Word to Video for documents ready to become a visual story
Bring the Word document where the message has already been written and reviewed. Turn it into a branded video, then keep the visuals, voice, captions, and audience versions connected as the source evolves.

How it works
Four steps from a Word doc to a video that holds attention.
No timeline, no scene-by-scene scripting, no manual layout work. Paste the doc text, review the plan, hit render.
Paste the Word doc text
Open the .docx, copy the body, and paste it into ngram. The agent reads the Word headings (Heading 1, Heading 2), numbered lists, bullet hierarchy, and bold callouts from the pasted text. Direct .docx file upload is coming soon.
Structure becomes story
Each Heading 2 becomes a scene. Numbered steps become sequence cards. Bold callouts become emphasis frames. The agent writes the voiceover script from the doc's actual prose.
Review the storyboard
Approve, reorder, or rewrite scenes in plain language. Swap visuals, tighten copy, set tone. Every change is one chat turn, no Word formatting to fight.
Ship and share
Export MP4 in 16:9, 1:1, or 9:16. Publish to a hosted /watch page, push to LinkedIn, or hand the link off in Slack.
Output controls
Sensible defaults. Real knobs when the Word doc earns them.
Heading-aware scene breaks
Word's Heading 1, 2, and 3 styles become real scene boundaries, not arbitrary 7-second chunks. Long sections split on natural paragraph beats from the doc.
Verbatim or rewritten script
Keep the doc's exact wording for policy and SOP language, or let the agent rewrite long Word paragraphs for spoken voiceover. Toggle it per scene.
Voiceover that matches the doc's tone
Formal for a handbook, conversational for an onboarding guide, dry for a compliance memo. Pick a brand voice or clone your own from /app/settings/voice.
Burned-in captions
Auto-generated and styled per brand kit. Numbered steps from the doc stay on screen long enough to read; pulled quotes hold for emphasis.
Motion graphics for Word lists and tables
Bullet hierarchies animate in. Numbered Word steps stack as counter cards. Tables pasted from the doc render as branded scene cards.
Brand kit applied per scene
Logo, palette, font stack, and approved phrases from /app/brand-kit land on every card. A new Word doc, the same on-brand video.
Localized edits prepared separately
Render the same Word doc as a German handbook video, a Spanish SOP, or a Portuguese training module. Captions, on-screen text, and voiceover all swap together.
Separate format edits from one doc
Prepare a 9:16 all-hands edit, a 1:1 LinkedIn edit, or a 16:9 hosted-page edit from the same Word source. Review each cut separately before exporting one MP4.
The rest of ngram
Word to video is one node. The product is the whole pipeline.
Script generation
Dense Word prose rarely reads well out loud. The agent rewrites long paragraphs for the ear while keeping the doc's meaning and the order of your headings intact.
Learn moreAI voiceover
Narrate the Word doc in a voice that fits the audience: measured for compliance, warm for onboarding, brisk for a change memo. ElevenLabs and MiniMax under the hood.
Learn moreMotion graphics
Word bullet lists animate in. Numbered SOP steps build as counter cards. Bold pull-quotes hold long enough for the viewer to read them. No After Effects required.
Learn moreBrand kit
Every Word-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 moreCaptions
Captions burn into every export, so the doc's video version reads on a muted all-hands screen or inside a help-center embed without sound.
Learn moreTranslation
Turn one Word source into localized policy videos and SOPs. Voiceover, captions, and on-screen text all translate together from the same doc.
Learn moreUse cases
Where the Word doc nobody reads becomes a video that gets watched.
Employee handbook .docx as a watch-once video
Turn the 40-page Word handbook into a 6-minute branded video new hires actually finish. Edit the doc, re-render, no re-record cycle.
See use caseWord policy updates teams sign off on
Each numbered section of the policy doc becomes a scene. Pair it with a quick acknowledgement so legal has a paper trail and the doc finally has a viewer.
See use caseSOP and process docs as training modules
An ops SOP or a tooling runbook written in Word becomes a modular training video. Steps stay numbered on screen; headings become chapter breaks.
See use caseStrategy docs people watch instead of skim
The quarterly plan in a shared Word file opens nobody's inbox. The 3-minute branded video from the same doc gets watched at the all-hands and reshared in Slack.
See use caseAnnouncement docs as company-wide videos
A reorg memo, policy rollout, or culture update drafted in Word ships as a branded video straight from the doc. Same wording, far more reach.
See use caseWord playbooks as enablement videos
Sales playbook docs and competitive briefs become branded enablement videos new reps watch in week one: same content, less reading, faster ramp.
See use caseProposal docs as a video walkthrough
Drop the proposal .docx in and ngram narrates the scope, milestones, and pricing as a branded video the buyer watches instead of scrolling past.
See use caseSetup guides as onboarding videos
The internal CS setup doc becomes a customer-facing video walkthrough. Same Word source text, branded scenes, and a separate reviewed edit for each channel.
See use caseHelp docs viewers watch in 90 seconds
A long Word help doc gets a 60-90 second video version embedded at the top. Deflects tickets and lifts self-serve completion.
See use caseOther converters
Not starting from Word? There's a converter for that.
Word to video is one of 30+ converters that run on the same agentic pipeline, brand kit, and export options. Swap the input format, keep the output quality.
When the source isn't strictly Word (a Google Doc, markdown, or a mix), the docs converter reads the same heading-and-list structure into a storyboard.
Open converterWhen the doc was exported or signed as a PDF (a locked handbook, a filed policy), convert it directly instead of copy-pasting the Word text back out.
Open converterWhen you only need a short passage from the doc, not the whole thing, drop it into text-to-video for a one-prompt render.

