Pictory is a web-based AI text-to-video tool that turns a script, blog post, URL, or deck into a captioned stock-footage video with an AI voiceover. Its Black Friday 2026 code Blackfriday2026 takes 50% off the Professional annual plan.

Pictory is an established, web-based AI text-to-video platform. You give it a starting point — a script, a blog post or article, a web page URL, a set of documents, a PowerPoint deck, or an audio recording — and it breaks the text into scenes, matches keywords to licensed stock footage, adds an AI voiceover and captions, and returns a faceless video you refine and export. It runs entirely in the browser at app.pictory.ai; there is no downloadable app. Its newest layer, Pictory 3, is an AI video agent that drafts the script, lays out scenes, and shows a preview for approval before rendering.
Pricing is tiered on annual billing: Starter at $25/month, Professional at $35/month, and Teams at $119/month, with Enterprise quoted on request. Pictory notes that annual billing is up to 40% cheaper than paying monthly. A 14-day free trial with 300 credits (about 10 minutes of video) runs without a credit card. Credits meter output — Starter includes 24,000 AI credits (up to ~360 minutes), Professional 72,000 (up to ~1,080 minutes), and Teams 216,000 (up to ~3,600 minutes).
For Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2026, Pictory is offering 50% off the Professional plan on annual billing with the code Blackfriday2026, entered at checkout. The discount covers Professional only — Starter, Teams, and monthly billing are excluded — and is open worldwide to new users and to existing users upgrading to Professional annual. Professional is the tier that includes Pictory 3, two custom avatars, five brand kits, 20 GB of storage, and 1080p exports. Pictory's voucher page does not list exact deal dates beyond the Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2026 window, so confirm the price at checkout.
Be clear-eyed about what the Black Friday plan actually buys: a fast, affordable way to make one faceless stock-footage video per idea. What Pictory does not do is generate the formats that round out a feed — it has no face-locked persona video, no brand-exact multi-slide carousels, no quote graphics, no blog articles or newsletters, and no cross-platform publishing. [Kompozy](/) is the engine that covers exactly those gaps, and the handoff is literal. Export your finished Pictory MP4, drop it into Kompozy's [Clipped Shorts](/glossary/clipped-short), and it finds the strongest moments, cuts vertical shorts, and re-captions and reframes them for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts — turning one Pictory render into a batch of platform-native cuts.
Beyond reframing what Pictory made, Kompozy generates the content Pictory can't. From the same source idea it produces [Persona Shorts](/glossary/persona-shorts) with a consistent, face-locked avatar (Pictory's stock-footage videos have no recurring on-camera identity), brand-exact carousels through [HyperFrames](/glossary/hyperframes), photo posts, a blog article, and an email newsletter — all governed by one [Persona Brief](/glossary/persona-brief) so a channel reads as a single creator across 18 formats. Pictory is a strong front end for faceless video; Kompozy is the back end that gives that video a face, a dozen companion formats, and a publishing calendar across the eight social platforms plus blog and email.
Blackfriday2026, entered at checkout on pictory.ai. It gives 50% off the Professional plan on annual billing and is open to new users and existing users upgrading to Professional annual, worldwide. Starter, Teams, and monthly billing are excluded. Confirm the discounted price at checkout before paying.
On annual billing Pictory lists Starter at $25/month, Professional at $35/month, and Teams at $119/month, with Enterprise quoted on request. The Black Friday code Blackfriday2026 takes 50% off the Professional plan on annual billing only — it does not apply to Starter, Teams, or monthly plans. Annual billing is already up to 40% cheaper than monthly, and the code stacks on top.
Yes. Pictory offers a 14-day free trial with 300 AI credits (about 10 minutes of video) and no credit card required. It is separate from the Black Friday offer, which is a discount on the paid Professional annual plan.
Pictory is primarily a faceless text-to-video tool that assembles stock footage with an AI voiceover and captions; the Professional tier adds custom avatars. It is not built for a consistent, recurring on-camera persona across every post. For face-locked avatar video that stays identical piece to piece, a content engine like Kompozy generates Persona Shorts from the same script.
Pictory focuses on making and exporting the video; it is not a multi-platform scheduler. To clip, reframe, and publish a Pictory video across TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and more — plus generate carousels, blogs, and newsletters from the same idea — you pair it with a publishing engine like Kompozy, which schedules the full set across the eight social platforms plus blog and email.
