By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a Youtube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features
[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!

Frequently Asked Questions

Bob, our kitten, thinking

Can I convert an article URL that I don't own?

Yes, Kapwing’s Article to Video tool enables you to convert any published URL into a video, even if the article wasn’t created by you or your organization. However, it’s essential to understand copyright laws and guidelines before using any content as your own. Be aware that using images from a URL you don’t own likely infringes on copyright. Transforming the content with original script, voiceover custom images, videos, and significant edits may qualify as Fair Use, but this is subjective and depends on the specifics of each case.

Can I upload an article that isn't published?

Yes, you can turn unpublished articles into videos without needing a URL. Navigate to the 'lightbulb' icon to access Kapwing's AI tools and select the 'Document to AI' feature. Copy and paste your text into the tool and click 'Generate Video'. Once the video is created, you can upload custom images or videos and add them to the editing timeline for personalized customization. This also applies to documents like PDFs — just copy and paste the content into Kapwing's 'Document to AI' tool to create your video.

What should I do if media from my article is missing in the video?

If your video has been created without pulling in your desired images then you have two options. Firstly, Kapwing recommends running the process again via the 'start over' button, which may provide the solution. Alternatively, you can upload missing media and directly add them to the Kapwing editor.

Does Kapwing add videos and embeds from articles?

No, currently Kapwing's AI-powered editor only pulls images from the submitted URL. However, we are working on an improved process to pull both videos and embedded content from platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter).

Can I add custom edits to the video?

Yes, after generating a video from your article, you can fully customize the content to suit your project. Remove images and videos, adjust subtitles, add sound effects, incorporate branding elements, or even record your own voiceover.

Is Kapwing's AI Article to Video Generator free?

Yes, Kapwing’s AI-powered Article to Video tool is available for free, allowing all users to export 5 minutes of content. To use Kapwing's AI tools for extended minutes, a paid subscription is required.

Can you convert documents to videos?

Yes, Kapwing's Article to Video Generator also supports converting a wide range of documents into videos. The tool will work as long as your document has a published URL, like a PDF report. Simply follow the same process: copy and paste your document's URL into the 'Use an Article URL' box. Alternatively, you can copy and paste the text from any document!

Is there a Kapwing watermark on exports?

If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports — including AI-generated content — will contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from your creations.
