How AI is used

Creatomate is a cloud-based media automation tool for developers and no-code users. It allows businesses to create video and image templates that can be automatically populated with text, images, or clips via an API or spreadsheet.

The platform supports various workflows, from simple no-code automations to application integrations using a REST API and JavaScript Preview SDK.

Buyers should confirm their technical requirements when choosing a plan. While basic automation is available via no-code tools, embedding a video editor into a custom web application requires the JavaScript Preview SDK, which is available on Growth plans and above.
