To turn a Google Doc into a video, copy the section you want into Faceless and trim it to about 150 words per minute of video. Pick a voice and a visual style and generate. Faceless narrates the text with an AI voice, adds captions and a picture for each scene, and never needs access to your Drive.

## Why convert google doc to ai video?

Google Docs is where many teams already write, comment on and approve scripts. Faceless picks up from there: the approved text goes in, a narrated, captioned video comes out, and the document never leaves your Drive. It suits explainers, lessons, internal updates and short-form scripts alike. The Storyboard style costs 20 credits a video, and plans start at $29/month.

## How the conversion works

1

### Write the doc to be read aloud

Short sentences, one idea per paragraph, and full sentences instead of bullets: a bullet list reads as fragments when a voice says it. Spell numbers and abbreviations the way they are spoken.

2

### Copy one section

Select the section in Google Docs and copy it. Faceless never opens the document, so you do not change its sharing settings or connect your Drive. Images in the doc are not carried over; Faceless makes its own visuals.

3

### Trim it to the video's length

About 150 words make a minute of narration, and one Faceless video runs up to 90 seconds (about 225 words). Split a longer doc into parts, one per heading.

4

### Pick a voice, a language and a visual style

Use the same voice for every part of a multi-part doc so the series sounds continuous. Faceless narrates in more than 90 languages.

5

### Generate, review and export

Faceless narrates the text, syncs captions and gives each scene a picture that matches it. Fix anything in the editor, then download the MP4 or post it to a connected channel.

FAQ

## Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our platform

### Do I need to share the Google Doc or connect Google Drive?

No. You copy the text and paste it into Faceless. The document, its comments and its sharing settings stay as they are, and nothing else in your Drive is read.

### Do headings, bullets and images in the doc carry over?

Only the text does. Headings are read like any other line, so delete the ones you do not want spoken, and turn bullets into full sentences. Faceless generates its own picture for each scene instead of using the doc's images.

### How much of a Google Doc fits in one video?

Up to about 225 words, since one video runs up to 90 seconds at roughly 150 spoken words a minute. A 2,000-word doc becomes a series of shorter videos, one per section, in the same voice.

### Can my team write scripts in Google Docs and make the videos in Faceless?

Yes, and it is a common setup: drafts and comments stay in Docs, and whoever produces the video pastes the approved version into Faceless. The video says exactly what was approved.

### What if the AI voice mispronounces a name in my doc?

Spell the word the way it sounds in the text you paste (for example "Nguyen" as "Win") and generate again, then correct the caption's spelling in the editor. The doc itself keeps the right spelling.
