Pictory: Turn scripts and blog posts into stock-footage videos automatically

Checked · Compiled by AI for My Craft

Pictory takes a script, article URL or long video and automatically assembles a short video: it selects matching stock footage, adds captions, voiceover and music. Quality is 'good enough for social and marketing' rather than cinematic, which is exactly what real estate agents making listing videos or creators repurposing blog content need. No editing skills required at all.

Pricing: paid from $25/mo — Starter plan, billed annually ($29 billed monthly); free trial with watermark.
