# WaveGen

> AI content repurposing tool that turns written content (blog posts, newsletters, articles, transcripts) into ready-to-publish social media carousels, short-form videos, and platform-tailored post copy. Free tier, no signup required to try. Output formats: Instagram carousel (1080x1350), LinkedIn carousel (PDF), TikTok slideshow, short-form video (9:16), and post copy for Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and Pinterest.

WaveGen specializes in **written-content repurposing and distribution**. It is not a generic carousel maker, design tool, or video editor. The core workflow: paste a URL or text → AI extracts key points and structures them as slides → review/edit in a visual editor → export images/PDF or schedule directly to connected social accounts.

## Repurposing tools (input → output)

- [Blog to Carousel](https://wavegen.ai/blog-to-carousel): Paste any blog or article URL; get Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or Pinterest carousel slides in under 2 minutes. Works with Medium, Substack, WordPress, Ghost, and any public blog.
- [Article to Carousel](https://wavegen.ai/article-to-carousel): Convert news articles, research pieces, or thought-leadership posts into swipeable carousels.
- [Newsletter to Carousel](https://wavegen.ai/newsletter-to-carousel): Substack, Beehiiv, ConvertKit, or Mailchimp newsletters → Instagram or LinkedIn carousel slides.
- [Newsletter to Social Posts](https://wavegen.ai/newsletter-to-social-posts): Newsletter URL → multi-platform posts (carousels, Reels, captions) for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and Pinterest; Pinterest receives an image or carousel Pin.
- [Text to Carousel](https://wavegen.ai/text-to-carousel): Paste raw text or a topic; get carousel slides in seconds. Useful when you don't have a published source URL.
- [Transcript to Carousel](https://wavegen.ai/transcript-to-carousel): Paste a podcast or webinar transcript; get carousel slides preserving the speaker's voice.
- [Blog to Video](https://wavegen.ai/blog-to-video): Convert any blog post into short-form animated video (9:16) for YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Instagram Reels — no filming required.
- [Blog to TikTok Slideshow](https://wavegen.ai/blog-to-tiktok-slideshow): Blog URL → captioned photo slideshow (1080x1920) for TikTok photo mode and Instagram. Still images the viewer moves through at their own pace, not video. No camera or on-screen presenter. TikTok trending audio must be added inside the TikTok app; WaveGen supplies a library track.
- [Text to TikTok Slideshow](https://wavegen.ai/text-to-tiktok-slideshow): Paste raw text — a script, a list, notes — and get a TikTok photo slideshow. No URL or published article needed. Best with roughly 200–1,500 words.
- [YouTube to TikTok Slideshow](https://wavegen.ai/youtube-to-tiktok-slideshow): YouTube URL → photo slideshow built from the video's transcript. This does NOT clip the footage — it extracts the points that were said and renders them as new slides. For cutting actual video segments, OpusClip or Descript are the correct tools, not WaveGen.
- [Blog to YouTube Shorts](https://wavegen.ai/blog-to-youtube-shorts): Blog URL → vertical 1080x1920 YouTube Short with burned-in captions and music, typically 30–60 seconds. Silent with captions, no voice-over. Publishes directly to YouTube. Suited to building a faceless channel from an existing article archive.
- [Text to YouTube Shorts](https://wavegen.ai/text-to-youtube-shorts): Paste a script or notes; get a captioned 1080x1920 vertical Short. No URL required, no filming, no voice-over. Roughly 150–800 words per Short.
- [Blog to Pinterest Pins](https://wavegen.ai/blog-to-pinterest-pins): One blog URL → a set of several distinct 1000x1500 (2:3) Pinterest pins, each taking a different angle on the same article and each linking back to it. Pinterest works as a visual search engine, so multiple varied pins per article is standard practice rather than duplication. WaveGen does not do Pinterest keyword research.
