Renderforest

Renderforest runs a browser-based design platform from Yerevan, Armenia, where users build videos, logos, images and small websites from templates or with AI tools. Narek Safaryan set it up in 2013; two years later it launched a video maker aimed at users with no design training. Freelancers, small firms, content creators, marketing and HR teams, teachers and corporate learning staff make up most of its users.

What Renderforest offers

• AI video generation — text-to-video and image-to-video, using its own engine alongside several third-party generation models.
• Video templates — over 1,200 templates for intros, animations, explainers, slideshows and social media clips.
• Video editor — an online editor with a library of AI effects.
• Logo maker — logo design from templates or with AI.
• Image generation — text-to-image and image-to-image tools for marketing graphics.
• Website builder — an AI-assisted tool for simple sites, plus a music visualiser for audio tracks.

Who it works with

The platform is pitched at people without design skills, from freelancers and small firms to in-house marketing and internal communications staff. The company reports more than 40 million creators and over 120 million projects.
