Turn Any Article Into a Video

Turn a text story into a short vertical video with a AI voiceover, animated captions, overlays and your branding, ready for Reels and Shorts.

Open Graph Images for Every Article

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.

Publishing FAQ

Common questions from publishers automating their article visuals.

How does Bannerbear connect to my CMS?

WordPress, Ghost, Contentful and Webflow connect directly. Anything with a webhook or Zapier can trigger a render, and the API works from any code.

Can I generate Open Graph images on the fly?

Yes. Instant URLs render an image from a template when the URL is requested, so a preview image exists for every page with no build step.

What about articles already published?

Send them as a batch. Up to 100 renders per request, and the results come back as URLs you can write back to the CMS.

Can it turn articles into video?

Yes. A workflow can summarise the text, generate a voiceover, add captions and render a vertical video from the article’s photos.
