TapVid is an AI-powered video creation platform that transforms text prompts, PDFs, and web links into short explainer videos with motion graphics. It runs in a web browser and is developed by TapVid (no company name stated on page).
What is TapVid?
TapVid generates explainer videos from user-provided input—a text prompt, a PDF document, or a URL. The output is a motion-graphics video typically 9:16 (vertical) aspect ratio with a default duration of around 60 seconds. The platform offers multiple visual styles including standard explainer, photorealistic visuals, motion graphics, and direct article-to-video conversion, with voice options such as "English Adam – Deep". No software installation is required; all creation happens in the browser.
