Four free video courses, screen-recorded on the real product: every click on screen, from the first video to publishing, three to five minutes a lesson. English and Hindi. No account needed to watch.
Faceless channels
Your first video, Shorts, styles, motion engines, presenters, publishing, autopilot and dubbing.
Small business
A promo in five minutes, a product ad from one photo, free posters, video answers to customer questions, a weekly autopilot.
Agencies and freelancers
Client kits, a client promo, near-free revisions, review links, clips, dubbing upsells, team roles and finding the next client.
Instructors and coaches
Syllabus from a description, on-screen teaching slides and code, quizzes, a course page and the students it brings.
Features
Everything a faceless channel needs - no other tools required.
Describe what you teach and get a full course: a planned syllabus, rendered video lessons, and a beautiful shareable course page with modules, progress tracking and student email capture. Sell it anywhere - the videos are yours.
Hooks, open loops and payoffs engineered for watch time. 7 narration tones + full prompt control.
Budget OpenAI voices (~20× cheaper) or premium ElevenLabs. You can also clone your own voice - consent is required and recorded.
4 looks - Bold, News, Minimal, Documentary - with headlines that slide, rise or fade in. Free on every plan.
Turn stills into real moving footage with fal or Google Veo 3 - or directed Ken Burns, free.
Put yourself on screen from your own photo, or use a character invented with AI portraits - nobody real. Using anyone else’s likeness requires their consent, which we record. Facecam bubble, split-studio or full screen; idle loops keep them on screen between speeches for pennies.
Debate format writes a real two-host episode - questions, answers, the mic passing sides. One render outputs the split-studio video AND a free MP3 for podcast platforms.
Priced by length, not per video - and ~2× faster to render: up to 200 video-minutes a month on the $29 plan.
Any video you own (or one you rendered) comes back speaking Hindi, Tamil, Spanish and 24 more - background music preserved, translated captions burned in, spoken by a preset, custom-designed or your own cloned voice. From 10 credits per minute.
Re-roll any image, edit its prompt, or upload your own photo or clip for a single scene.
Word-by-word brand-styled subtitles that keep viewers glued.
AI hero shots + bold two-tone hook text. A/B options in the Thumbnail Studio.
Full-frame 9:16 Shorts composed for phones - never letterboxed. Choose crop-to-fill or natively drawn portrait visuals, full or cliffhanger, funneling viewers to your long video.
Upload a podcast or interview; AI reads the whole transcript, finds the hype moments and scores them. You pick, and each becomes a vertical clip with captions of the exact words - nothing is produced until you choose.
Pick a CC-licensed track by mood, and Chitrio builds beat-synced visuals to its length - every cut lands on the detected beat, and the artist credit writes itself into the description.
Upload a song you own and paste its lyrics: every word appears on screen at the exact moment it is sung, over AI visuals with the same character in every scene. Built for bhajan, devotional and lyric-edit Shorts.
Upload your real product and pick ad scenes from a visual gallery - slow-mo splash, unboxing reveal, studio spotlight and more. Your exact design is composed into each scene, you approve the previews, and only the ones you approve get animated.
Step by step, and what it costsEvery plan includes free daily tools: cut three 15-second vertical statuses from any finished video (WhatsApp Status, Instagram Stories, Shorts snippets), make branded quote cards, and generate captions + hashtags - none of it uses your credits.
Bulk-generate from topic playlists and auto-upload daily - a hands-off channel.
Views, watch-time and revenue pulled from YouTube Analytics.
Produce end to end in 13 languages - English, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Spanish, French, Polish and more - script, voice and captions. One click renders the same script in up to 3 languages at once. Then dub into 27.
Writer → Editor → Manager approval gates with roles and permissions.
Connect and publish to multiple YouTube channels from one workspace.
Save a channel’s voice, language and style - switch the whole look in one click.
New & rolling out

Debate format scripts a real conversation between AI presenters; one render produces the split-studio video and the MP3 episode.
About the name
Because the name should describe the machine.
Chitrio comes from the Sanskrit chitra - a picture - the root of chalchitra, the Hindi word for cinema: “moving pictures.” Fused with I/O, the oldest idea in computing: input → output.
That is literally what this machine does: your story in, moving pictures out. You bring a topic, a story, or just your voice - Chitrio writes the script, speaks it naturally, paints the scenes, animates them, captions every word and designs the thumbnail. Even a two-host podcast, with faces, from a sentence.
And the mark says the same thing in one glyph: a speech bubble whose tail is a play cursor - the moment your words become moving pictures.
Two ways to make a video
Most tools force the choice on you when you pick a plan. Here it is a switch on each render.
Lite
For volume
About 5 minutes of video per credit
Priced by length instead of per video, and renders roughly twice as fast. Everything that makes a video look designed is still on.
Skips paid AI motion, the premium voice and 4K.
Best for posting daily, faceless channels and building a library.
Cinematic
For the ones that matter
Real generated motion, up to Veo 3 in 4K
Priced per video, because every animated scene is a real call to a video model. This is the mode for a video that has to land.
Costs more per video, so use it where it earns its place.
Best for a launch, an ad, or the video you are counting on.
It is a per-render choice, not a plan. Publish all week in Lite, then render the one that deserves it in cinematic, from the same script and the same credits.
Pricing
Motion engines, studio voices, courses, dubbing and product ads are on every plan, from $12. Higher plans add 4K, more channels and a lot more videos.

Honest comparison
Every number below is from each tool's own pricing page - no estimates, no cherry-picking.
| Runway Pro | Pictory Starter | Chitrio Pro | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price / month | $28 | $29 | $29 |
| What that actually buys | ~3 min of generated video | 200 min of slideshow video | Finished videos, script to upload |
| Writes the script for you | - | - | yes |
| AI voiceover | yes | yes | yes |
| Burned-in captions | - | yes | yes |
| Thumbnail designed for you | - | - | yes |
| Publishes to your YouTube channel | - | - | yes |
| AI motion (real generated video) | yes - that is the product | no, stock + slideshow | yes, optional per scene |
Where Pictory wins
200 minutes for $29 is a lot more minutes than we give you cinematically, and that is real: a slideshow from stock footage never calls a video model, so it costs them almost nothing. If sheer volume is what you need, our Lite mode does the same job - 200 to 3,000 minutes a month depending on plan.
Where we win
Runway generates beautiful clips and stops there - you still write, narrate, caption, edit and upload. We hand you a finished video with a thumbnail, ready to publish, and you can put real AI motion on the scenes that deserve it.

FAQ
None. You enter a topic; the app writes the script, generates the voiceover and visuals, adds captions and a thumbnail, and renders an upload-ready MP4. You can edit anything, but the defaults are production-ready.
