Turn a sales proposal into a three-minute video
Upload the proposal you are about to send. DocReel writes a script from it, draws animated scenes for the problem, your offer, the price and the next steps, and narrates it. Send the link with the PDF, so the people who weren't in the meeting get the short version.
Sample: “Managed IT support for Ashby Dental Group” (3:21)
- Made from: a 2-page proposal from a made-up IT support company to a made-up dental group. We wrote it for this demo.
- Settings: for Adults, length “Fit the document”, no instructions. Made on 13 November 2026 on the Pro plan.
- Downloads (with Plus and Pro): subtitles SRT · VTT, slides (PDF).
- Editing: none. This is the video exactly as DocReel made it.
Your proposal gets forwarded to people you never met
The decision is often made by someone who wasn't on the call and won't read ten pages. A short video walks them through it in your order.
The proposal, in three minutes
The problem, what you offer, the price and what happens next, each as a scene, with the numbers taken from your document.
Your logo, not ours
On Pro, your logo is on every video and the closing card, and there is no DocReel badge.
No recording, no retakes
You don't record your screen or your voice. When the quote changes, upload the new PDF and make the video again.
Where teams use it
With the proposal email
Put the video's link above the PDF, for the people who will only give it a few minutes.
For the buying group
The manager, the finance lead and the owner each get the same walk-through, without another meeting.
Following up
Send the video a few days later as a reminder of what was offered and when the quote runs out.
How to turn a proposal into a video
Nothing to install, nothing to film and no editing software.
Sign in and choose the settings
Sign in with your email. Choose “Adults” under Made for and a short length. Add instructions if you like, such as “Start with the customer's problem”.
Upload the proposal
Upload a PDF or Word (.docx) file, or a slide deck saved as PDF. On Pro, tick “Let me check the script” to edit the wording before the video is made.
Check it, then send
Watch the whole video and check every price and date. Then send its link with the proposal, or download the MP4.

What to know before uploading a proposal
Tips for a good proposal video
- Anyone with the link can watch. Videos aren't password-protected, so leave out anything you wouldn't want forwarded, and don't upload confidential terms.
- Check every number. Watch the video against the proposal: prices, dates and names must match exactly. On Pro, check the script first.
- Keep it short. Choose the “Short” length and upload the summary pages, not the terms and conditions.
- Lead with their problem. A proposal that starts with what the customer told you makes a better video than one that starts with your company history.
- Videos are kept while you subscribe. On Free they are deleted after 30 days, so a link in an old email stops working.
Privacy
- Anyone with a video's link can watch it, including people it is forwarded to. Don't upload personal information or confidential material.
- Uploaded documents are deleted 30 days after upload. Free videos are deleted 30 days after they're made.
- To make the video, your document's text is sent to Anthropic (Claude) to write the script, and the narration text to Google (Gemini) for the voice; OpenAI or our own server is the backup voice. The privacy policy has the details.
Questions about proposal videos
Will the customer see DocReel branding?
On Free, yes: a small docreel.app badge and a short closing card. On Plus there is no badge. On Pro your own logo is on the video and the closing card.
Is the video private?
Only people who have the link can watch it. Each video gets a random address such as docreel.app/v/9pdfk7x3 (that one is our sample video): eight random characters, one of about 850 billion possibilities, so it can't be found by guessing. Videos aren't listed anywhere on DocReel, and search engines are told not to index them. There is no password or sign-in for viewers, though, and anyone you send the link to can forward it, so don't upload confidential material.
Can I see if the customer watched it?
In My videos you can see how many times each video has been played, but not who played it.
Can I use a slide deck instead of a document?
Yes. Save the deck as PDF and upload it. The PowerPoint to video page (linked at the bottom of this page) has the steps.
Can I check the script before the video is made?
Yes, on Pro. Tick “Let me check the script before the video is made”. We email you the script; change the wording of any scene, approve it, and only then is the video made.
Does the video have captions?
Yes. Captions are on the video by default. On Plus and Pro you also get SRT and VTT caption files to upload with the MP4, and you can choose to leave the captions off the picture and use the file only.
Can I pay yearly or get a receipt?
Yes. Plus and Pro can be paid yearly ($50 or $150 a year, 2 months free). The receipt for every payment is in Manage subscription (in the account menu), ready to download. Payment is by card; sales tax is added where it applies.
How long does it take?
Most videos take about 5–15 minutes; long documents can take longer. You can close the page. We email you a link when your video is ready.
Can I make videos in other languages?
The video uses the language your document is written in, so a Spanish document becomes a Spanish video. On the Pro plan you can also pick another language for the video (15 languages), and DocReel translates the script.
How accurate are the videos?
DocReel builds the video from your document, but it can make mistakes. Watch it before you share it. If something needs fixing, choose Make a new version and describe the change; on Plus and Pro, the first new version of each video is free.
