Recastia, a content repurposing platform, has introduced a PDF to video converter that creates MP4 videos from PDF files. The tool allows users to turn product brochures, service guides, and other documents into videos suitable for exhibition screens, sales demonstrations, and event presentations. This launch addresses a common challenge for businesses: repurposing existing print-oriented materials into engaging video content without specialized editing skills.
The creation process begins with template previews. After choosing a template, users upload one or more PDFs. When multiple files are uploaded, users can adjust the file order before the converter merges the content. They then select a generation mode and the specific pages to display. The converter also supports Word documents, PowerPoint files, and images as inputs, broadening its applicability beyond PDFs alone. This flexibility means users can draw from various source materials—such as a brochure and a separate specification document—to craft a cohesive video. For instance, a product display might highlight photographs and key details while omitting ordering forms or lengthy reference sections, giving users precise control over the final output.
The PDF to video converter offers three modes: Minimal, Easy, and Advanced. Minimal Mode suits displays without voiceover, automatically showing selected pages. Users can set a fixed display time per page or divide a total duration evenly among pages, with optional background music from a library or uploaded audio. Easy Mode uses one continuous voiceover script for the entire video, while Advanced Mode provides a separate script field for each selected page, allowing tailored explanations—such as product features on one page and specifications on another. In both voiceover modes, users can write scripts themselves or use AI Copywriting to generate editable scripts from the PDFs, selecting the language for generation. They then choose an AI voice and decide whether to include subtitles and an avatar.
The converter supports landscape (16:9) and portrait (9:16) formats to match different screen orientations. Visual customization options vary by template; for example, the Page-Flipping Book template lets users choose a background image or upload their own and add a colored cover border around the book. Finished MP4s can be downloaded for playback on event screens or within presentations. Users can also edit the video's title and description, embed it on a product website, share a unique link, or generate a QR code for event materials so visitors can open it themselves.
"Users may want to introduce a product at an event without taking visitors through the entire brochure," said Winston Zhang, CEO of Recastia. "Our PDF to video converter helps them create that introduction from their existing documents in a format suited to the screen where the video will appear." This capability could be particularly valuable for sales teams and marketers who need to quickly adapt static documents for dynamic environments, potentially saving time and resources while improving audience engagement.
Recastia positions itself as a content repurposing platform for PDFs and images, supporting video, flipbook, presentation, website, AI chatbot, and 3D exhibition creation. Users apply existing information and visuals to online catalogs, product demonstrations, training, and virtual displays, selecting how to publish or present their content.
