What is a LinkedIn video maker?

A LinkedIn video maker turns a script, a blog post or a web page into a short professional video for LinkedIn. In Pictory you choose a square or vertical format, edit the scenes, add captions and a voiceover, then download the MP4 to upload yourself.

Your thinking, on video. The article or newsletter you already wrote becomes the script, so a LinkedIn video takes minutes, not a shoot.

Pictory is a LinkedIn video creator that runs in your browser and is free to try. Start from a post with blog to video, or see the social media video maker for other feeds.
