Text to Video AI Generator
Describe a scene in a few sentences and get a short MP4 with sound. No photo needed: pick the shape, resolution and length, and the AI builds the video from your words.
Prompt: A red fox trots through fresh snow in a quiet pine forest at sunrise. The camera slowly pans to follow it. Soft golden light, its breath visible in the cold air.
Say what happens, where, and how the camera moves. Sound is added to match the scene.
Examples
Each video was made in high quality from the prompt shown, with no photo: 5 seconds at 720p.
A red fox in a snowy pine forest at sunrise
Prompt: A red fox trots through fresh snow in a quiet pine forest at sunrise. The camera slowly pans to follow it. Soft golden light, its breath visible in the cold air.
Milk poured into coffee, forming a heart

A paper boat in a rainy street gutter at dusk

How to turn text into a video
Write a prompt
Describe what you want to see in up to 800 characters: the subject, what they do, the place, the light and the camera movement. One clear scene works better than a whole story.
Choose your settings
Pick vertical 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, square 1:1 for the feed, or landscape 16:9 for YouTube. Then choose 720p or 1080p and 5 or 10 seconds. Text to video always runs at high quality.
Generate and download
Sign in with Google and click Generate. Most videos are ready in about 2–4 minutes. Download the MP4, or find it later in My creations.
What you get
Sound included
Every video comes with sound made to match the scene, such as rain, traffic or music. You can’t switch it off here, but you can mute it or replace it in your editor.
Clear credit costs
The Generate button shows how many credits a video costs before you start. If a video fails or takes too long, the credits go back to your account automatically.
See the cost first
The Generate button shows the exact cost before you start, and failed videos are refunded. Text to video runs at High quality, so it costs more than effects. Videos made with free credits carry a small AI watermark; paid ones don’t.
Writing a good prompt
A good prompt reads like a short shot description. Name the subject, the action, the setting, the light and the camera movement: “a golden retriever runs through shallow waves at sunset, slow-motion, the camera tracks alongside at low height”. If the sound matters, describe it too, for example “soft piano” or “busy café chatter”.
Keep each video to one scene. Five or ten seconds is not enough time for several cuts or a long story, so split bigger ideas into separate clips and join them in your editor. Avoid asking for written words or logos on screen; text inside AI video often comes out garbled.
Text to video or image to video?
Text to video is the right choice when you have an idea but no picture: a product mood shot, a b-roll clip, a background for a voiceover or a scene that would be hard to film. The AI decides how everything looks, based only on your words.
When you need a specific person, pet, product or place to appear exactly as it is, use Image to video instead. You upload a photo, and the AI animates that photo, so the look stays the same.
Your prompts and privacy
Your prompt is sent to our AI video provider, which makes the video. Videos are kept in My creations for 30 days and then deleted, so download the ones you want to keep.
Every prompt is checked against our acceptable use policy before generation. Sexual content, real public figures, children, violence and hate aren’t allowed. If a prompt is refused, it doesn’t cost any credits.
