Turn a news article into a TikTok video

Paste a news article link into ainius, pick a length and a voice, and a few minutes later you get a vertical 9:16 video that summarises the story, with voiceover, captions and the source credited, sized for TikTok. Over the 30 days up to 4 October 2026, the median time from pasting a link to having the video was about 2 minutes 15 seconds.

From article link to TikTok video

  1. Open the article on your phone or computer and copy the link (Share › Copy link).
  2. Open ainius.net and paste the link into the box.
  3. Pick a length and a voice: there are 8 native Vietnamese voices (Northern and Southern, male and female, news and TikTok styles) plus international voices. Keep the default vertical 9:16 format for TikTok.
  4. ainius summarises the story into a short script; an automatic step checks each sentence against the source article to limit information that is not in it; you should still review the video before posting. It records the voiceover, matches visuals, adds captions and credits the source on the video.
  5. Download the video and post it on TikTok.

Settings that suit TikTok

  • Length: 30 seconds for a quick one-point story; 60 seconds when there are figures or dates to explain. The Free plan makes videos up to 60 seconds.
  • Caption style: Auto (AI picks), Color Pop, Boxed, Minimal or Bold Outline. Choose "No subtitles" if you prefer to add captions in TikTok or CapCut.
  • Background music: set it louder or quieter; it ducks automatically under the voiceover.
  • None of these options costs extra credits.

When you post on TikTok

  • Watch the video once before posting, especially names, numbers and dates.
  • Write the caption in your own words: one line on what you think about the story, plus the name of the source.
  • Posting steadily matters more than posting a lot at once. For a long-term channel, see the guide on faceless news channels.

Limits to know

  • ainius reads article and web page links, not Facebook, YouTube or TikTok links. To work from a video you saw online, find and paste the original article link.
  • Pages behind a login or paywall may not be readable; paste the text you are allowed to use instead.
  • Videos are in English or Vietnamese.
  • ainius does not promise views or followers; results depend on your channel.
