How it works
Four steps from a sheet of numbers to a video that lands the point.
No charting add-ins, no slide-by-slide rebuild, no screen-recording a scroll. Bring the figures, review the plan, hit render. Spreadsheet upload is coming soon; the text path covers the same workflow today.
Bring the numbers
Upload the .xlsx once spreadsheet support ships, or paste the figures as text now. ngram reads each metric, label, and period as a separate data point.
Numbers become a storyline
Each KPI becomes a scene. ngram ranks the figures, drafts a voiceover that explains the trend behind each one, and picks the chart treatment that fits the data.
Review the storyboard
Reorder scenes, rewrite a callout, or change which number leads. Tell ngram in plain language and it regenerates only the scene you touched.
Render and share
Export MP4 in 16:9, 1:1, or 9:16. Drop it on a hosted /watch page for the board recap, push it to LinkedIn, or hand it to the team in Slack.
Output controls
Sensible defaults. Real controls when the data earns them.
Chart scenes that match the metric
A revenue trend reads as a line; a regional split reads as bars; a single headline number reads as a counter that ticks up. ngram picks the chart per data point instead of pasting a flat screenshot of the sheet.
Voiceover that explains the why
Numbers without context bounce. ngram narrates the move behind each figure (what grew, what slipped, what to watch) so a viewer who skipped the sheet still gets the story.
Tone matched to the audience
Measured for a board update, brisk for an internal all-hands recap, confident for an investor cut. Pick a brand voice or use your own from /app/settings/voice.
Burned-in captions for the figures
Every metric and label burns in as a caption styled to the brand kit, so the video reads on a muted all-hands screen or inside an email preview.
Brand kit on every chart
Logo, palette, and font stack from /app/brand-kit apply to each chart scene. The Q1 update and the Q2 update look like the same company, not two random dashboards.
Localized cuts from one sheet
Render the same metrics video as a German board recap and a Spanish regional update. Voiceover, on-screen labels, and captions translate together.
One sheet, three formats
Export the same figures as a 16:9 hosted recap, a 1:1 LinkedIn post, and a 9:16 vertical for the team channel. One source, three cuts, no manual reframe.
Built for team workflows
Your source files stay in your workspace, and you can delete your account and data anytime from Settings. Talk to sales about security, access controls, and data handling for your team.
The rest of ngram
Excel to video is one node. The product is the whole pipeline.
Motion graphics
The number that sat in cell B7 animates in as a counter; the quarterly trend draws on as a line. ngram builds the chart motion for each metric so the data moves, instead of sitting still as a pasted screenshot.
Learn moreScript generation
ngram turns a column of figures into spoken narration that names the trend behind each one. The board sees the chart; the voiceover tells them what the chart means.
Learn moreAI voiceover
Narrate the metrics in a voice that fits the room: measured for a finance review, upbeat for a growth recap. ElevenLabs and MiniMax under the hood, or clone your own voice.
Learn moreBrand kit
Every chart scene picks up the workspace logo, palette, and type. Finance, ops, and marketing all publish metrics videos that look like one company, not five spreadsheet exports.
Learn moreCaptions
Each figure and label burns in as a styled caption. Useful when the metrics video autoplays muted on the all-hands TV or sits at the top of a board-update email.
Learn moreMulti-format export
Render the same Excel figures once and export a 16:9 hosted recap, a 1:1 LinkedIn card, and a 9:16 vertical for the team channel, with smart reframing per ratio.
Learn moreUse cases
Where a sheet of numbers becomes a video people finish.
Investor updates from the model
The monthly metrics in your Excel model become a 90-second investor video: revenue, burn, runway, each as an animated chart scene with narration that explains the move.
See use caseQBR decks that play instead of present
Export the account's usage and outcome numbers from your QBR sheet and ship a branded video the customer watches before the call, so the meeting starts past the data review.
See use caseRoadmap and metric updates for stakeholders
Adoption, usage, and progress figures from the tracking sheet become a short stakeholder video. Re-render next sprint when the numbers change, no rebuild from scratch.

Pull spend, CAC, and conversion numbers from the campaign sheet into a recap video for the marketing channel, so the team sees what moved without opening a pivot table.
See use caseCompany metrics the all-hands watches
The quarterly numbers in the shared sheet open nobody's tab. The 3-minute branded video from the same figures gets watched in the all-hands and reshared in Slack.
See use caseMeeting recaps with the data attached
Turn the numbers reviewed in a planning meeting into a recap video for anyone who missed it. The figures stay on screen long enough to read, with narration on the decisions.
See use caseProposal walkthroughs backed by numbers
ROI projections and pricing tiers from your proposal sheet become a branded walkthrough video the buyer can replay and forward to the rest of the committee.
See use caseLaunch metrics for the announcement
Beta results, benchmark gains, and adoption numbers from the launch sheet ride into the feature-announcement video as animated proof, not a wall of bullet points.

Different source material? There's a converter for that.
Excel to video shares the same agentic pipeline, brand kit, and export options as ngram's other converters. Different input, same output muscle.
When the figures live inside a written report instead of raw cells, the report converter reads the prose around the numbers and builds the same kind of metrics video.
Open converterWhen your update is a written doc with tables and headings rather than a bare spreadsheet, docs to video reads the structure and turns each section into a scene.
Open converterWhen the numbers already sit in a deck of chart slides, ppt to video turns each slide into a narrated scene without rebuilding the charts by hand.

Generating from scratch
When you only have the numbers and no footage yet
Text to Video
Paste a single headline figure and a sentence of context to get one standalone scene. Useful for pulling the quarter's hero number out of a longer metrics video.
Open toolAI Video Generator
Prompt the full metrics video from a written summary when the spreadsheet is still a rough draft and you only have the takeaways, not clean cells.
Open toolText to Speech Video
Turn a short figures summary into a narrated clip without a storyboard pass. Faster and lighter when you just need a voiced read of the numbers.
Open toolAI Avatar Video Generator
Wrap the metrics narration in a talking-head presenter instead of charts alone. Good for investor and board updates where a human face carries the trust.

How it compares
If you've been doing this another way.
Data-viz tools animate a single chart but leave you to record, narrate, and brand it yourself. Screen-recording tools just capture you scrolling the sheet. ngram reads the figures and builds a narrated, branded metrics video end to end.
