### "AI video editor that is easy to use, saves time and comes at a very good price"

April 14, 2026

5.0

User-friendly AI video generator, saves huge time getting a video done based on other text and image content and having that video easily adjusted afterwards

Pros

Very easy interface, automatically turned blog posts into nice videos that you can easily adjust, tons of free videos and templates, free trial and then a rather cost-effective version, automatically adds captions, great time saver as a whole, especially for marketers with no video editing experience

Cons

I wish there was some option to create videos on a mobile, but so far is it fine to use desktop as well.

Alternatives considered

April 13, 2025

I loved it, I haven't wrote a review in my whole life but decided too today. You also get a free try to do the work it is amazing.

Pros

Was very easy to use. I had to use for a college assignment and was able too.

Cons

Honestly it was a bit laggy but in the end the video quality was amazing.

Excellent for the most part. Be sure and double check the sound levels before publishing though!

### "Pictory for software tutorials"

October 10, 2024

5.0

very happy with the tool. I make tutorials for software and I can use this super features of Pictory for that.

Pros

the user friendly interface, the logical and intuitive functions.

Cons

the changing of the order of the scenes is sometimes a real pain. It often only works when the whole page is just refreshed first (I'M using EDGE).

### "Not pleased so far."

February 27, 2025

5.0

Not being able to download my videos when I want it is actually too bad. It has made my experience very awful. Having to make a video and not sure if it will download immediately is traumatising

Pros

Video generation is top-notch and clear. Loads of visuals

Cons

I’m actually unhappy due to the error message I get when downloading videos sometimes. Currently I’ve not been able to download a video I spent hours working on for the past 48 hours.

### "Pictory rapidly becoming a very comprehensive system"

January 23, 2025

5.0

Overall its an astounding programme and replaces 95% of the work needed to build videos in Premier Pro ect Currently the only limitations are lack of stills and text animation which I hope you will add at some point - the ability to have text appear during the slide, at key moments would elevate the to a truly professional system. Also the option to add a blur filter between the stock video and the text would again lift this.

Pros

Script building and the accuracy of the auto video selection - for the videos I have produce on average 7/10 of the video selected is good.

Cons

I don't think there are enough British voiced ai voices - I also have struggles with the speed of speech and a general feeling that most lack a sales type presence. Lastly, please make the outline/shadow an option and not the default for headings I also think that it would be more useful if the on screen script and script that the Ai uses could be separate to allow for adding characters to overcome pronunciation

Review Source

Response from Pictory

January 24, 2025

Thanks for your feedback! It’s great to know Pictory is working well for you, especially with script-building and the accuracy of auto video selection. A 7/10 is a solid result. You mentioned British AI voices and wanting more variety, particularly with a more engaging, sales-focused tone. Speed adjustments and pronunciation fixes (like adding characters) would also make the voiceovers feel more polished. I’ll pass this along to the team, but you can also share your suggestions directly at https://feedback.pictory.ai/roadmap. Thanks again for the feedback.

### "Super Happy with this tool"

February 22, 2025

5.0

It helps us to create videos in many languages , quick and cheap but with very good quality

Pros

Pictory is incredibly easy to use and very user-friendly. The intuitive interface makes video creation smooth and efficient, even for beginners. It simplifies the entire process and saves a lot of time!

Cons

One small downside is that sometimes finding specific features requires some searching, as they are not always immediately visible. More portugues from portugal (not brazilian) voices will be a plus

December 24, 2024

5.0

Pictory is easy to work with and does most of the heavy lifting for you. The AI is intuitive and while not perfect was much better than the Invideo AI. It helps you make videos with ease and the process is fun and somewhat addicting.

Pros

This is fun software. I bought it for business but also use it for fun.

Cons

I ran out of enhanced voice credits and the only upgrade was for a year when I had a temporary one month shortage.

June 11, 2024

5.0

Pros

The ease with which I've been able to create high quality videos with no previous experience. I am a novice with NO experience creating videos and yet with Pictory I've produced 70+ videos (1 -15 minutes long) over the last 9 months. LOVE it! The result is HIGH quality videos that I can quickly edit if needed.

Cons

No complaints here. It does what it promises and it's easy!

### "Super Simple Video Creation That Saves You Time"

March 20, 2024

5.0

I love the ease and speed with which videos can be created with Pictory.

Pros

I just input the text, and the software will select the videos for me and caption them. I just need to spend some time editing the videos for some scenes and also splitting scenes when there's too much text on a particular scene. The recent collaboration with ElevenLabs and Getty Images has boosted the quality of the videos.

Cons

The auto voice generator can often mispronounce certain terms. Also the limit is videos of 20 minutes.

Reason for choosing Pictory

It was on a LTD on AppSumo and got a medium tier.

March 16, 2024

It's simple to use and has great features. Pictory offers a vast media library that ensures you never run out of content. The AI does all the hard work for you, making video creation quick, easy, and cost-effective. Create branded video snippets from long-form videos, make engaging video highlights and Transform blog posts into videos. It doesn't get any better than Pictory. We included Pictory in our list of the top resources we recommend. \[sensitive content hidden\]

Pros

What I love about Pictory is the video highlights. You can upload a longer video and it automatically creates shorter videos automatically. No work required. Adds subtitles and you can add b-roll. I have been teaching my students how to use Pictory as part of their social media marketing strategy. Pictory leverages AI to simplify and enhance the video creation and editing process. It’s user-friendly, cost-effective, and packed with features that can take your video content to the next level.

