PIKA AI FAQ
Quick answers about Pika text and image generation, Pikaffects, Pikaswaps, Pikadditions, social formats, prompts and credits.
Pika creates short AI videos from text, images and existing clips. Its tools focus on social video, creative effects, object changes and quick visual ideas.
Pikaffects apply ready-made visual changes to a subject or scene. They work well for fast, playful clips when you want a clear effect without writing a long prompt.
Pikaswaps replaces an object or selected part of a video. Pikadditions places a new person, object or visual element into the clip while keeping the original scene and movement as a base.
Upload an image with one clear subject, then describe what should move and how the camera should react. Keep the first prompt simple so you can see which part needs more direction.
Yes. Pika is suited to short visual hooks, reactions, effects, product moments and character clips. Choose a vertical format when available and keep the main action easy to see on a phone.
Put the main action first, then name the camera move and speed. Keep the request to one short moment, and make a new clip when the story changes place or action.
Available length, resolution and format settings depend on the Pika model and tool you choose. Check the controls shown for the current generation before you create it.
Text generation, effects, additions, swaps, length and quality can require different amounts of processing. Review the credit cost displayed before you start each generation.
