Text to video

Scale video production with text-to-video AI

Features

Everything you can do with text to video AI

Turn scripts into lifelike presenter-led videos

Paste a script, and the text-to-video generator delivers a finished take in minutes. Avatar V includes full upper-body movement and natural delivery for long-form scripts. Choose from 700+ avatars or build your own digital twin from a 15-second clip.

Multilingual voice and natural narration

Generate an AI voiceover that sounds human, or use AI voice cloning to keep one presenter across markets and campaigns. Dub a single script into 175+ languages and dialects with synced lip movement, so global teams deliver the same message without re-recording any voiceovers.

Easily add AI B-roll, animations and visuals

Skip the stock footage hunt. The text-to-video generator handles video creation with scene-matched B-roll, animation, and visuals using AI models such as Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.0. Each AI-generated shot links back to your prompt.

Captions, subtitles and global delivery

Word-synced captions and subtitles are produced automatically with the AI subtitle generator. Localise captions across 175+ languages in the same render, on any video. Accessibility, global reach and engaging videos ship together as one pass, not three separate workflows.

High-quality export and 4K delivery

Export high-quality video in 4K MP4 (16:9, 9:16, or 1:1) from one project, ready for YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, or your LMS. Brand kits keep typography, colours, and logos consistent across every video cut, so a simple text prompt feeds every channel.

Use cases

Real-world uses of text
to video AI

Marketing videos and campaigns

Marketing teams wait weeks for edits and translations. Paste a campaign brief, pick a presenter, and generate video content for promo, product, and demand gen.

Training and onboarding

L&D teams replace stale modules and slow reshoots with text-driven training videos. Update the script, regenerate, and push to your LMS or training workflow.

YouTube content and social

Content creators rarely have a film crew. Paste a script into a video prompt, pick a presenter, and publish vertical or horizontal clips for YouTube, TikTok, and Reels.

E-commerce and product videos

Studios and shoots slow down ecommerce launches. Drop your product copy in, generate a presenter-led explainer with automatic B-roll, and publish to your store, ads, and social.

Educators, courses, and explainers

Course creators deliver lessons faster. Turn an outline into short videos, animated videos, and a narrated lesson with captions and translations in minutes.

Sales outreach and personalisation

Generic sales emails stall pipelines. Generate clips and turn your text into video at scale, addressing each prospect by name and use case.

Filmmakers and cinematic content

Filmmakers burn days and budget shooting scenes that a prompt can generate first. Write a script-to-video prompt and generate cinematic AI b-roll with Seedance.

Enterprise video at scale

Paste a brief, pick an approved presenter, and generate on-brand video with SSO, role-based access and SOC 2 Type II compliance built in.

How it works

How to turn any text into a video

Create a finished text-to-video AI clip in four steps, from a simple text prompt to a share-ready render in minutes.

Learn more about text to video AI

What is an AI text-to-video generator and how does it work?

An AI text to video generator (also called an AI text-to-video tool) turns written input into a video with presenter, voiceover, captions, and visuals. You paste a text prompt, pick a style, and the AI video generator from text renders an AI-generated video in minutes.

How do I create a video from a script using AI text to video?

Paste your script into the editor, pick a presenter and voice, then refine visuals, captions and music. The AI text-to-video engine automatically renders videos from text prompts, and the AI turns the script into a finished video in minutes.

Can I generate videos in multiple languages with subtitles?

Yes. The AI video translator dubs your video into 175+ languages with synced lip movement and auto-generated captions. Captions, subtitles, and voiceovers localise in the same render, so global teams ship one script across every market.

What is the best free text-to-video AI app?

HeyGen is a leading free AI text-to-video tool and a powerful free AI video generator. The free plan gives you access to 700+ presenters, 175+ languages, and the engine used by 85,000+ businesses. Customers report production cost reductions of up to 70% on paid plans.

Can ChatGPT turn text into video?

No. ChatGPT is a text generation model and cannot convert text to video natively. HeyGen is the AI video generator (a generative AI text to video generator) that turns your prompt into a complete video with a presenter, voiceover, captions and B-roll in minutes.

Does text to video AI deliver real business results?

Yes. Würth Group cut translation costs by 80% and delivered a 65-minute presentation in 8 languages in 4 days. Customers report up to a 70% reduction in production costs and 62% faster training video creation across their teams.

Can I use AI text-to-video videos for commercial purposes?

Yes. Videos generated on paid plans are licensed for commercial use across marketing, sales, training, and product channels. Brand kits keep logos, typography, and colours consistent, so every video ships on-brand and ready for ads, landing pages, and outreach.

Can I edit parts of a generated text-to-video video?

Yes. Update the script and the AI video editor regenerates only the changed section, so you skip re-recording or rebuilding from scratch. Swap the presenter, voice, captions, or B-roll any time without redoing video editing from scratch.

How long does it take to generate a video with text to video AI?

Most AI video generation runs in minutes, not hours. A typical 1 to 3 minute script becomes a finished video in minutes, including voice-over, captions, and AI-generated B-roll. Longer scripts add a few minutes per language.

Can I use my own voice or my own presenter avatar?

Yes. Record a 15-second clip and the platform builds a custom presenter and a high-fidelity cloned voice. Reuse them across every text-to-video project so the same on-brand AI tool delivers in any language without re-filming.

How much does text to video AI cost?

A free plan covers core video creation across video tools and the AI generator. Paid plans start at $24 per month for higher resolution, longer videos, brand kits and team seats. Enterprise includes SSO, SOC 2 compliance, GDPR and SCORM export.

Can I turn a blog post, image or PDF into a video?

Yes. Drop in a blog post URL, paste a long-form article, or upload a PDF to video and the platform pulls the script, picks scenes, and renders the full video. Image to video, AI image B-roll, and multilingual captions all ship in one pass.
