# Migrating off Rephrase.ai (2026) - Verdict

**Status: Dead · Feb 26, 2024.** Rephrase.ai has shut down.

Rephrase.ai was a Bengaluru-based text-to-video platform (Rephrase Studio) that generated presenter-led videos with digital avatars from typed scripts; its 50,000+ customers included Mondelez (the Cadbury #NotJustACadburyAd campaign), Microsoft, IBM, DBS and Comcast.

## What this means

The service is no longer operating. The wind-down is complete. Signups closed after the Adobe acquisition, existing accounts ran only until a termination period announced on 2024-02-26, and the website has been offline since late 2024 (Wayback shows 403 on 2024-10-05 and 404 from 2024-11-13 onward; direct connections fail as of 2026-07). There is no remaining export path or billing relationship; videos not downloaded before termination are not recoverable through the product.
