About

Pika 2.2 is Pika's video model: 10-second 1080p clips with Pikaframes (chained keyframe transitions) and effects-native generation (Pikaswaps, Pikadditions).

The stylized/artistic pick — not the realism leader, but the cheapest and most fun for social clips and transitions. Credit-based pricing from $8–76/mo; limited API.
