Turn an article into a short video people finish
An article that took a week to write usually gets read once, by people who already follow you. A short video can take the same argument to people who would never open the post.
Paste a public article URL. Accrobrief reads the page, keeps its thesis as the throughline, turns the strongest points into scenes, and builds a short video with voice-over and subtitles.

| Length | 10 to 45 seconds on paid plans (10 to 15 on Free) | As long as the article |

How it works
- 01
Paste the article URL
Any public http(s) page: a blog post, a changelog, a guide or a launch write-up.
- 02
Cut it to a video shape
The thesis becomes the throughline; the points that carry it become scenes. The rest is left on the page.
- 03
Use the page’s look
Copy, logo, colors and screenshots from the page shape the visuals.
- 04
Preview the cut
Watch each scene as it is ready. Ask in chat to change the emphasis or rewrite a scene.
- 05
Publish it next to the post
Export 16:9 for the article or YouTube, 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok.
Compression, not narration
A 2,000-word post becomes the beats that survive, not two thousand words read aloud.
Grounded in the page
Claims and imagery come from the article you paste.
Two shapes from one post
16:9 for the page and YouTube, 9:16 for vertical feeds.
Which articles work best
Posts with one clear argument: an opinion, a how-it-works piece, a launch write-up, a changelog entry with one headline change. Listicles work if each item can stand alone as a scene.
Long reference pages with many unrelated sections work less well; pick the section that matters and start from an idea instead.
A second format, not a replacement
The video should make people want the full article, not stand in for it. Put the link in the description or the first comment, and end the video on the one point the post explains best.
Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a blog post into a video?
+
Paste the post’s public URL into Accrobrief in Website mode. It reads the article, keeps the argument, turns the key points into scenes and adds voice-over and subtitles.
Will it read the whole article aloud?
+
No. It compresses the article to the points that carry its argument, so the video stays short.
How long will the video be?
+
10 to 45 seconds on paid plans, 10 to 15 seconds on the free plan.
Does the article need to be public?
+
Yes. Accrobrief reads public http(s) pages. For a private draft, paste the text as a script instead.
Can I change what it focuses on?
+
Yes. After the first cut, ask in chat for a different emphasis, or rewrite a single scene.
