An open-source tool built on the Claude Skills mechanism that automatically converts static PDF documents into animated, narrated, interactive web-based e-books with embedded quizzes. The project is released under the MIT license.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The Papermorph project can automatically transform static PDFs into animated, narration-capable, interactive-quiz-enabled web e-books.
Papermorph started as a Claude Skill, with the goal of converting a book into a series of instructional videos.
Papermorph's processing pipeline is: PDF → book planning → storyboard scripting → narration generation → animation and quizzes → web e-book.
Papermorph's core driving force is Opus 5.5 combined with this Skill.
Papermorph has not yet integrated any image generation model, relying solely on a language model to parse PDFs and organize content.
Papermorph's animation presentation layer is implemented through code (web animations), rather than directly rendering pixel images.
The approach of using language model output code for rendering is more controllable and cost-effective than directly calling image models, and does not suffer from the hallucinatory visual errors common in diffusion models.
Pure code animation struggles to render photorealistic visuals, limiting its expressiveness for content types that require real image assets.
The Papermorph author's next planned step is to introduce image models for storyboarding, in order to handle picture book and humanities documentary content.
Papermorph is open-sourced on GitHub at https://github.com/DozenTwelve/Papermorph, under the MIT license.
