  • Add narration without recording yourself

From file to watchable clip

A practical way to turn slides into a watchable video

Recording a live walkthrough takes a quiet room and extra time. Recastia uses the exported pages as the picture, then can add voiceover, captions, and an optional presenter.

01

Start with the PowerPoint file, not a blank timeline

Training decks, pitch decks, and lesson slides already hold the visuals. Recastia treats those pages as the video frames, so the conversion is a format change rather than a redesign.

  • Export PPT or PPTX as PDF first
  • Reuse layouts, charts, and slide art
  • Skip a full video-editor rebuild

02

Add the voiceover after the slides are in place

Easy and Advanced modes can add a natural AI voiceover and synced captions. Minimal mode is a silent page carousel if you only need the slides to move.

  • Easy Mode needs 200+ words and at least three slides
  • Optional talking-head avatar
  • MP4 download, preview, or share

Do I need PowerPoint installed on the computer that makes the video?

Does this work for PPT and PPTX?

Yes. Export either format as PDF, then follow the same Recastia workflow. The download is MP4. This page does not promise MOV, MPEG, or WMV.

Can I add a voice over without recording myself?
