Creatomate is a cloud platform for automating video and image generation at scale. It combines a visual template editor, spreadsheet-driven bulk rendering and a developer API, so one design can produce thousands of data-personalized videos automatically.
Instead of editing every video by hand, you design a reusable template with dynamic placeholders for text, images, video clips, audio and shapes. Creatomate then fills those placeholders from a spreadsheet feed, a form, or an API call, and renders finished MP4s or images in the cloud. Marketing teams use it for localized ad variants and product videos, publishers for automated news and sports clips, and SaaS products to offer video generation inside their own apps. Animations, transitions and compositions are handled in the editor, and the JS Preview SDK lets users preview templates before rendering. Templates can be versioned and shared across projects, and renders run on Creatomate’s managed cloud infrastructure, so output quality stays consistent whether you render ten videos or ten thousand.
Creatomate uses credit-based subscriptions: one image costs 1 credit, and one minute of 720p video costs roughly 14 credits. Essential is $41/month billed annually ($54 monthly) with 2,000 credits; Growth starts at $99/month billed annually with 10,000 credits and API access; Beyond starts at $249/month billed annually with 50,000 credits. A free trial with 50 credits is available with no credit card required.
Developers, marketing teams and agencies that need to generate personalized or localized videos in volume, and product teams embedding automated video creation into their own platforms.
