Recastia, a content repurposing platform, has unveiled a PDF to video converter that allows users to turn product brochures, service guides, and other documents into MP4 videos for exhibition screens, sales demonstrations, and event presentations. The tool addresses a common challenge: repurposing existing print or digital documents into engaging video content without specialized skills or software.
The converter gives users control over which pages appear in the final video. For a product display, for instance, users can select pages from a brochure and a separate specification document, highlighting product photographs and key details while omitting ordering forms or lengthy reference sections. This selective approach ensures the video remains focused and relevant to the audience.
The creation process begins with template previews. After choosing a template, users upload one or more PDFs; with multiple files, they can adjust the order before merging. They then select a generation mode and the pages to display. Word documents, PowerPoint files, and images are also supported as inputs, adding flexibility.
The PDF to video converter offers three modes: Minimal, Easy, and Advanced. Minimal Mode suits displays without voiceover, automatically showing selected pages with a fixed display time per page or an evenly divided total duration. Background music is optional, with library tracks or uploaded audio. Easy Mode uses one continuous voiceover script for the entire video, while Advanced Mode provides a separate script field for each page, allowing users to explain 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 generated scripts. They then choose an AI voice and decide whether to include subtitles and an avatar.
The tool supports landscape (16:9) and portrait (9:16) videos for different screen orientations. Visual customization options vary by template; Page-Flipping Book, for example, 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, and users can edit its title and description, embed the video 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 underscores a growing need for versatile content repurposing tools that help businesses maximize the value of existing materials. By enabling the quick conversion of documents into narrated videos, Recastia empowers users to create professional presentations and demonstrations without starting from scratch.
