How to Convert Text to Video for Free with AI (Step-by-Step)

Text-to-video is the process of converting written content — scripts, blog posts, articles, or simple prompts — into fully produced videos with voiceover, visuals, and subtitles.

This technology has democratized video creation. You no longer need cameras, microphones, editing software, or video production skills. Just type what you want to say, and AI handles the rest.

Free text-to-video tools like FluxNote’s free tier let you create professional-quality videos without any upfront investment.

Step 1: Write or prepare your text. Start with a script, blog excerpt, bullet points, or a simple topic description.

Step 2: Sign up for a free account. Create a free FluxNote account. The free plan includes 3 videos per month.

Step 3: Paste your text and generate. Enter your text into FluxNote. The AI generates a script, voiceover, footage, and subtitles.

Step 4: Customize the output. Adjust voiceover style, subtitle design, and footage. Preview changes in real time.

Step 5: Export and share. Export in your preferred format and share directly to YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram.
