About Pictory
Pictory is a hosted AI video generator that builds videos from existing written or recorded material. Inputs include ideas and scripts, web page URLs, documents, PDFs, PowerPoint decks, images, audio and screen or camera recordings, which Pictory converts into captioned videos with narration and visuals.
Editing tools let users change a video by editing its text, add subtitles and captions, translate content, pick music and sound, and extract highlights and short clips. Brand kits, layouts and styles keep output consistent, and the platform supports team collaboration, integrations and an API. AI avatars, voice cloning and dubbing with multilingual voices are also offered.
Pictory is a commercial service with plans listed on the vendor's pricing page. It suits marketers, trainers, educators and social media managers who need to convert blog posts, training material or long recordings into shorter videos.