Tighten the Word doc first, or polish the video after.
Generating from scratch
When you only have the Word doc and no footage yet
Text to Video
Paste a single section of the Word doc and get a standalone short video. Handy for pulling one callout scene out of a longer handbook.
Open toolAI Avatar Video Generator
Wrap the doc's script in a talking-head presenter instead of motion graphics. Good for onboarding and policy videos where a human face carries the message.
Open toolText to Speech Video
Turn a Word passage into a narrated clip without a full storyboard pass. Faster and less branded, useful for an internal voice memo.
Open toolAI Video Generator
Skip the doc and prompt the whole video from scratch when the Word file is just a rough brief, not finished copy.
Open toolEditing the output further
After the Word-to-video render lands
Video Editor
Open the rendered doc video on the timeline. Trim a section that reads better as text, swap the visual on a single scene, or re-cut a 9:16 alt.
Open toolAdd Subtitles to Video
Layer extra subtitle tracks for localized versions of the same Word doc (German, French, Spanish) on top of the source render.
Open toolVideo Cutter
Slice a long handbook video into chapter-sized clips for in-app tooltips, Slack drops, or a chaptered help-center embed.
Open toolAdd Music to Video
Drop a licensed bed track under the voiceover for announcement and onboarding versions of the doc video.
Open toolPolishing the source first
Tighten the doc before it becomes video
Video Script Generator
Run the Word doc through the script generator to tighten long paragraphs and cut filler before the storyboard step. Better script in, better video out.
Open toolYouTube Title Generator
Once the doc video exists, get title options that match how teammates actually search for the handbook or SOP.
Open toolYouTube Description Generator
Auto-write a description that summarizes the doc and timestamps each heading-derived chapter for the hosted /watch page.
Open toolVideo Translator
Take the finished doc video and republish it in more languages. Captions, voiceover, and on-screen text all swap together.

Triggers, not logos. Wire Word to video into the workflow you already use.
Most Word docs live in OneDrive, SharePoint, or a wiki, not in a video tool. These triggers convert the .docx where it already sits and route the finished video back, no copy-paste step. Start from a template or wire your own with the REST API and self-managed webhook subscriptions for video.completed or video.failed.

How it compares
If you've been turning Word docs into video another way.
Avatar tools narrate the Word text over a presenter card. Screen-recording tools rely on someone reading the doc out loud. ngram reads the doc's heading structure and builds a branded motion-graphic video.
| Feature | ngram | Synthesia | Loom | Manual edit (Premiere or DIY) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reads Word structure (headings, 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 the new version, re-render | Re-record narration | Re-record screen | Re-edit from scratch |
| Brand kit across every render | Workspace brand kit auto-applied | 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 Word document | 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 Word 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 |
