Why turn a PDF into a video instead of sending the file?

A PDF asks people to read. A short narrated video can walk them through the same pages while they watch. Recastia is built for that conversion.

01

Keep the layout you already approved

Reports, one-pagers, and slide-style PDFs already contain the visuals. Recastia uses those pages as frames rather than replacing them with unrelated stock footage.

  • Upload PDF directly
  • Select the pages that matter
  • Easy Mode needs at least three pages

Add audio so the pages can be watched

Easy and Advanced modes add AI voiceover and synced captions. Minimal mode only moves through pages if you want a silent carousel.

  • 200+ word script in Easy Mode
  • Optional AI avatar
  • MP4 download
