# URL to Video Generator

Hand the composer a link to an article, a product page, a YouTube video or a PDF, or paste the page’s text here, and get a new narrated short written only from what the page says.

Canonical page: https://www.veedio.co/tools/url-to-video-generator
Search intent: Someone with a link — their own article, product page, release notes, YouTube video, Reddit thread or PDF — who wants a short video made from it (“url to video ai”, “link to video generator”). Many “url to video” searches want a downloader or a file converter instead; this page says first that it is not one.

## What it produces

- 5 to 8 scenes, each with one spoken line and one generated frame
- A minute by default; 30, 60, 90 or 180 seconds are selectable in the composer (paid plans to 180s). Scene length comes from the narration's true duration
- ElevenLabs voiceover: 20 voices, narrating in any of 29 languages
- Word-timed captions burned in from the voice model's own character alignment
- A licensed music bed, ducked under the narration, loudness-normalised master
- 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, 1080-class, no watermark on any plan

## Preset applied on this page

- Source type: prompt
- Voice: eric
- Captions: bold-center
- Music: uplifting
- Visual style: documentary
- Aspect ratio: 9:16

## The brief this page adds, verbatim

This string is prepended to whatever the visitor types before the scriptwriter
sees it — in the script preview on this page, in the video you generate after
clicking through to the composer, and in the API when you send
`preset: "url-to-video-generator"`. It is the only difference between this page and
the others.

> The text below was copied from a web page the user wants turned into a short video: an article, a product page, release notes, an event page, a listing or a video's description. Write a new narrated short from it: open on what the page is about in one plain line, then the details that matter most to someone seeing it for the first time, one per scene, ending on what the page asks the reader to do, if it asks anything. Use ONLY what the text says: add no fact, number, name, price, date, feature, review or claim that is not in it, invent no urgency or scarcity, and if something is unclear, leave it out. Never describe the page's design, its pictures or a video on it, which you cannot see. If the text is only a web address or a file name with no words from it, do not guess what it says: say only what the address or name itself makes certain (the site's name), and nothing about what it offers. Each scene describes one frame that shows the subject of its line — the product in use, a room, a desk, a street — with no text, numbers, logos, screenshots or writing in the frame and no one speaking to camera.

## Example inputs from the page

- Our waxed canvas tote is cut from a single panel of heavyweight cotton canvas, finished with beeswax so light rain beads off, and stitched with leather handles that soften the more you carry it. It fits a laptop, a lunch and a jacket. The wax wears in rather than off, and creases into its own pattern over time. Re-wax it once a year with a bar of our wax and a hairdryer.
- New this month: shared inboxes now support assignment rules. Choose a rule — round robin, least busy, or by the topic in the subject line — and each new conversation is handed to a teammate the moment it arrives. Rules can be paused per inbox, and every handoff is written to the conversation history, so nobody has to ask who picked it up.
- Open house this Saturday and Sunday, 1 to 4 pm. A three-bedroom brick bungalow on a corner lot, with a renovated kitchen, original oak floors and a fenced back garden. Walk to the elementary school and the park. Street parking on both sides.

## Getting started

Pick a plan at /pricing and start creating today. The widget on the page runs the
real scriptwriter with this preset and returns the script, the per-scene image
prompts and the estimated runtime. Rendering the visuals, voiceover and final
file spends credits.

## How it works

1. **Paste the link, or the page’s text** — Put the address in the link box and the composer reads the page for you. Or paste the part of the page you want as a video into the text box.
2. **Read what it understood** — The script comes back one line per scene, held to what the page says. If a link cannot be read, you are told why instead of being handed a guess.
3. **Render it and post it** — A vertical short with a voiceover, captions and music, posted to TikTok, Reels or Shorts from the app.

## A new video from what a page says, not a downloader

Many people who search for “url to video” want something else: a way to save the video playing at a link, or to convert a file to MP4. This is not that. Nothing at the link is downloaded, converted or re-uploaded, and a YouTube video’s own footage never appears in what you make. What comes back is a new short, narrated and captioned, written from what the page says.

That makes it the right tool when the page is yours, or one you may talk about: your own article, your product page, your release notes, your listing, your event. It is the wrong tool for reposting somebody else’s video, and we would rather say so before you pay. Every video is made on a plan: Mini is $7 a month, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee.

## What the composer can read from a link

The composer’s Link tab reads a public link for you: an article or a product page (its title, its headings and the first 6,000 characters of its text), a YouTube video (its captions, or its description), a post on X, a Reddit thread and its top comments, a public LinkedIn post, or a PDF at a link. From a TikTok or an Instagram post it can read only the caption. Each reader hands the script writer the same thing — what the source says — and the script writer is told to use only that.

A page behind a login or a paywall, one that returns an error, or one that shows nothing until JavaScript runs cannot be read, and the composer tells you why rather than guessing; paste the text instead. A page with little text but a title and a description is written from what little there is, so for a thin page, paste the details you want said.

## What the link box does, and what the text box does

The link box at the top of this page takes an address and opens the composer on its Link tab, where the page is read. The text box below it writes a script preview from words you paste — up to 1,200 characters — and runs this page’s brief: what the page is about in one line, the details that matter, then what it asks the reader to do. The text box never opens a link, so paste words, not an address; an address on its own is answered with nothing but the site’s name, never a guess at what the page offers.

On the Link tab this page’s own brief steps aside: the script writer is given the source itself and told to use only what it says. The look, the voice, the captions and the music this page starts on stay as they are. From a link, the first scene can open on the page’s own picture, such as its share image, where it has one; every scene after it is generated from its own line. The page starts on the composer’s Documentary look, vertical, with a steady narrator and bold captions. Or switch the composer to Stock footage: real Pexels clips matched to each line, on every plan, which suits a subject that exists — a street, a kitchen, a handshake — better than an idea.

