AI Podcast Generator
Go from text to podcast in minutes with HeyGen’s free AI podcast generator, which turns any topic, URL, or PDF into a two-host video podcast led by lifelike AI hosts.
Key featuresFeatures of AI Podcast Generator
Turn any content into a podcast
Paste a script, drop a PDF, or share a URL. The AI podcast generator pulls out the substance, drafts a clean episode structure, and lines up every scene. Turn any text, meeting notes, or lecture notes into podcast creation that sounds natural.
Realistic AI voices and voice cloning
Choose from 300+ natural-sounding AI voices in the AI voice generator library, or upload your own voice for a 30-second clone. Hit publish in your accent and reach a global audience across 177+ languages and dialects, without ever re-recording a single line.
Two-host conversations on demand
Generate dynamic two-host conversational episodes where each speaker has a distinct voice, pacing, and personality. The AI podcast generator automatically splits dialogue, handles turn-taking, and keeps the back-and-forth natural, so the podcast sounds like a real conversation and not a robot reading aloud.
Audio or video podcast in one click
Ship a tight MP3 for Spotify or a video podcast with a lifelike lip-synced avatar for YouTube. Add chapter markers, intros, outros, and background music inside the AI video editor without switching tools. One workflow handles both audio content and video content.
Repurpose long episodes into short clips
Drop a 60-minute episode in and get cut-down social clips out the other side. Instant Highlights v2 finds the strongest moments, adds word-synced captions through the subtitle generator, and exports faceless video in vertical formats ready for Reels, Shorts, TikTok and any short-form feed.
Use casesUse cases for AI Podcast Generator
Podcasters without a studio
A solo creator with no mic or editing software pastes a weekly outline, picks two AI hosts, and uploads a finished MP3 to Spotify or Apple Podcasts the same day.
Educators and course creators
A course creator turns each module's lecture notes into a short two-host episode students can play on the bus, then exports a video version with an avatar host for the course's YouTube channel.
Newsletter and blog repurposing
A newsletter writer pastes each issue's URL and publishes it as an audio episode for subscribers who prefer listening, so the hours spent writing reach a second audience without a recording session.
Marketing teams scaling content
A product marketing team writes one launch explainer, generates the episode once, and publishes it in Spanish, Japanese, and German with AI dubbing, so every region hears the launch the same week.
Sales enablement briefings
A sales enablement lead uploads release notes and product FAQs as a PDF and sends reps a private audio briefing for the commute. When the product changes, they update the script and regenerate.
Internal comms and training
An internal comms manager replaces the all-hands recap with a six-minute episode, ships audio to global teams who listen offline, and adds an avatar host for the video version on the intranet.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does HeyGen compare to NotebookLM and other AI podcast generators?
Most AI podcast tools, including NotebookLM, stop at audio. HeyGen renders audio and video podcasts with a realistic AI spokesperson as the avatar host, clones your voice, and translates into 177+ languages from the same draft.
What is an AI podcast generator and how does it work?
An AI podcast generator turns written content into a podcast episode using AI voices, automated pacing and audio polishing. Paste a script, PDF or URL, and the system drafts the show, picks voices, and renders the file.
Is the AI podcast generator free?
Yes, with no credit card. The free plan covers short episodes, a starter library of AI voices, and watermarked MP4 export. Paid plans unlock longer episodes, voice cloning, 4K export and unrestricted formats.
What can I upload, and how long does an episode take?
Paste plain text or a script, upload PDF, DOCX or PPT, or share a URL. A 5 to 10 minute episode usually renders in 3 to 8 minutes. Longer episodes scale linearly.
Can I clone my own voice for my podcast?
Yes. Record a 30-second sample and the system captures your tone, pace and inflection. Every episode after that sounds like you read it without opening a microphone again.
Can I publish the same episode in multiple languages?
Yes. Video episodes support 177+ languages and dialects with native dubbing. Würth Group shipped a 65-minute presentation in eight languages in four days using the same workflow.
Where can I publish, and what formats does it export?
Export MP3 for audio platforms or MP4 for video podcasts, then upload to your podcast host the same way you would a recorded episode. Point your RSS feed at the file.
Can I add background music, and can I edit before publishing?
Yes to both. The editor includes a royalty-free music library, fade controls and sound effect drops. You can tighten lines, swap a voice mid-episode, re-order segments or insert your own audio clips before rendering.
What kind of content sounds best as an AI podcast?
Long-form written content with a clear argument. Blog posts, newsletters, research notes, course modules, internal memos and slide decks. Anton Voroniuk reaches 1M+ students, saving 15.5 hours weekly and producing audio 40x cheaper.
Can I make a video podcast without appearing on camera?
Yes. Use an avatar host instead of recording yourself. If you would rather have narrated footage, graphics and captions with no on-screen presenter, use the faceless video workflow.
