Convert a PDF into an AI explainer video
Upload a PDF and the API produces an explainer video — narrated voice-over, on-screen highlights, and pacing tuned for video rather than audio. Used by sales teams turning whitepapers into video assets, and by educators producing video versions of dense documents.
How it works
- Step 1Submit your PDF
Send the PDF to the AutoContent API as a URL, file upload, or pasted text. The API accepts most public sources directly and supports authenticated uploads for private content.
- Step 2Pick your tone and voices
Choose from 50+ AI voices and a handful of presets that shape pacing, formality, and length. Defaults work for most use cases — tweak when the video is heading somewhere brand-sensitive.
- Step 3Receive your video
Generation typically completes in under five minutes. The API returns the finished video plus a transcript, share URL, and metadata you can plug into your existing distribution stack.
Frequently asked questions
How long are the videos?
Most outputs run 90 seconds to 5 minutes depending on document length. Longer source PDFs produce multi-part series rather than a single long video.
Can I customise the video style?
Voice, pacing, and aspect ratio are configurable via the API. Visual style (text-overlay, motion graphics) is set per video preset.
Is the output suitable for YouTube and LinkedIn?
Yes. Output formats and aspect ratios cover horizontal (YouTube), square (LinkedIn), and vertical (Reels/Shorts).
