Spreadsheet to video: turn rows and columns into a narrated data recap
Drop in the numbers from an Excel or CSV sheet and ngram plans a short data video: animated charts, a script that reads the trend out loud, brand kit, and captions. The tabular file pipeline is in build, so this converter is on the way, not live yet.

How it works
How spreadsheet to video will work once it ships.
No pivot tables, no chart-builder fiddling, no slide deck. Drop the sheet, review the data story, render a branded recap. Here is the flow the converter is being built to follow.
Drop the sheet in
Upload an XLSX, XLS, CSV, or TSV file, or paste the rows that matter. ngram will read the header row, the columns, and the figures, and detect which fields are dates, categories, and measures.
Numbers become a story
ngram will rank the rows by what changed most, pick the chart type that fits each comparison, and write a narration script that reads the trend in plain language instead of listing every cell.
Review the data story
Reorder the chart scenes, swap a bar chart for a line, change which column leads, or rewrite the takeaway in chat. Every change is one turn, no spreadsheet formula required.
Ship the recap
Export MP4 in 16:9, 1:1, or 9:16. Publish to a hosted watch page, push to LinkedIn, or hand the file to the board deck. Re-render the moment the next month's numbers land.
Output controls
Sensible defaults for data. Real controls when the numbers deserve them.
Chart type matched to the comparison
A month-over-month column gets a line chart, a category split gets bars, a share-of-total gets a donut. ngram reads the shape of the data and picks the chart that makes the point, not the default one.
Narration that reads the trend
Instead of reciting every cell, the script calls out the row that moved, the figure that beat plan, and the line item to watch. The voiceover sounds like an analyst summarizing, not a screen reader.
One scene per metric
Each KPI or column gets its own scene with the number animated up to its value. No 30-row table crammed onto a single frame that nobody can read on a phone.
Brand kit on every chart
Logo, palette, and font stack from the workspace brand kit color the bars, axes, and number cards. The revenue recap and the usage recap look like the same company made them.
Voiceover tuned to the audience
Measured for a board recap, brisk for an internal KPI update, warmer for a customer-facing usage report. Pick a brand voice or use a cloned voice from voice settings.
Burned-in captions and figure labels
Auto-generated captions plus on-screen labels that hold the exact figure long enough to read. The headline number stays legible when the recap autoplays muted in a Slack channel.
Localized number formats
Render the same sheet as an English revenue recap, a German KPI update, and a Spanish usage report. Captions, on-screen labels, and voiceover all switch together.
One sheet, three cuts
Export the same data recap as a 9:16 vertical for the all-hands, a 1:1 square for LinkedIn, and a 16:9 for the board deck. One source file, three aspect ratios.
The rest of ngram
Spreadsheet to video is one node. The product is the whole pipeline.
AI visuals for the data scenes
Between the chart frames, ngram generates brand-matched backgrounds and section cards so a numbers recap does not feel like a bare spreadsheet on screen. Useful for the intro and the closing takeaway scene.
Learn moreMotion graphics that animate the figures
Numbers count up to their value, bars grow in, and callout arrows point at the row that moved. The spreadsheet figure that mattered gets emphasis instead of sitting flat in a cell.
Learn moreAI voiceover for the data narration
Narrate the recap in a voice that fits the room: steady for a board update, upbeat for a growth milestone. ElevenLabs and MiniMax read the script the converter writes from your sheet.
Learn moreBrand kit across every chart
The workspace logo, palette, and fonts color every axis, bar, and number card. Finance, ops, and growth recaps all ship looking like one company built them, sheet after sheet.
Learn moreCaptions for muted autoplay
Burned-in captions and figure labels mean the data video still lands when it plays muted in a feed or on the all-hands screen. The headline metric reads even with the sound off.
Learn moreMulti-format export from one sheet
Render the same data recap as a vertical for social, a square for LinkedIn, and a widescreen cut for the board deck. One spreadsheet in, three publish-ready ratios out.
Learn moreUse cases
Where a spreadsheet becomes a video people actually watch.
KPI dashboards as a watchable update
The product metrics tab that lives in a shared sheet becomes a 90-second recap. The PM narrates which numbers moved instead of pasting a screenshot of the spreadsheet into Slack.
See use caseInvestor updates straight from the metrics sheet
The monthly metrics spreadsheet a founder already maintains turns into a branded investor recap. Revenue, burn, and growth read out loud over animated charts, no separate deck build.
See use casePitch the numbers without rebuilding a deck
Drop the traction tab from the model into a short data video for the raise. The figures animate, the script frames the trend, and the recap travels in an email better than an XLSX attachment.
See use caseQBR numbers customers sit through
The account-health spreadsheet behind a quarterly business review becomes a recap the customer watches before the call. Usage, adoption, and outcomes read as a story, not a wall of cells.
See use caseCampaign performance recaps from the report tab
The marketing performance spreadsheet turns into a results video for the channel review. Spend, conversions, and CAC animate scene by scene so the wins are obvious in 60 seconds.
See use caseAll-hands numbers nobody squints at
The company scorecard sheet becomes the data segment of the all-hands video. Each metric gets a clean animated scene instead of a tiny projected table only the front row can read.
See use caseROI numbers that win the review
The value-and-savings spreadsheet behind a proposal becomes a short recap the buyer can forward to their committee. The payback math animates instead of hiding inside a formula.

Different source material? Start from a converter that is live today.
Spreadsheet to video shares the same agentic pipeline, brand kit, and export options as ngram's live converters. While the tabular file pipeline is being built, these are working right now.
When the numbers already live in a finished PDF report, the report converter reads the document, pulls the headline figures, and narrates a recap. Live today, no waiting on the spreadsheet pipeline.
Open converterWhen the data sits inside a written doc with tables and commentary, docs to video reads the structure and builds a scene-by-scene video. The closest live route for narrative plus a few figures.
Open converterWhen the figures are already drawn as a static infographic, this converter animates the stats into a moving recap. A live option when the chart exists but the spreadsheet behind it does not.

Open toolAI Video Generator
Prompt the full recap from scratch when you would rather describe the data story than format a sheet. Useful for a quick metrics teaser before the dedicated converter ships.
Open toolAI Avatar Video Generator
Wrap the numbers narration in a talking-head presenter instead of bare charts. Good for an investor update or board recap where a familiar face delivers the figures.
Open toolText to Speech Video
Turn a written results summary into a narrated clip without a storyboard pass. Handy for a fast internal KPI memo when the recap does not need branded charts.
Open toolEditing the output further

Video Editor
Open the rendered recap on a timeline. Trim a chart scene that runs long, swap the order of two metrics, or cut a 9:16 version for the all-hands from the same data video.
Open toolAdd Text to Video
Stamp an extra figure, a footnote, or a source line onto a chart scene. Useful when a board recap needs the as-of date or a methodology note over the animated number.
Open toolVideo Cutter
Slice the long quarterly recap into one short clip per metric. Each KPI clip drops into its own Slack thread or in-app card instead of forcing one long watch.
Open toolAdd Music to Video
Drop a licensed bed track under the data narration so a growth-milestone recap feels like a celebration, kept low under the voiceover reading the numbers.
Open toolPolishing the source first
Tighten the data story before it becomes video
