Platform Description

Pictory is an AI video creation platform designed to quickly turn text-based content into video. Users simply enter a blog URL, script, document, or PowerPoint file, and Pictory's AI automatically summarizes key messages, builds a storyboard, and drafts a video. Automatic captioning, AI voice narration (standard or ElevenLabs-based), and extraction of key scene highlights are seamlessly integrated into the process, allowing beginners to create high-quality content without any editing knowledge. Pictory also offers a drag-and-drop cloud editor for quick editing, making it ideal for marketing videos, training content, webinar summaries, and more. Depending on your plan, you'll have access to 200 minutes up to 1800 minutes of video production time, millions of stock images and footage, advanced voice options and collaboration features, and the ability to automate video production via API integrations on the Team plan and above. With security compliance (SOC 2, GDPR) and team-based workflow support for enterprise users, it's a great platform for those looking to transform their creative workflows with AI.
