Pictory

Pictory converts written content — blog posts, articles, scripts — into video presentations using AI-matched stock footage, background music, and text overlays. It automatically selects relevant visuals for each section of your text and produces a polished video in minutes. The platform also handles video summarization, taking long videos and creating highlights or trailers. The auto-captioning feature adds accurate subtitles, and the brand kit ensures consistent colors, fonts, and logos across all videos. Pictory is aimed at content marketers who want to repurpose written content as video without learning video editing. The output is clean and professional for marketing and social media, though it relies on stock footage rather than generated visuals, which can feel generic. The text-to-video conversion is genuinely useful for turning blog content into YouTube videos or social clips.
