Overview

VideoGen makes it easy for anyone to create professional, copyright-free videos in seconds. Our AI video generator turns a prompt, script, or article into a finished video, complete with AI voiceover, subtitles, and b-roll, powered by the latest models like Seedance, Veo, ElevenLabs, and Kling. Today, over 5 million users trust VideoGen, from individuals and small businesses to teams at Google and ByteDance.

Making videos is hard, time-consuming, and expensive if you hire someone to do it for you. With VideoGen, it only takes a few clicks! Try it at https://videogen.io/, or build video into your own product with our API: https://videogen.io/videogen-api

Origins

👋 Hello, we’re Anton and David. We bootstrapped VideoGen out of our college dorm rooms to over 1 million users in under a year. We met at a Tennis Academy in middle school and became friends over a shared passion for building web apps and playing tennis. Now, we’re changing the way the world creates videos with the help of AI.
