Turn a news article into a video

Paste a news article link into ainius and a few minutes later you get a vertical 9:16 news video with voiceover, captions and the source credited, ready to post on TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Reels. As of 4 October 2026, ainius has finished 535 videos; over the last 30 days the median time from pasting a link to having the video was about 2 minutes 15 seconds.

How it works

  1. Open ainius.net and paste a link to a news article (or type a short topic, or paste the full text).
  2. Pick a length (30, 60 or 90 seconds) and a voice: there are 8 native Vietnamese voices (Northern and Southern, male and female, news and TikTok styles) plus international voices.
  3. ainius reads the article and writes a script that follows it; 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. Then it records the voiceover, matches visuals and adds captions.
  4. Download the video and post it. The source of the article is credited on the video.

Real examples

Sample videos made by ainius from article links are on the home page: the 2027 Tet holiday calendar, a drone-spraying diagram from the Mekong Delta, and seven of the most beautiful metro stations. Each one is the output of a single link, not edited by hand.

Who it fits and who it does not

  • A good fit: faceless news channels that need to post every day; anyone turning specialist articles into short videos.
  • Not yet a fit: your source is a Facebook, YouTube or TikTok post (those links are not supported yet, paste the original article link instead); you need a language other than English or Vietnamese; you want to choose every scene by hand.
  • ainius does not promise views, followers or income. It makes the video; results after posting depend on your channel.

FAQ

Does it make things up?

ainius writes the script to follow the source article, and 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. The source is credited on the video.

How long does it take?

Usually a few minutes. The 30-day median is about 2 minutes 15 seconds, and 9 in 10 videos finish in under 7 minutes (as of 4 October 2026).

Can I use it for free?

Yes: 5 credits a month, enough for about two 30-second videos.

Which languages?

English and Vietnamese. Vietnamese is by far the most used so far; English videos are newer, so there are fewer examples.

What if I am not happy?

A 100% refund within 7 days of purchase.
