Good for
Anyone with written content or product photos who wants a short video for social platforms.
You'll need
A blog post, page or product photos you have rights to use, and an account with one or two of the tools below. Many have a free plan; a few are trial or paid only, and each tool line says which.
Rough time
About 30 to 60 minutes (a rough estimate).

What you'll end up with

A short vertical video built from material you already have: a few key lines from a blog post or page, your product photos or illustrations, a voice or music track and captions.

You are repackaging, not starting over. That is why this one can be quick.

Step 1: Pull three to five key lines

A short video has room for a hook and a few points, not the whole post. Pick the line that makes someone stop scrolling, then the two or three points that matter most, and a closing line.

  • Grammarly Free planWriting assistant that checks grammar, clarity and tone across apps, with generative AI features on paid plans.

Step 2: Get clean images

Remove busy backgrounds from product photos, crop to a vertical frame and make sure the images are sharp at phone size.

  • Photoroom Free planProduct-photo editor with background removal, AI backgrounds, batch editing, plus connections for developers and AI assistants.
  • Canva Free planTemplate-first online design tool for social posts, presentations, video and logos, with Magic Studio AI on paid plans.
  • Photopea Free planFree browser-based image editor that opens and saves PSD files, runs on your device and has AI background removal and text-prompt replace.

Step 3: Build the video from a template

Start from a vertical video template, drop in your images and lines, and set your brand colours and fonts once so the next video starts from the same look.

  • Canva Free planTemplate-first online design tool for social posts, presentations, video and logos, with Magic Studio AI on paid plans.
  • Adobe Express Free planTemplate-based editor for social posts, flyers and short videos, with Adobe Firefly generative features built in.
  • CapCut Free planTemplate-driven video editor with AI features, free to start, with a Pro plan for premium templates and AI credits.

Step 4: Add a voice or music

A short voiceover can read your lines, or a music track can set the mood. Keep either low enough that on-screen text stays easy to follow.

  • ElevenLabs Free planAI voice generator with 5,000+ voices in 90+ languages, plus voice cloning, dubbing and music tools.
  • Uppbeat Free planRoyalty-free music, sound effects and stock video for creators, with an AI playlist search; it does not generate music.
  • SoundrawAI background-music generator where you choose mood, genre and length, then edit sections of the track.

Step 5: Add captions and resize for each platform

Captions help muted viewers. Check where each platform places its own buttons and text, and keep your words clear of those areas.

  • CapCut Free planTemplate-driven video editor with AI features, free to start, with a Pro plan for premium templates and AI credits.
  • Kapwing Free planBrowser video editor with subtitles, clip maker, resizing, dubbing and AI tools, priced per workspace member.
