What is PPT to video AI?

PPT to video AI is software that turns a PowerPoint presentation into a video. Upload a PPT or PPTX file and Pictory’s PPT to video converter makes each slide a scene, reads your speaker notes in an AI voice and adds captions. The video presents the deck for you.

You stay in control of every slide. Edit the text, swap a visual, change the voice or add an avatar presenter, then apply your brand kit.

It takes presentations up to 90 slides or 50 MB. Use it as an online video presentation maker: create a video from PowerPoint in your browser, free to try.
