Instagram video maker features
Reels and Stories from a script
Type or paste a script and HeyGen builds scenes, narration, and motion for your Instagram video. Add your own images, clips, or logo, then refine the media, captions, layout, and timing in AI Studio.

Choose portrait video for Instagram
Select a portrait 9:16 orientation for Instagram Reels and Stories. When the video is ready, choose an available resolution and download the finished file for upload to Instagram.

Customizable captions for silent viewing
Enable stylized captions in AI Studio, then edit the text and adjust the font, color, size, and position before exporting your Instagram video.

AI voiceover in 177+ languages
Add an AI voiceover or use voice cloning to keep a consistent voice across your Instagram videos. Choose a voice that fits your message, then update the script without recording from scratch.

Create and refine in one project
Start with a portrait Instagram video, then refine the media, captions, layout, timing, and transitions in AI Studio. Download the finished version when it is ready to post.


Posting a Reel a day is hard when every clip needs filming and editing. Describe the idea and the reel generator produces a finished vertical video, so you keep a daily cadence without a crew.

Announcing a product used to mean a shoot and an editor. Write what the product does and generate a demo Reel with a presenter, captions, and B-roll, ready to post the same afternoon.

Testing creative usually stalls on production time. Spin up an Instagram video ad from a script, then generate variations with different hooks and presenters to test what converts, all without a studio.

Teaching a concept on camera means endless retakes. Paste your steps and generate a clear talking-head Reel with on-screen captions, so followers can follow along even with the sound off.

Have photos but no footage? The image to video tool animates stills into moving Reels with pans, zooms, and transitions, turning a product gallery or event photos into a vertical video.

A single webinar or podcast can feed a month of posts. Generate short vertical cuts from one long recording, translate them, and publish Reels and Stories across markets from the same source.
How to make Instagram videos
Go from a script to a posted Instagram video in four steps, with no filming, timeline editing, or extra software.
Drop in a script, a topic, or a URL and the engine drafts the scenes and narration for you.
Choose portrait 9:16 for an Instagram Reel or Story, then review the layout and caption position before generating the video.
Select a voice, generate captions inside the safe zone, and adjust the presenter or brand colors.
Choose an available resolution, download the finished video as an MP4, and upload it to your Instagram account.
An Instagram video maker turns text into finished Reels, Stories, and feed videos without filming. You paste a script, pick a vertical format, and the tool generates scenes, a presenter, captions, and a voiceover you can post directly.
Choose a portrait 9:16 project for Reels or Stories, review the layout before export, and download at an available resolution. Instagram may still process uploaded videos, so preview the published result.
Paste your script into the editor, choose the Reels format, and the engine builds a vertical video with a presenter and captions. Adjust the voice, tweak any scene, then export as MP4 and post. Editing a line and regenerating replaces re-shooting.
Timeline and template editors need footage you have already filmed and edited by hand. HeyGen generates the video from a script, so you skip the shoot and produce presenter-led Reels, ads, and Stories at a daily cadence without a camera.
Engagement depends on the idea, hook, relevance, creative quality, and audience. HeyGen helps you create and revise video variations, but it does not guarantee engagement or campaign results.
