Pictory is an AI-powered video creation and editing platform that’s exploding in 2025 for its ability to transform long-form content—like blogs, webinars, or podcasts—into bite-sized, social-ready clips in minutes. Launched in 2019 and refined with Gen2 AI models, it automates the grunt work of editing, captioning, and visual selection, making it a lifesaver for content creators overwhelmed by the short-video boom. With 4.8/5 ratings on G2 from 162+ reviews and a focus on speed (videos in under 10 mins), Pictory shines for its low learning curve and ROI—users report 3x faster production and 2x engagement on platforms like TikTok and LinkedIn. It’s not a pro editor like Premiere, but for repurposing, it’s unmatched.
