To turn a PDF into a video, copy the section you want from the PDF and paste it into the box below, then pick a visual style, a voice and a length in Faceless. It writes narration from your text, adds word-timed captions and a picture for every scene, and renders a vertical video for 20 credits.

A PDF is usually too long for one short video: a 20 page report holds far more than the 150 words a 60 second video can say. The trick is to pick one finding, one chapter or one page of a handout per video. Faceless does not open the PDF file itself, so you copy the text out and paste it. It then writes a spoken script from that text, draws a picture for each scene, times captions to every word and renders a 9:16 video up to 90 seconds long. Each video in the Storyboard style costs 20 credits, and plans start at $29/month on the Starter plan.
Choose a single finding, chapter summary or page, not the whole document. The box takes up to 800 characters, roughly 120 to 140 words, which is about the right amount for one 60 second video.
Select the text in your PDF reader and copy it. Delete page numbers, headers, footnote markers and broken line breaks, and drop tables and charts, which do not read well aloud.
Paste into the box on this page, sign in, then choose a visual style, a narrator voice, the language and under 30, 30 to 60 or 60 to 90 seconds. Faceless writes the narration from your text to fit.
For a report or handout where a figure or term must be exact, turn on Approve each script first on the Posting step. You can edit the draft or replace it with your own words, and nothing is made or charged until you approve.
Faceless narrates what you gave it, so compare every number and name with the PDF. Change captions, pictures or the voice in the editor, then download it or post it to a connected YouTube, TikTok or Instagram account.
