A few months ago, I was trying to create a short video for one of my side projects.
I had the idea.
I had the script.
What I didn’t have was time, editing skills, or patience to learn another video tool with a steep curve.
And frankly, I didn’t want to spend hours matching text with visuals, voiceovers, or background music.
So… I built a tool that could do it for me.
🎬 Introducing Textideo.com — An AI-Powered Video Studio
Textideo is a simple, online platform that turns text or images into AI-generated videos — all in a matter of seconds.
You just drop in your idea (a paragraph, script, blog post, etc.), and the system handles:
Scene composition
Stock visuals
Voiceover narration
Subtitles
Background music
And even cover image generation
All in one go.
It’s like having a tiny production crew working behind the scenes for you, powered by AI.
🛠️ Why I Built It (as a Developer)
There are a lot of video tools out there — Lumen5, Pictory, Animoto, etc.
But they all felt too bulky for someone who just wants to test an idea, publish content fast, or ship something now.
As a developer, I wanted:
Speed: I don’t want to waste an hour editing a 1-minute video
Simplicity: Drop in a text, get a video — done
Creative freedom: Let me focus on ideas, not UI timelines or animation keyframes
So I wired together some AI APIs, created a clean frontend, and started using it for my own content.
🚀 Real-World Use Cases
Here’s how I (and some early users) use it today:
🎙️ Turn a blog snippet into a narrated video for social media
📰 Convert breaking news into quick explainers
📢 Build startup landing page promos from text content
📚 Create simple video summaries of articles or product updates
🤳 Even convert a few static images into TikTok-style animated videos
It’s not meant to replace pro video editors — but it’s great when speed, scale, or simplicity matter.
🔗 Try It for Free
If you’ve ever wanted to:
Reuse your content in video format
Publish faster with less editing effort
Test content ideas visually
Or just want to experiment with AI video generation...
👉 Give it a try: https://textideo.com
No account required to test. Just input your text or upload images, and let it generate the rest.
🧑💻 Built With:
Under the hood, Textideo uses a combination of:
AI text-to-speech (for realistic voiceovers)
Stock image search & composition
Simple video stitching pipelines
A custom frontend built with your stack, e.g. React + Tailwind + Supabase
I'm planning to open up more features soon — things like batch creation, custom voices, style presets, and maybe even timeline editing for advanced users.
💬 I’d Love Your Feedback
This project is still evolving. If you're a creator, indie hacker, or just curious about AI tools, I’d love to hear:
How would you use a tool like this?
What features would make it more useful for your workflow?