Cons

The AI Video suggestions are ok. I add all stock videos manually.

August 5, 2023

5.0

Pros

I love that Pictory is so easy to use that one can figure it out without having to watch a bunch of tutorials. My goal is to save time and Pictory definitely does that! I can upload my transcript and then while it is processing, I can work on other tasks. After it is ready, I can then edit the script, graphics, add voice-overs and background music, adjust the timing of each slide, add transitions, and much more to truly make it my own.

Cons

I would like to have a wider range of AI voices to select from and a bit more transitions. The transitions sometimes seem choppy but overall, there are enough for a good-quality video.

### "Hashtag Trending - a daily news tech podcast moves from audio only to video on YouTube"

April 23, 2023

5.0

My goal was simple. I have a hit podcast with high levels of audio production and great content. I wanted to move that to video and YouTube, but its daily and at least for the conceivable future will not earn money. So I needed a quick way to construct a video to augment the audio, but it has to look professional and have excellent graphics.

Pros

It's the ease of use and speed with which it produces a quality product. I don't have time to learn all of the mechanics of editing and production with a new tool. It automates the whole process, but it looks great.

Cons

There are a couple of things about it that are problematic or not as easy. I find placing your own text on a scene (or slide) is workable but not easy. I've made some mistakes that took time to fix. I wish the branding elements were as easy and as creative as the rest.

Reason for choosing Pictory

I check out reviews to save time. This software was highly thought of by at least one intelligent reviewer.

### "Don't Read the Bot Reviews - Read This"

January 5, 2023

4.0

Not proactive with regards to communication of potential site issues. I'm currently being ghosted with questions of "when" the site will have full functionality again. With so many issues, follow-up is critical... in their case? Its not even on the radar.The site just feels like a project that was not ready to roll out for proper/advertised functionability. Spent a few extra dollars elsewhere ...

Pros

Its marketed as easy an easy to use drop down video generation doftware. When properly functioning, it is a very basic and servicable option.

Cons

Pictory operates as if its under a beta testing mode. Randomly, you'll experience site failures and inconsistencies. For the past 2 weeks, the video generation option has been down. No word (literally) on its status changing.Audio / Voice over upload to text is off. A 5 min audio, read from a script, will generate an 8-10 min video - which results in unnecessary time spent editing.Some of their background music does not pass Youtube copyright claims - meaning you get a strike, not a copyright claim with approved use.I could go on ...

### "A Vidnami REPLACEMENT in the making"

July 30, 2021

5.0

The major problem Pictory solves was the amount of time wasted having to first identify the main keywords of my blog post and then locate videos in stock websites that match the keywords. I will then have to copy the content from my blog post into a text to speech SaaS and then export to my computer and import to Davinci resolve to a timeline. I will then have to upload the stock videos to Davinci Resolve and then trim to match the specific sentence. The entire process takes almost an hour. Although, with Pictory, the process takes less than 20 minutes tops.

Pros

\- Ease of Use when selecting videos to match text - Fairly accurate transcription - Good feature set. Pictory UI is very intuitive. I was able to easily jump in and use the Article to Video module for my existing blog posts. The Ai b-roll video selection isn't the best but the ability to perform a refined search for a replacement video was easy. The additional tweaking necessary to create a usable video still requires less time, then having to manually go to a stock video website download the asset, then import to a video editing program and then match with a specific sentence. The edit videos with voice using text feature is amazing. The ability to quickly edit out all the filler words is amazing. The cut is a little abrupt, but it's better than hearing the filler word. I was also able to trim down an existing video asset to include only highlights at record time. Before, I had to remember certain sections of the video to cut. Now, I can easily skim through the script and highlight the key talking points in the video and voilà, done and done. I love it.

Cons

\- Filler word cut out is abrupt - Limited number of usable Ai text to speech voices - Inability to use pre-recorded voice over for all slides. (I currently have to use another text to speech software for each slide) this just takes too long. I ended up just using Pictory text to speech voice out of frustration. At least there is one usable voice that doesn't sound too robotic.

My overall experience with victory I would say has been good.

Pros

I like the script to video feature and the article to video feature.

Cons

I haven’t found a way to set the aspect ratio for a video prior to creation; and once you create a video with a specific dimension, when you go to resize it for another platform, it doesn’t resize well. For instance, when you make a YouTube video 16:9 and go to resize it for TikTok video 9:16 the images exceed the border. It would also be nice if victory had a talking avatar creation feature. It could also be a little faster.

Thanks Walter for sharing your feedback with us. It’s great to hear that you’re enjoying the script-to-video and article-to-video features. I understand the challenges with resizing videos for different platforms. It’s definitely something we want to make more user-friendly. Also, a talking avatar feature could be a fun addition—would love for you to share that idea on our feedback roadmap at https://feedback.pictory.ai/roadmap.

Overall, I would say I am happy with the videos I have created using Pictory.

Pros

The instructions to use Pictory are easy to understand and implement. Also, the quality of the videos is excellent.

Cons

Some of the images Pictory uses as defaults in a video do not fit the subject, even though they do fit the title of the project and the words used.

Initially, it took a bit of getting used to but I believe they are continually improving their product.

Pros

The more you use it the more familiar it becomes. Also, customer support has been beneficial.

Cons

I need to use Alamy for some paid images since images for certain, specific people or companies are not available in the Pictory library. Unfortunately, using Alamy can become a bit expensive. Maybe in the future Pictory could include Alamy either as part of their library or as a paid add-on.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Pictory

Better reviews. Beter value for the money.
