About Pictory
Pictory turns text and long content into short, ready-to-share videos. Paste a script or a blog post URL and Pictory picks matching stock clips, adds an AI voiceover, music and captions, and builds a complete video you can edit scene by scene.
It is also useful for repurposing: upload a webinar, podcast or Zoom recording and Pictory helps you cut highlights and turn them into short clips for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn. You can edit the video simply by editing its text.
There is no permanent free plan, but a free trial lets you create a few video projects. Paid plans add longer videos, more voices, brand kits and higher export quality.
