DistilBook turns a document into a video in three automated stages: it extracts the text, condenses it into a slide-by-slide script that you approve, then generates artwork and an AI voiceover for each slide. A 20 page document becomes an 8 to 12 slide video, with the first narrated slide playable about 3 minutes after upload.

How does it work?
Upload the document
PDF, DOCX, Markdown and TXT are accepted directly. Google Docs and Notion pages work through their public link. Scanned PDFs are read with OCR.
Approve the script
The AI writes one short narration per slide and pauses for your review. Edit any line, cut a slide, or ask for a rewrite before a single second of audio is generated.
Generate and watch
Each slide gets custom artwork in the style you picked, an AI voice in one of 20+ languages, and synced animations. Slides play as they finish.
Download or share
Export an MP4 at 720p, 1080p or 1440p, or publish a share link with subtitles generated from the narration.

Frequently asked questions
Which document formats can I convert to video?
PDF, Word (DOCX), Markdown and plain text upload directly. Public Google Docs, Notion pages and web articles convert through their URL. PowerPoint decks convert after a one-click export to PDF.
How long does a document to video conversion take?
The first narrated slide appears about 3 minutes after upload. A typical 10 slide explainer finishes in about 25 minutes in the motion style and about 20 minutes in the whiteboard style.
Does the video read the whole document word for word?
No. The AI summarises the document into at most 12 slides and writes a spoken narration for each, so a 30 page document becomes a 3 to 4 minute video rather than a 30 minute recital. If you want your exact wording spoken, paste it as the brief and turn on verbatim narration.
Can I keep my company's branding?
Yes. Add your logo, pick a brand colour pair, and choose from 20 visual styles. The same document produces a video that matches your existing training or marketing material.
Is the document to video converter free?
Generating and previewing is free with 10 credits on signup, which covers one narrated slide. Paid plans start at $15 per month for 170 credits, about 17 slides, with MP4 download and no watermark.
