Powtoon is an AI video and presentation creation platform for non-professional users. The company positions it as "AI Video for non-AI people," meaning it enables people without an AI or design background to quickly create business-grade branded videos and presentation content. Users can create videos tailored to various needs and styles in just minutes.
In terms of main capabilities, Powtoon offers the following features: document-to-video, which can quickly turn static files, documents, presentations, PDFs, and more into lively videos; AI script generation, which can automatically generate professional video scripts based on creative requirements; text-to-speech, which generates natural-sounding voiceover narration from text; AI avatars, which provide customizable, realistic AI characters with lip sync and multiple voice options, allowing you to reach audiences in different languages; AI image generation, which creates high-quality custom images from text descriptions; automatic subtitle and caption generation with perfect synchronization to improve video accessibility; and AI translation, which can instantly translate scripts, subtitles, and voiceovers into multiple languages. In addition, users can choose from hundreds of free video templates and fully customize them.
In terms of how to use it, Powtoon emphasizes "starting with Powtoon Imagine AI." Users can upload documents or enter ideas, and the AI generates scripts, voiceovers, images, subtitles, and more while users retain creative control. The platform also provides professionally designed templates for manual selection and customization.
Use cases include corporate video and presentation creation, brand content creation, multilingual localization and distribution, and team collaboration and approval workflows. Powtoon provides a complete toolkit for enterprise-level users, with ISO-27001 certification, GDPR compliance, accessibility features, and user management tools; it supports shared folders, enterprise templates, and brand locking to maintain brand consistency, and provides built-in review, approval, and a centralized brand book to simplify teamwork. There is also the Powtoon Propel program, which provides a dedicated success manager, onboarding training, creative services, and customized training to help enterprise teams create videos at scale.
