What is a video invitation maker?
A video invitation maker turns your event details, photos and music into a short invitation video you share. In Pictory you type the details, pick a format and a look, add your own photos and a track, and download the video invitation as an MP4.
A card that plays. Pictory works as an AI invitation maker and a video card maker: each line you write becomes a scene, with a visual behind it and the words on screen. Send the finished video in a message or post it for your guests.
The AI invitation video maker is free to try, online in your browser. For a video of the day itself, see the birthday video maker or the wedding video maker.
