Pika Labs, often called simply Pika, is a powerful and rapidly growing platform for generating video using artificial intelligence. Launched in late 2023 (Pika 1.0), it quickly gained attention for its intuitive interface and ability to create dynamic video clips from various sources. Users can generate videos simply by entering a text description (Text-to-Video), uploading an image (Image-to-Video), or even modifying an existing video (Video-to-Video). Pika stands out with its AI-based editing capabilities: the "Modify Region" feature allows changing or replacing objects within a specific area of the frame using text prompts; "Expand Canvas" makes it possible to extend the video boundaries and change its aspect ratio (e.g., from horizontal to vertical); features for quality improvement (Upscaling) and applying various artistic styles are also available. The platform aims to democratize video creation by providing tools that do not require deep knowledge of video editing or special effects. Pika is a direct competitor to platforms like RunwayML and targets content creators, marketers, designers, and anyone looking to quickly create short videos for social media, advertising, or personal projects. Access is via a web interface (pika.art), although it initially gained popularity through Discord. Pika offers a free usage plan with watermarks and generation limits, as well as paid subscriptions for more credits, priority access, and watermark removal.
