Description
Pika is an AI creative platform that brings video, image and audio generation into one set of tools. Instead of building around a single model, Pika gives users access to a wide range of third-party models, including Seedance 2.5, MiniMax H3, Wan 3.0, Nano Banana 2, GPT Image 2.5 and ElevenLabs' speech models, alongside its own Pika 2.5, Pika Speech, Pika Music and Pika Soundtrack models, all through a shared set of apps.

The platform is organized around focused apps rather than one general prompt box. On the video side, Video Studio generates anything from a short clip to a 30-second multi-shot sequence, Extend Video lengthens existing footage by generating extra frames, Motion Transfer applies motion from a reference clip, and Color Grade adjusts a clip's color, contrast and mood. Pika Soundtrack scores any clip automatically, matching music, ambience and foley to the action on screen.
On the image side, Image Studio and Create Image generate imagery, Character Studio lets users build a reusable custom character, Product Shot creates styled product images without a physical photoshoot, and Edit Image can swap, remove or restyle elements within an existing image. Pika also added Create Speech and Create SFX, generating voiceover and sound effects to match a project.
Pika offers a free plan with limited parallel generations and watermark-free output, then paid tiers: Starter at $10 a month for 900 monthly credits, Creator at $35 a month with a commercial license and higher parallel limits, and Fancy at $95 a month with unlimited parallel generations, priority queue access and early access to new models. Annual billing cuts the price by 20 percent, and there is a custom Enterprise plan for studios and teams. A separate Pika API Club gives developers API access to the same models.
Pika is built for ad creatives, video editors, marketers and filmmakers who need finished-looking video, image and audio content without switching between separate tools for each model. Because it routes work through multiple third-party models alongside its own, exact capabilities and pricing per model can change as Pika adds or swaps out providers.