## Who it is for

- **Shop owners** — A product page’s own description, as a short for Reels and TikTok that sends people back to buy.
- **SaaS and B2B teams** — Release notes, a feature page or a case study you are allowed to share, as a short for LinkedIn and Shorts.
- **Real estate agents** — A listing or an open-house page, turned into a vertical short; every scene is generated, so it shows a home like the listing rather than the listing itself.
- **Coaches and creators** — Your own YouTube video, newsletter issue or article, cut to its key point as a short that points back to the original.

## Compared with making it the usual way

| | The usual way | With Veedio |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Input | Copy the page into a doc, rewrite it as a script, then storyboard it. | The link in the link box here (read on the composer’s Link tab), or the page’s text pasted. |
| Visuals | Screenshots of the page, panned slowly, with the text too small to read. | A frame generated per line, or real stock clips, and the page’s own picture first where it has one. |
| Voiceover | Read the page aloud into a phone and cut the pauses out. | A smooth, even narrator by default, 20 voices to choose from, a changed line re-read on its own. |
| Captions | Typed in by hand, or auto-captions that mishear the product name. | Captions from the script you approved, so every name is spelled as the page spells it. |
| Turnaround | An afternoon per page, so the release notes never get a video. | The page read and the script written in moments, the video right after it. |
| Changing it | The price on the page changes and the video has to be cut again. | Make it again from the updated link, or fix the one line in the script. |

## FAQ

### Does it download the video at a link?

No. Nothing at the link is downloaded, converted or re-uploaded, and a YouTube video’s own footage never appears in what you make. What comes back is a new short, narrated and captioned, written from what the page says. For saving or converting a video file, a downloader or a converter is the right tool.

### Which links can it read?

The composer’s Link tab reads a public link for you: an article or a product page (its title, its headings and the first 6,000 characters of its text), a YouTube video (its captions, or its description), a post on X, a Reddit thread and its top comments, a public LinkedIn post, or a PDF at a link. From a TikTok or an Instagram post it can read only the caption. A page behind a login or a paywall, one that returns an error, or one that shows nothing until JavaScript runs cannot be read, and the composer tells you why rather than guessing; paste the text instead.

### Can I paste a link into this page?

Yes, in the link box at the top: it opens the composer on its Link tab, where the page is read. The text box below it takes pasted words only. The box on this page writes from text you paste — up to 1,200 characters, about a long paragraph — and it never opens a link or reads a file. In the composer the same Prompt tab takes up to 20,000 characters, so a whole post fits, and a long one is condensed to the length you pick rather than cut off. On the Link tab this page’s own brief steps aside: the script writer is given the source itself and told to use only what it says. The look, the voice, the captions and the music this page starts on stay as they are.

### Will it make up things the page does not say?

The script is written from the words you give it and told to use only what they say: no fact, figure, price, name, quote or claim that is not in your text. It is still a language model, so read the script before any picture is made: the box here shows it one line per scene, and in the composer, Show me the script first holds the visuals until you approve it.

### Can I use somebody else’s page or video?

Only one you have the right to talk about. The video is new and is written from the page’s words, but from a link, the first scene can open on the page’s own picture, such as its share image, where it has one; every scene after it is generated from its own line. So link only pages whose pictures you may use, and check what you may say about anyone else’s product before you post.

### What is on screen?

Each scene is one generated frame made from its own line of the script, so the video is a sequence of independent pictures joined by cuts, not one continuous shot. On a paid plan each frame is set in motion by default with a short camera move (138 credits for a five-scene video), or choose Stills in the composer and the same video is 13 credits, as pictures with a slow pan. Or switch the composer to Stock footage: real Pexels clips matched to each line, on every plan, which suits a subject that exists — a street, a kitchen, a handshake — better than an idea.

### Can the video be in another language?

Yes. Pick the language in the composer and the script is written and narrated in it, whatever language the page is in. There are 20 stock voices, most of them recorded in American English, with 4 British and 1 Australian among them. There is no Irish voice, and voice cloning — your own voice — is on Pro and Studio only. The narration and captions can be in any of 29 languages — French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Polish among them — chosen in the composer; the voices read them, but a native listener may hear an English-speaker's accent, so listen to the first one before you post a series.

### What does it cost, and how long can a video be?

Plans are monthly: Mini $7 (200 credits), Starter $19 (600 credits), Pro $49 (2,000 credits), Studio $149 (7,500 credits). A five-scene short in pictures costs 13 credits; with AI motion in every scene it costs 138. You see the price before you generate, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee. Mini ($7 a month, 200 credits) covers about 15 five-scene shorts in pictures, or about 1 with AI motion in every scene. Every paid plan makes videos of 30 seconds, one minute, 90 seconds or three minutes; a longer video has more scenes and costs more credits, and you see the price before you generate. You own the videos on every plan and can use them commercially, paid ads included. There is no watermark on any plan, the export is 1080p, and the music beds are licensed for commercial use with no attribution.

### Do I have to sign up to try this?

Yes, and pick a plan: Mini is $7 a month, and the first payment has a 7-day money-back guarantee. On a plan, the box at the top writes the script and the shot list for no credits — that is the part that decides whether the video is worth making.

### Do I own the videos, and is there a watermark?

You own them, on every plan, and there is no watermark on any plan, no resolution cap and no platform withheld. Four things do follow the plan, because they are what a video costs to make: AI motion and sound effects need Starter, and a presenter avatar and the choice of video model need Pro. Everything else — every voice, every language, every caption style, every aspect ratio — is the same on all of them.
