About Pictory
Pictory is an AI video generation platform built around turning scripts, articles and long videos into polished short content. Its tools include Script to Video, which produces a fully edited video from a written script with stock footage, voiceover and captions, Article to Video for blog-to-video repurposing, Edit Videos Using Text that lets users delete sentences from a transcript to cut the underlying video, and Highlight Reels for trimming long recordings into shareable clips. Pictory ships AI voices, an extensive stock library, automatic captions in many languages and branded templates. It is aimed at marketers, course creators, coaches, publishers and businesses that produce video at scale without large production budgets, and is sold on Standard, Premium and Teams plans with monthly limits on video output.
