Did you know you could easily turn a PDF into a video using AI?
In 2025, turning a document into a short video is a smart move. Converting dense, written content into a more dynamic format makes it easier for your audience to digest the information, can increase your reach and engagement, and allows for better accessibility across multiple platforms.
Video is currently the most popular form of content because it combines visual and auditory stimuli, making it easier and more engaging to consume. Viewers can process information much more quickly (and passively) than if they were reading a piece of text.
People also watch videos because they’re an effective and emotive way to tell stories. Whether you’re scrolling through YouTube Shorts or getting drawn into a TikTok marketing video, it’s hard to deny that videos evoke strong emotions and deeper connections than text alone.
In this article, we’ll explore why turning a PDF file into a video can be beneficial. We’ll also show you how to do this in under ten minutes using Argil’s PDF to AI video tool.
Video content isn’t just about catering to shorter attention spans – turning a PDF to AI video can be beneficial in many different scenarios.
For example, instead of presenting a lengthy product brochure or sales deck in a pitch meeting, you can create an engaging, visually appealing video that will allow potential clients to digest key facts about your business much more easily. In this instance, the information you share is more likely to be retained and remembered than if you presented a static PDF.
You may also use PDF to AI video conversion for employee training and onboarding. Founders or HR teams can easily turn employee training materials and company policy documents into videos with engaging voiceovers and animation, allowing new hires to absorb information much more easily.
AI videos can also be used for customer support tutorials, online e-learning courses (such as health and safety videos), content marketing, product demos and even company updates.
There are so many examples of scenarios where converting a PDF to AI video content will increase retention, improve engagement and make your brand more memorable than others.
And the good news? It couldn’t be easier to convert your PDFs to short videos using Argil.
Converting your PDF to AI video couldn’t be easier. Using our text-to-video converter, all you need to do is paste in your document URL and then choose your video format.
You can opt for a social media “short” (30 seconds), which is ideal for marketing and engagement on platforms like TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts.
Or you can choose a “classic” video (2 minutes) which can be embedded into a blog, web page or email newsletter.
Choose from our library of specialized avatars for every industry – or create your own.
If you want to generate an avatar that looks and sounds exactly like you, all you need to do is upload a two-minute video of you speaking, and we’ll do the rest. We’ll train your avatar to mimic your appearance, body language and speaking patterns, and the result is amazing.
Our Argil v2 avatars are even better than before. You can learn more about them here.
Our AI writing assistant will automatically generate an engaging script for your video by analyzing your PDF document or URL.
If you don’t like the script, you can “shuffle” to generate a new one, or you can edit it manually.
You can also use our “script splitting” feature to cut your script down into 3-5-second cuts. If you choose the longer video option, we’ll generate 12-15-second segments with fewer cuts.
Next, it’s time to choose your video format and add images and B-roll to enhance your PDF to AI video content.
Using our AI editing dashboard, you can be as detailed as you like, or you can opt for “Auto B-roll” and “Auto captions” and we’ll add features using AI to make your videos more appealing.
In this stage, you can also choose background music and change voiceovers and languages. Once you’ve selected all your settings and added your editing preferences, it only takes a few minutes to create your video
Argil will generate a preview of your video and you can make further changes until you’re happy with the output. You may wish to alter your avatar’s body language, change the background or camera angles, add zooms or tweak the music or voiceover.
When you’re happy with your PDF to AI video, you can use our dashboard to optimize for your chosen platform, adding SEO tags and descriptions. It’s then easy to generate your video and either download the file or share it directly to your platform of choice.
