Resume to Video for showing the work behind your experience
Use the resume as the factual source, then choose the experience and work that matter for the opportunity. Build a concise introduction that adds personality without inventing achievements or reading every line aloud.

How it works
Four steps from a 2-page resume to a video intro.
No teleprompter, no recording setup, no editing timeline. Upload the resume, approve the script, render the video.
Drop the resume in
Native-text and scanned resume PDFs both work. We OCR the scans and parse the layout, then pull your summary, roles, dates, achievements, and skills out of each section.
We write the intro
The agent groups your resume into scenes, opens with a hook, summarizes the strongest roles and wins, and closes on a call to connect. The script reads as a first-person introduction, not a list of bullet points.
Tune the storyboard
Every scene is visible before render. Swap the visuals, trim a role, change the tone from formal to warm, pick the voiceover, or ask in chat for a 30-second LinkedIn cut versus a longer portfolio version.
Render and share
Review the resume video for its intended channel, including its crop and caption placement, then export one MP4 from Studio. Prepare and review another aspect ratio as a separate edit. Use a separate one-file, one-output Video Converter job afterward for MOV, WebM, or MKV, or Video to GIF for a GIF.
Output controls
What you steer between resume and final cut.
Section-aware extraction
Your summary becomes the hook, each role becomes a scene, and your skills list becomes on-screen text. Dates and titles stay attached to the right job so the timeline reads in order.
Script you edit in plain English
The first-person intro appears scene-by-scene before any render. Cut a role you would rather not lead with, ask for a shorter hook, or paste a custom closing line. Edits ripple through pacing and captions.
Talking-head presenter or voice-only
Read the intro yourself as a talking head, pick an avatar to present it, or run a clean voiceover over branded scenes with no face on camera. Useful when you want a video resume without filming.
Voiceover from a library or your clone
Pick an ElevenLabs or MiniMax voice, or clone your own from /app/settings/voice so the intro sounds like you. The voiceover is spoken narration generated from your script, regenerated automatically when you change the words.
Brand kit for a consistent look
Apply your colors, fonts, logo, and intro and outro across every scene. The video resume, the LinkedIn cut, and the portfolio embed all come out looking like one consistent personal brand.
Burned-in captions, exact to the script
Captions are generated from the script the voiceover reads, not transcribed after the fact, so they match word for word. Leave them on for muted LinkedIn autoplay, toggle off for a portfolio embed.
Prepare each channel edit separately
Set the intended channel and aspect ratio for the resume video, then review the crop, caption placement, and CTA before exporting one MP4. Prepare another channel version as a separate edit.
Multilingual variants
Translate the intro script and regenerate the voiceover in another language via ElevenLabs. Useful when you are applying across regions and want a localized video resume per market.

Script Generation
Turns the body of your resume, like your summary, roles, and wins, into a first-person intro script with a hook, scene-by-scene narration, and a closing call to connect.
Learn moreAI Voiceover
Reads the intro generated from your resume in a voice you choose. Swap voices, clone your own so the video resume sounds like you, or regenerate the narration in a second language.
Learn moreAI Avatar Talking Head
Puts a presenter on camera reading your resume intro with synced lip movements. Use a stock avatar or your own face when you want a talking-head video resume without setting up a shoot.
Learn moreCaptions
Burned-in captions generated from the same script the voiceover reads. Essential for a video resume that autoplays muted in the LinkedIn feed before a recruiter taps for sound.
Learn moreBrand Kit
Applies your colors, fonts, logo, and intro and outro to every scene built from your resume, so the video reads as a deliberate personal brand instead of a default template.
Learn moreConvert the finished resume video
The resume 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.

Where a video version of your resume earns its keep.
A video intro pinned to your profile
Recruiters scroll LinkedIn before they open a PDF. Convert your resume into a 60-second intro reel, captioned and branded, and pin it to your featured section so your profile leads with a face and a voice.
See use casePitch yourself in the first ten seconds
A written application waits in a queue. A short video resume attached to a cold note gets watched. The same script that introduces your experience also works as the hook for a direct message to a hiring manager.
See use caseTurn your resume into brand content
Your resume already lists the work that built your reputation. Convert it into branded video that lives on your portfolio site and social, so your personal brand shows up the same way every time someone looks you up.
See use caseWarm up a recruiter cold open
Record nothing live. ngram drafts the intro from your resume and renders it as a short, watchable clip you can drop into a reply to a recruiter, so the first impression is a person, not a file attachment.
See use caseExplain your career in 90 seconds
A long resume hides the through-line. The video version walks through the arc, what you did, what changed, where you are headed, in a tight explainer that a hiring panel can watch before the interview.
See use caseA polished take without a film crew
Read your resume intro to camera and let ngram clean it up, or skip the camera entirely and use an avatar. Either way the talking-head cut comes out branded and captioned, not a shaky webcam recording.
See use caseCut your resume into shareable clips
Pull a 15-second highlight of your strongest role for a story, a longer feed version, or a vertical profile reel. Prepare and review each edit separately before exporting one MP4.
See use casePost the version each channel rewards
The feed wants square, the reel wants vertical, the portfolio wants widescreen. Prepare and review each channel edit separately before exporting one MP4.

Starting from a different document?
Resume is one of many converters that share the same extraction, script, storyboard, voiceover, and brand-kit pipeline. Same engine, different inputs.
The general document converter your resume rides on. Any PDF, like a deck, one-pager, or whitepaper, runs through the same page-aware extraction and script-first pipeline as a resume.
Open converterIf your resume still lives as an editable Google Doc or Word file, this sibling uses the same outline-aware extraction without an export to PDF first.
Open converterWhen your work lives on a portfolio site rather than a document, point ngram at the page and it builds the intro from the site copy instead of a resume file.
