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; access is already gone. Rebuild your workflow on a replacement.
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.
Migration checklist
The service has already shut down: gather any local copies, exports, and email attachments you still have.
Save billing and invoice history for your records.
Find your old API keys and stored credentials (password manager, repos) so you can revoke them.
List the workflows and integrations you actually depend on.
Pick a live replacement below that matches how you use it.
Recreate and test one critical workflow on the replacement first.
Cancel the old subscription so you are not billed again.
Revoke the old API keys and remove stored credentials.
