A sample: the dieting traps people fall into
A clip from a video made with VibeKnow. In trap 3, “only cardio”, a cartoon character runs on a treadmill, adds strength training to keep muscle, and a chart shows the weight coming down steadily.
How to convert a file to video
- 01
Upload the file
PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, TXT or MD, up to 50 MB. Add one line about the audience or length if you like.
- 02
Pick format, voice and music
16:9 for YouTube and courses, 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. Choose a narration voice and background music.
- 03
Download the MP4
VibeKnow generates the video in minutes. Review it, change what you want, then download it as an MP4.
What happens to each file type
Reports, papers, manuals and handouts. The text is read and organized into a scene-by-scene explanation.
Word (DOC, DOCX)
Long-form drafts, guides and articles. Headings become the outline of the video.
PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX)
Decks are turned into explainer scenes. Want your slides kept exactly as they are? Use PPT to video instead.
Plain text (TXT)
Notes, transcripts and drafts with no formatting at all still come out as a structured video.
Markdown (MD)
Docs and READMEs written in Markdown. Heading levels map to sections of the video.
MP4 out, either orientation
Every file ends up as the same thing: a narrated MP4 in landscape or vertical, ready to upload anywhere.
What people convert

Give existing PDFs and Word files a second life as videos.

Client deliverables
Send a short video alongside the report so it actually gets read.
Internal documentation
Convert wiki exports and Markdown docs into onboarding videos.
Meeting notes and transcripts

Social clips from long files

|---|---|---|---|
| What the video shows | Your pages, one after another, with transitions | Your screen scrolling through the file | New scenes, diagrams and animations based on the content |
| Narration | None, or add your own | Record it yourself | AI voiceover written from the file |
| Time for a few minutes of video | Minutes, but it's a slideshow | As long as the recording, plus editing | Minutes |
| Best for | Photo albums and simple page flips | Showing software or a live walkthrough | Explaining what's in the file |
Based on typical workflows as of November 2026. Actual time depends on content length and how much you edit.

02Which file formats are supported?
PDF, Word (DOC, DOCX), PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX), plain text (TXT) and Markdown (MD), up to 50 MB per file.
03What format is the finished video?
You download it as an MP4, in landscape (16:9) or vertical (9:16).
