not one slide per sentence.
Separate play-button thumbnail
Studio exports the reviewed video as one MP4. Create a branded play-button thumbnail separately in Image Lab or extract a still through the Repurpose Kit, then link it to the hosted video.
AI Visuals per scene
Each scene gets a brand-matched image or short generated clip tied to that paragraph's point. No keyword-matched stock footage that makes every campaign email look like the last one.
Brand Kit on every frame
Logo, fonts, colors, motion style, intro, and outro pulled from your saved Brand Kit. The video for issue 50 looks as on-brand as the welcome email's first send.
Voiceover from any saved voice
Read the email in a default ngram voice, your cloned founder voice, or a multilingual ElevenLabs voice. Pace and tone follow the script you approved in the storyboard.
Captions for muted inbox playback
Auto-generated captions burned into every export and styled to the Brand Kit. Subscribers reading in a muted Gmail tab still get the message you sent.
Prepare each channel edit separately
Set the intended channel and aspect ratio for the email video, then review the crop, caption placement, and CTA before exporting one MP4. Prepare another channel version as a separate edit.
The rest of ngram
What ngram does to an email that a drag-and-drop builder can't.
Script Generation
Reads the pasted email and rewrites it as a hook-body-CTA video script. Your subject line becomes the opener and your click target becomes the closing line, paced for a watch instead of a skim.
Learn moreAI Visuals
Each scene of the email-to-video gets a brand-matched image or short generated clip tied to that paragraph's meaning. The visuals follow your campaign copy, not a stock-clip lookup table.
Learn moreBrand Kit
Logo, fonts, colors, motion, intro, and outro applied to every scene built from your email. The same kit drives every future newsletter render, so the campaign stays on-brand at send-cadence speed.
Learn moreCaptions
Burned-in captions styled to your Brand Kit and generated from the same script. Subscribers who open the video in a muted inbox tab still read the words you wrote in the email.
Learn moreAI Voiceover
Narrate the email script in an ElevenLabs voice, your cloned voice, or a supported language. The voiceover reads the lines you approved in the storyboard, so the spoken email matches the written one.
Learn moreConvert the finished email video
The email video leaves Studio as a single MP4. Use Video Converter afterward to make one MOV, WebM, or MKV file; it is a separate one-file, one-output step.
Learn moreUse cases
Eight sends where an email-to-video earns the click.
Turn the campaign body into an email marketing video
Turn the send you A/B tested for two quarters into a captioned video. After export, prepare a play-button thumbnail separately for the inbox link.
See use caseShip a video version of this week's newsletter
Turn the draft into a 90-second clip for Substack, Beehiiv, or ConvertKit. Prepare the newsletter thumbnail as a separate task after reviewing the video.
See use caseLift click rate, not just open rate
Convert the email copy into a short video, then prepare the inbox thumbnail separately and link it to the hosted landing page.
See use caseSend the launch announcement as a watchable video
Use the launch email as the script for one reviewed 16:9 video. Prepare the inbox thumbnail separately, then link it to the launch page.
See use caseFeature emails become feature videos
Paste the what's-new email and get a 60-second video with motion graphics and a brand intro. The same copy ships to the inbox and the changelog without a second editing pass.
See use caseOutbound emails that loop a short clip
Convert your best cold-email paragraph into a short video. Prepare a play-button thumbnail separately, embed it in the first line, and link it to the finished video.
See use caseWelcome and activation emails with motion
The onboarding email sequence becomes a set of short step videos. New accounts watch the setup instead of reading it, so first-value lands sooner and week-one tickets drop.
See use caseRepurpose the send as a short social clip
Use the newsletter you already mailed as the source for a 30-second 9:16 social clip. Review that video as its own edit before publishing it alongside the email.

Source is a doc, a URL, or a PDF? Pick the converter that matches the input.
Email to video is one node on ngram's script and storyboard pipeline. Every text-source converter here shares the same scene planner, Brand Kit, and storyboard review. Choose the aspect ratio for the current edit, then prepare other channel versions separately.
When the copy isn't an email yet, just a draft, a prompt, or a chunk of writing. Same scene planner as email to video, with no inbox-specific framing applied.
Open converterWhen the campaign already lives behind a link. ngram fetches the page, strips nav and ads, and feeds the body to the same storyboard flow your pasted email uses.
Open converterWhen the newsletter started as a blog post with H2s and bullets. Same engine as email to video, with extra parsing for editorial article structure.

Sharpen the email before. Edit the video after.
Editing the video further
Take the email-to-video output past the first cut
Video Editor
Re-cut the rendered email-to-video, drop a scene, or swap a visual. The converted output opens straight in the timeline editor with the email script attached.
Open toolAdd Subtitles to Video
Captions are burned in by default; this tool exports an external .srt for a switchable caption track on the landing-page embed or the hosted player.
Open toolVideo Cutter
Pull a 15-second teaser from the full email-to-video for the inbox thumbnail or a social pre-roll. Trim by transcript line, not by dragging a timeline.
Open toolVideo Translator
Translate the email video's script, captions, and voiceover for a localized send list, with lip sync optional. Review and render each language version separately.
Open toolGenerating from scratch
If you don't have the email drafted yet
AI Video Generator
No email written yet? Brief the agent in a prompt and skip the paste step. The script is generated on the way to the same storyboard reviewer the email flow uses.
Open toolVideo Script Generator
Draft the campaign script first from a short brief, then run it through email to video for the visual render. Useful when the send is still an idea, not a draft.
Open toolText to Speech Video
A straight read-through of the email copy over brand visuals, with no avatar and no rewrite. Useful when you want the subscriber to hear the email exactly as written.
Open toolAI Avatar Video Generator
Have a talking-head avatar read the email on camera instead of voiceover-over-visuals. Same source copy, a presenter-led cut for the welcome or founder send.
Open toolPolishing the source first
Tighten the email before you convert it
URL to Video
If the issue is already published to the web, skip the paste step and let ngram fetch the page directly, with the same scene planner and one fewer copy step.
Open toolAI Image Generator
Pre-generate the play-button thumbnail on the same Brand Kit so the inbox preview and the video's first frame match before you schedule the send.
Open toolAudio to Text
Recorded the campaign idea as a voice memo? Transcribe it first, tidy the email copy, then paste the cleaned text into email to video.
Open toolAdd Text to Video
Stamp the offer, the discount code, or the CTA from your email onto the rendered scenes as on-screen text, so the click target survives even on a muted watch.

How it compares
If you've been using something else to put video in email.
Wistia and Vidyard host the video and hand you a thumbnail to paste in the email, but you still produce the video somewhere else first. BombBomb centers a webcam record for one-to-one sends. ngram reads the email body itself, plans a storyboard you can argue with before render, and applies the Brand Kit per scene, so the video reads like your campaign, not a generic clip dropped into a player.
