Recastia, a content repurposing platform, has introduced a PDF to video converter that transforms PDF files into MP4 videos. The tool is designed to help users create videos from product brochures, service guides, and other documents for use on exhibition screens, sales demonstrations, and event presentations. By allowing selective page inclusion, the converter addresses a common challenge: presenting only the most relevant information without overwhelming viewers with every page of a document.
The creation process begins with template previews. After selecting 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 choose a generation mode and select the pages to display. In addition to PDFs, the tool also supports Word documents, PowerPoint files, and images as inputs, broadening its applicability across common business file formats.
The PDF to video converter offers three modes: Minimal, Easy, and Advanced. Minimal Mode is suited for displays without voiceover, automatically showing the selected pages. Users can set a fixed display time per page or divide a total display duration evenly among the selected pages. Background music remains optional, with library tracks or uploaded audio available. Easy Mode uses one continuous voiceover script for the entire video, while Advanced Mode provides a separate script field for each selected page, allowing users to explain different features or specifications on different pages. In both voiceover modes, users can write scripts themselves or use AI Copywriting to generate editable scripts from the PDFs. They can also select the language for generated scripts, choose an AI voice, and decide whether to include subtitles and an avatar.
The tool supports landscape (16:9) and portrait (9:16) videos to accommodate 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. The finished MP4 can be downloaded for playback on an event screen or within a presentation. Users can also edit the video's title and description, embed it on a product website, share its unique link, or use a QR code on 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.” The announcement matters because it enables businesses to repurpose existing documents into engaging video content without specialized skills or additional resources, potentially saving time and cost while enhancing audience engagement at events and online.
