Do I need to show my face on camera?

No. We turn your book's scenes into cinematic videos with AI. No camera, no face, no filming. Your story goes on screen; you stay behind the scenes.

What happens to my books? Are they used to train AI?

Your manuscript is used only to generate your own content. We do not use your books to train general-purpose AI models. Your work stays yours.

How does the free trial work?

One free video, forever. No credit card. Upload a scene or describe one, and see what your book looks like on screen. Upgrade when you're ready for more.

What genres do you support?

We're optimized for romance (including dark romance, paranormal romance, and romantasy), fantasy, thriller, literary fiction, and non-fiction. These cover the biggest BookTok niches. Other genres still work. Just upload and try it.

Can I change or cancel my plan?

Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime from your account. No lock-in, and we don't use your content after you leave.

Can I use Pharos for multiple books or a whole catalog?

Yes. Upload as many books as you want — every book gets its own moments, characters and videos, and your plan's monthly volume is shared across your whole catalog.

Upload your book. Get the scenes.

Pharos reads your actual manuscript, finds the moments worth filming, and turns them into cinematic videos you can post. No camera, no editing, no face on screen.

How it works

Step 1: Upload your book. Drop a PDF, EPUB, or DOCX, or paste a scene. We extract your strongest moments.
Step 2: We find the hook. We pick the moment that makes people stop scrolling and want more.
Step 3: We turn it into a short video. A ready-to-post 9:16 video with an optional quote overlay; no filming, no editing.
Step 4: Share it instantly. Download or post straight to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, right from Pharos.
