Creatomate
API and template editor for automating video and image production at scale.
About
Creatomate is a creative automation platform that generates videos and images programmatically through a REST API. Users design templates in a visual editor or write RenderScript JSON, then render thousands of personalized variations by swapping text, images, and clips via API, with auto-transcription and animated subtitles built in.
The platform targets marketing teams and SaaS products that need branded video at scale: personalized ads, social content from spreadsheet data, and automated workflows through Zapier, Make, n8n, and Pabbly. Pricing is credit-based across Essential, Growth, and Beyond tiers, with SDKs for browser preview and server-side rendering.
