Welcome to Creatomate
Creatomate is a platform for creating videos and images through automation. Most people use it for social media, marketing, and video automation.
You don't need to be technical to get started. The platform offers multiple approaches, from simple spreadsheet-based workflows to advanced API integrations, so you can choose what works best for your skills and needs.
Option 1: Simple automation
The easiest way to get started with automation is by using a spreadsheet.
For example, you might:
- Generate 100 videos from 100 spreadsheet rows using a single design template
- Create social media visuals for an entire month in advance, all at once
- Automate the production of personalized videos for thousands of customers

Automate Images using a Spreadsheet
The same principles apply to image automation, using a slightly different template.
Option 2: Integrate with Creatomate's API
Creatomate is built with a strong focus on developers and API integration. This allows you to create any type of video or image using a REST API.
For example, you might:
- Use your preferred programming language (Python, JavaScript, etc.) to create videos
- Add video or image generation capabilities to an existing application
- Build a SaaS or service that leverages Creatomate's features

Building a Full-Stack Solution
In addition to the API, Creatomate provides a front-end SDK that extends its browser-based tools.
Option 3: Using no-code automation
Built on top of the API, Creatomate is officially supported by popular no-code platforms including Zapier and Make.com.
For example, you might:
- Build automations using a visual, drag-and-drop interface without coding
- Set up automated workflows using any combination of over 8,000 supported apps
- Generate daily AI-powered videos that automatically post to social media
