What is Website to Video?
Website to Video turns a URL into a short motion-graphics promo. You paste a link and ViralMint opens the page in a local headless browser, screenshots it, and reads its headline, tagline, key points and brand color. AI then designs an animated composition — kinetic headline, the key points, and the screenshots floating in as device mockups — and renders it to an mp4 on your machine. No account on the site you're promoting, no timeline editing, no watermark.
The whole pipeline runs locally except the two AI calls (brand read + composition), which route through ViralMint's cloud so there are no API keys to manage. Because the output is a real motion-graphics composition — HTML/CSS/JS with GSAP animation, not a screen recording — you can re-open it in the embedded studio and edit any scene, then export again.
How to turn a website into a video in 5 steps
- Paste the URL. Drop any public link into the Website → Video tool and choose an aspect ratio — 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Shorts/Reels, 1:1 for feed.
- Capture. A bundled Chromium loads the page and screenshots the hero plus two sections — the same engine ViralMint uses for enhanced downloads, so there's nothing extra to install.
- Read the brand. A vision model extracts the headline, tagline, three key points and the site's accent color, so the video matches the brand instead of a generic template.
- Design and render. AI writes a motion-graphics composition laying your copy over the screenshots; headless Chrome + FFmpeg render it deterministically to mp4 in about 15–25 seconds.
- Edit or download. The video lands in your Library. Download it, or re-open the composition in the studio to tweak the HTML/CSS/JS and screenshots, then export again.
What's in Website to Video
One-paste input
A single URL is the whole brief. No uploading screenshots, writing copy or picking a template — ViralMint reads it all off the page.
Brand-aware design
The vision read pulls the real headline, tagline, key points and accent color, so the promo looks on-brand rather than stamped from a stock layout.
Screenshots as mockups
The captured sections float in as device-style mockups inside the animation — the polished-explainer look, not a flat screen recording.
Local, key-free render
Capture and render run on your machine via the bundled Chromium and FFmpeg. No API keys, no per-minute cloud cost, no watermark.
Fully editable result
The output is a real GSAP composition. Re-open it in the embedded Motion Graphics studio to edit any scene's HTML/CSS/JS and export again.
Every aspect ratio
16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 from the same capture — promo for the homepage, a vertical cut for Shorts, a square for the feed.
Frequently asked
What is Website to Video?
A ViralMint tool that turns a URL into a motion-graphics promo: it captures the page locally, reads the headline, tagline, key points and brand color, then has AI design an animated composition and renders it to mp4 — no editing and no account on the site required.
How does it turn a website into a video?
Capture (local Chromium screenshots the hero + two sections) → read brand (vision model extracts copy + accent color) → design (AI writes a GSAP motion-graphics composition over the screenshots) → render (headless Chrome + FFmpeg → mp4 in your Library).
How much does it cost?
About 9¢ per video from prepaid credits — the compose and render steps are billed per generation, no subscription. Capture and render run locally, so there's no per-minute cloud cost and no watermark; a registered account also gets a small free daily allowance.
Do I need to own the website?
No — it works on any public URL, capturing the page like a screenshot tool. It's designed for promoting your own landing page, but works on any public site you want to turn into a short video.
Can I edit the result?
Yes. The output is a real motion-graphics composition (HTML/CSS/JS + GSAP), so you can re-open it in the embedded Motion Graphics studio, edit any scene and export again.
