What Pexo Does

Everything you need to make a short film

Text & image to video

Turn a prompt or a photo into a finished short film

Start from a single line of text or a product photo. Pexo writes the script, generates every shot, and stitches them into one continuous, edited video. You can mix text to video, image to video, and script to video inside the same project, and stay in plain language the whole way. No timelines, no keyframes, no editor to open.

Built for story

Consistent cast, cinematic cut

Pexo structures the short like a real film, with a setup, a turn, and a resolution, scored to the emotion. Characters and locations stay consistent from scene to scene, so it reads as one story instead of clips. You go from a script on a page to a short you can actually screen.

Grade it like a film, not a clip

Pexo finishes your short film with a real cinematic look: warm film-style color, shallow depth, and framing that feels shot rather than generated. The grade carries across every scene so the piece holds together as one film instead of a set of clips. It is the difference between something that plays like cinema and something that plays like a demo.

An original score, written for your story

Pexo composes an original score tuned to the mood and pacing of your short film, so the music rises and falls with the story instead of sitting under it. Tell it the feeling you want and it writes and mixes the cue against the cut, no stock libraries, no clearance worries. The scene finally lands the way you imagined it.

One short film, every aspect ratio

Pexo delivers your short film natively in 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, and 1:1 for feeds, up to 4K and anywhere from 5 to 120 seconds. Each aspect ratio is generated fresh for that screen, with the composition framed for it rather than cropped down from one master. Ask for several formats at once and post the right version to every channel. It looks intentional everywhere it lands.
