PDF to video for training teams, with your diagrams intact.
Colossyan pulls the real charts out of your PDF, drafts a scene per section citing the paragraph it came from, and waits for your approval before it renders. It is built for a handbook your team has to keep current, not for converting one file once.
4.7 on G2, from 480+ reviews Free plan, no credit card. The demo is 30 minutes on your own document.
Any document you already own, out the other side as trackable training.
PDF, Word, PowerPoint, a wiki page or a script all feed one project, so you are not buying a converter per file type.

Start with the document. Then everything else you already have.
- PDFs Policies, SOPs and handbooks, including scanned ones.
- Word and Google Docs Headings become scenes, paragraphs become narration.
- PowerPoint and Slides Each slide becomes a scene with its own script.
- A web page or URL Point at a help article or a wiki page and get a training video of it.
- A script you approved Paste it and keep your wording exactly as signed off.
-
A video you already made Translate it, or refresh only the parts that changed.
From a PDF in your inbox to an LMS package, the same afternoon.
Three steps, two review points. Nothing renders until you approve it, and drafts and previews are free.
-
Drop in the PDF or the doc
Cora detects a clean export, a print-to-PDF or a scan, runs OCR when it needs to, and pulls out every heading, chart and table first.
-
Approve the plan, scene by scene
Each scene shows its narration and cites the paragraph it came from. Edit any line, add a knowledge check, pick the presenter, or regenerate one scene on its own.
-
Publish where training lives
Export an MP4 up to 1080p, or a SCORM package your LMS tracks for completion and quiz scores. Translate the same project in one click.
A free converter finishes at the MP4. Training does not.
Converting one PDF once? A free no-signup converter will do it, and we would rather you used one. Colossyan is for a document a team has to maintain: cited scenes, an approval step before render, SCORM in your LMS, and every language from the same project.
A read-aloud PDF is not training. A tracked module is.
A free converter ends at the MP4. It cannot cite your source, quiz anyone, reach your LMS, or exist in Spanish next week.
The handbook reaches the LMS as a SCORM package, not a link in an email.

The questions L&D teams ask us first.
Yes. Upload the PDF and Cora reads it, extracts the headings, paragraphs, charts and tables, and drafts a scene-by-scene plan with a citation back to each source paragraph. You review the extraction, edit the plan, then render with an AI presenter, your brand kit and voiceover. Scanned PDFs work too, because OCR runs automatically before drafting.
That is what this is, with one difference worth knowing about. Most AI converters go straight from upload to a finished render, so the render is the first thing you can react to. Colossyan gives you a plan first: every scene shows its narration and the paragraph it came from, and nothing renders until you approve it.
Several tools on this search do it with no account at all, and for a one-off file that is the right answer. Colossyan has a free plan with no credit card, which gets you the upload, the extracted diagrams, the scene plan and the editor, so you can see a real draft before you talk to anyone. SCORM export starts on the Professional plan, which is the point at which an LMS is involved.
Yes, and that is the reason to use this rather than a converter. Charts, tables and figures are pulled out of the PDF page-aware and placed in the scene that references them, instead of being cropped or swapped for stock footage. If a source turns out to be a scan or a print-to-PDF, Cora tells you what it found before it starts drafting.
Colossyan exports SCORM 1.2 from both Colossyan Video and Colossyan Learn, and SCORM 2004 4th edition from Colossyan Video. Every export is tested against SCORM Cloud, and customers run the packages on Moodle, Cornerstone, Docebo, 360Learning, TalentLMS and Litmos. Completion, quiz scores and progress carry through. Professional includes five SCORM exports a month and Enterprise is unlimited. xAPI is on the roadmap.
Colossyan is SOC 2 Type II audited and GDPR compliant, with SAML single sign-on and a choice of EU or US data residency on Enterprise plans. Security questionnaires and custom agreements are handled before a pilot starts, not after.
