What is a video template?
A video template is a ready made video project with the layout, text, and scenes already arranged. Instead of building a video from a blank timeline, you replace the placeholder content with your own clips, words, and brand colors.
Templates are useful when the format matters more than the footage, like a hiring post, a course launch, or a weekly tip. The structure is done, so the work is mostly deciding what to say.
- Faster first draftStart from a finished layout instead of an empty timeline.
- No editing skills neededTiming and transitions are already set. You swap content, not settings.
- Consistent outputReuse the same template and brand settings so every video in a series matches.

| Best for | Recurring formats like hiring posts, promos, and tips | One off videos with a structure of your own |

A video template is a ready made video project with the layout, text, and scenes already arranged. You replace the placeholder content with your own clips, words, and brand colors instead of building a video from a blank timeline.
Are Piktochart's video templates free?
Yes. You can open, edit, and export any of these templates on a free Piktochart account, no credit card required.
Do I need video editing experience to use a template?
No. The layout and timing are already set, so you only swap in your own content. Everything is drag, drop, and trim, with no tracks or keyframes to learn.
Can I use my own footage in a video template?
Yes. Replace any clip with a video you upload, a screen recording, a clip from the built in stock library, or a clip generated with AI.
Can I make Instagram Reels and TikTok videos from these templates?
Yes. Use the video cropper to export the same template as vertical for Reels and TikTok, square for feeds, or widescreen for YouTube and presentations.
Can I add my brand fonts and colors to a template?
Yes. Change the text, fonts, and colors to match your brand. Your brand settings are saved, so the next template you open can look like your last video.
Can I add music and captions?
Yes. Add a track from the built in audio library or upload your own. Recordings are transcribed automatically, so you can pull captions from the transcript.
Do I need to download any software?
No. Templates open in Piktochart's online video editor, which runs in your browser. Your project saves as you go and is available on any computer you log in from.
What is the difference between a video template and a video editor?
A video template is the starting point, a pre designed project. The video editor is the tool you use to change it. In Piktochart, every template opens in the same editor you would use to build a video from scratch, so you can change as much or as little as you want.
