How Google’s Notebook LM Converts Your Notes to Engaging Videos—No Design Skills Needed
When you have notes, Notebook LM connects words to images and voice. You put in your text, and it links ideas to create a video. You see text and images join close together. This tool puts your words and visuals side by side, keeping each pair of ideas close. With one click, you get a spoken video made from your own notes.
Here is why this update matters and how it changes your content work.
Convert Text to Video in Minutes
Notebook LM used to change text into a podcast. It now links text to images and sound. The tool works in a few steps:
• You add your file. It can be a PDF, Google Doc, Word file, webpage, or a YouTube transcript.
• Notebook LM reads your text closely. It then links ideas to create a short slideshow with a clear voice.
• The images come directly from your file. Diagrams, quotes, or charts appear as needed. The tool uses your words to find related art.
Six Visual Styles That Match Your Look
You get six art styles from a model called Nano Banana. Pick one with no extra design work:
• Watercolor: Soft strokes that bring a calm feel.
• Papercraft: Looks like a cut-paper project that feels playful.
• Anime: Bright, strong, and full of life.
• Whiteboard: Plain and clear, made for learning or work.
• Retro Print: Style drawn from classic poster art.
• Heritage: A style that gives a vintage look.
A click changes the style. The tool links one idea to the new style with little delay.
Choose Video Length to Fit Your Purpose
Two formats come with the tool:
• Brief: A 30-second to 1-minute clip that fits social posts or short reels.
• Explainer: A video between 5 and 12 minutes that suits full tutorials or training talks.
Each word, image, and sound stays near its pair. This makes it fast and clear for viewers.

Great for YouTube Creators, Social Media Managers, and Teachers
If you often change written content to video, this tool cuts waiting time. It helps:
• YouTube creators set up their scripts with close links between text and image.
• Social media managers make many short videos from one post without extra help.
• Teachers upload notes and get a clear video for lessons.
• Marketers test different styles and video lengths to see which link best with their crowd.
Even the slides can become thumbnails. Each slide links quickly to a snapshot that grabs attention.
Options for Export and Editing
Notebook LM makes a complete video base for you. You still can adjust it:
• Use screen-recording software to capture the video.
• Save slides as images to add to your video editor (Premiere, Final Cut, CapCut).
• Record your own voice with the AI text as your script.
• Add music or sounds to match your look.
Each part of the video stays linked close to the next. This keeps production quick and clear.
Current Use and Points to Think Over
Right now, the tool works mostly on a desktop and in English. Soon, more languages and mobile access will join. If you do not see the video option yet, check back later.
Keep these points in mind:
• Only use files that you own or have the right to use. Do not upload protected files.
