How it works

Three steps. No timeline to edit.

  1. 1Upload the deck

    Speaker notes are used as the script if they are there; if not, we write one.

  2. 2We animate it

    Bullets build as they are explained, diagrams draw themselves and crowded slides are split.

  3. 3Get the video

    A finished lesson in your brand, with captions and quizzes.

Made for

Who uses PPT to video.

Questions

Before you start.

Do my speaker notes matter?

Yes. If your slides have notes, they become the narration, polished for speaking. Without notes, we write the script from the slides.

Will it keep my design?

It keeps your content and brand colours; layouts are redesigned so nothing is crowded on screen.

Can I add my own voice?

Yes: record yourself reading the script with our free teleprompter, or choose a narrator.
