What is Pictory?

Pictory is an AI video creation platform that turns ideas and existing content into videos. Users can begin with a prompt, script, web link, PowerPoint presentation, images or audio recording. Its AI video agent prepares a script, organizes scenes and creates a preview, which users can refine through chat or a scene-by-scene editor before generating the final video.

The platform combines AI-generated images and video clips with stock footage, music, AI voices, avatars and automatic captions. It can assign visuals, narration and captions to a script, turn podcasts into videos, and translate videos into other languages. Subtitle exports are available in SRT, VTT and text formats. Brand kits help maintain consistent styling, while team plans add shared assets and collaboration.

Pictory uses a shared credit pool for usage-based AI features. All plans include its AI video toolkit, with allowances varying by credits, users, brand kits and storage. Annual subscriptions provide credits upfront, and a free trial includes 300 credits without requiring a credit card. An API is also available for automating video creation.
