What is URL to video?

URL to video is AI that turns a web page into a video from its link. Paste the URL of a blog post, product page or help article and Pictory’s URL to video generator reads the page, writes a script from the key points, and adds visuals, voiceover and captions.

You check the script before anything is built, so the video says exactly what you want. Then swap any visual, change the voice or apply your brand kit.

Posts and pages you have already published get seen again on YouTube, social and your website. It works on any public link, runs online in your browser and is free to try.
