Creative & business
Ship it by hand today, automate it via API next quarter.
You don't have time to stitch three tools together. Zvid is one platform: a browser editor and 400+ templates to make a promo this afternoon, and a JSON render API for when you're generating thousands. Same engine, same output, one bill.
For founders
From first render to full automation
When you're small, every subscription and every context-switch costs you. Zvid collapses the stack: open the browser editor, drop a free template from the 400+ library onto a multi-track timeline, and export a finished, hosted MP4 at cdn.zvid.io — all on the free plan with 1,200 credits, Full HD, no watermark, and no credit card. Video is billed at 1 credit per second at or below Full HD, so you only pay for what you render.
Then your growth turns manual work into a bottleneck, and the same platform is already the API. Every project you build in the editor doubles as a reusable template: bind {{placeholders}} to your data, POST the JSON, and Zvid renders it deterministically with FFmpeg. Batch up to 5 items per call on Free, and up to 500 as you upgrade — usage-based pricing that scales with you instead of forcing a rebuild on a new tool.
What you get
Built for the do-it-all early team
Ship free, day one
The free plan gives you 1,200 credits, up to 300 seconds per video, Full HD resolution, and no watermark on any plan — no credit card required to publish your first promo.
No new tool to learn later
Every project you build in the browser editor doubles as a reusable API template, so the promo you hand-make today becomes the endpoint you automate next quarter.
Pay only for output
You're billed by output — 1 credit per second at or below Full HD, and 10 images for 1 credit — so spend tracks exactly what you render.
Start from a template
Pull from 400+ ready-made video and image templates across 23 categories; free ones open in the editor with one click, then bind to variables and render via API.
Batch your whole launch
Send up to 5 renders per call on Free (up to 500 as you grow) with best-effort validation, one batch id for status, and a dashboard fix-and-resubmit.
Let an AI agent build it
The MCP server exposes 30 tools so an agent authors your JSON, and a free pre-flight validator checks it against your plan limits before a single credit is spent.

The features that make it work
Credits & Fair Pricing
Usage-based credits with no surprises: one second of Full-HD video costs one credit, ten images cost one credit, and there’s no watermark on any plan.
Templates & Library
Hundreds of ready-made video and image templates across 23 categories. Open one in the editor, or render it with your own data via the API.
JSON Video API
Render a finished, hosted video from one authenticated POST. Send an inline JSON project or a template id and get back a job you can poll or get pinged about.
Image Rendering
Generate still images — thumbnails, banners, OG cards — from the same JSON that renders video. PNG, JPG, or WebP, with transparency, at 10 images per credit.

Explore →Marketing teams
Turn one on-brand template into a full campaign of videos and social images. Bind {{variables}}, fire a bulk call, and get back hosted cdn.zvid.io URLs — no designer in the loop.
Explore →Agencies
Turn one brand kit per client into hundreds of on-brand deliverables. Store a template, bind {{variables}}, and fire up to 500 renders in a single call.

Frequently asked questions
Can I really ship something today without paying? +
Yes. The free plan includes 1,200 credits, up to 300 seconds per video, Full HD, and no watermark, with no credit card required. Open the editor, start from a free template, and export a hosted MP4 straight away.
What happens when I outgrow doing it by hand? +
Nothing to migrate. The same project you built in the editor is already a template — bind {{placeholders}} to your data and POST the JSON to the render API. Zvid resolves it server-side and renders deterministically with FFmpeg.
How does pricing scale as we grow? +
It's usage-based: 1 credit per second at or below Full HD, higher resolutions cost more per second, and 10 images equal 1 credit. You pay for what you render, and bulk caps rise from 5 items per call to 500 as you upgrade.
