Social images and short videos rendered from your CMS when an article publishes. Make each story go further with no extra work.

})Every article needs a preview image, a social card and increasingly a clip. Bannerbear renders them from the headline, byline and photo you already have, so visuals never hold up publishing.

Turn a text story into a short vertical video with a AI voiceover, animated captions, overlays and your branding, ready for Reels and Shorts.
A publish hook sends the headline and photo to Bannerbear and the preview image is ready before the post is shared. Old articles get one in a single batch.
