FAQ.
Formats, limits, pricing, and the API.
What can I feed Simi?
A PDF, Word doc, PowerPoint, Markdown, or plain text file — or just type a prompt. A single sentence or a full document both work; Simi reads the source and turns it into a narrated whiteboard explainer.
How fast is it, and how long can a video be?
A one-minute explainer takes about 40 seconds to generate. Most plans make videos up to about five minutes; longer runtimes are set up through a Business plan. You spend roughly one credit per second of finished video.
What do people use Simi for?
Onboarding and training, customer walkthroughs, lessons and study notes, product explainers, and internal docs.
Is there an API?
Yes. Simi has an HTTP API, Python and Node SDKs, and an MCP server so agents can make videos directly. Everything is in the docs.
How do credits work?
One credit is roughly one second of balanced-quality video. Every plan comes with a monthly credit allowance, and annual billing saves 40%.
Do you offer student pricing?
Yes — students get discounted plans inside the app.
