Pika Picks – Showcasing the Best of AI Creativity

What is Pika Picks?

In the rapidly growing world of AI-generated video content, creators often ask: “What’s trending? What does a great Pika video look like?” That’s where Pika Picks comes in.
Pika Picks is the official curated inspiration feed built into the Pika Labs platform. It showcases a selection of the best, funniest, most cinematic, and most creative videos made using Pika’s AI tools. Whether you’re new to Pika or a veteran experimenting with the latest features, Pika Picks is your go-to place to see what’s possible and get inspired.

What Makes Pika Picks Valuable?

1. Curated by the Pika Team

Unlike a random user feed or algorithm-driven explore page, Pika Picks is hand-selected by Pika Labs creative and editorial team. These picks represent:

High-quality prompts
Clever storytelling
Effective use of features (Pikadditions, Pikaswaps, Pikamemes, etc.)
Viral potential or technical mastery

2. Updated Regularly

The feed is refreshed weekly (or more) to feature:

Timely trends (e.g., seasonal themes, pop culture)
Feature demos (e.g., Pikamemes during a new release)
Top user content from across the community

3. Discover New Prompt Ideas

Each video comes with:

A preview (autoplay muted)
The original text prompt
Model used (e.g., Pika 2.1, Turbo)
Optional notes on creative approach or tools

This format helps users reverse-engineer successful videos or remix ideas for their own use.

How to Access Pika Picks

You can view Pika Picks directly inside:

The Pika Labs homepage (after login)

The mobile app home screen

Each entry is clickable, and many include the creator’s handle (if public) and like/share options. If you’re a new user, browsing Picks is one of the best ways to understand what Pika can do.

Prompt Creativity: The more inventive or clever your idea, the more likely it stands out. Try twist endings, surreal juxtapositions, or emotionally resonant scenes.
Technical Execution: Use tools like Pikadditions, Pikaswaps, or camera motion prompts effectively. Crisp, clean videos with logical subject placement perform best.
