Pika AI

Pika AI is a web and iOS AI video generation tool for content creators, social media managers, educators, and marketers who need short, shareable video clips.

Key capabilities include:

• Text-to-video creation from prompts that describe subject, action, environment, style, and camera, typically producing 3–10 second videos.
• Image-to-video animation to add motion to photos, portraits, and artwork, with style options such as cinematic, anime, 3D, and realistic.
• Video-to-video remixing to modify existing footage (for example, object replacement, scene extension, or canvas expansion), plus camera controls like pan and zoom.
• Pikaffects for template-style transformations (for example Poke It, Tear It, explode, melt, inflate), along with options like lip sync, sound effects, and social-ready aspect ratios.

Pricing: Freemium. Free plan includes 40 credits for new users and 20 daily check-in credits. Paid plans are one-time payments (currently discounted), including One-Time Basic ($9.99) with 4,000 monthly credits and One-Time Ultra ($19.99) with 10,000 monthly credits; both paid tiers include unlimited models, private generations, commercial rights, and no ads.

Notable for frequent model updates (including Pika 2.1, 2.2, and 2.5) and a Turbo option designed for faster generation, plus availability in integrations such as Adobe Firefly.
