Can you make a new Sora video now?
No. As of November 9, 2026, OpenAI’s Sora web and app experiences have been discontinued, and the Sora API has also been discontinued. That means there is no current Sora workflow or production API to follow for generating a new video. OpenAI dates the web and app discontinuation to April 26, 2026, and the API discontinuation to September 24, 2026. (help.openai.com)
Export videos you already made
If you created videos with Sora before it was discontinued, OpenAI’s Help Center says you can request an export:
- Go to
sora.chatgpt.com/sunsetand sign in if prompted. - Select Export.
- Watch for an email from OpenAI when the export is ready.
OpenAI recommends exporting your Sora content as soon as possible. Its Help Center says data associated with Sora may be permanently deleted after any final export window ends. (help.openai.com)
What about Sora API tutorials?
Don’t use an older Sora API tutorial to build a new integration. OpenAI lists September 24, 2026 as the API discontinuation date. An OpenAI-hosted Sora 2 prompting guide is also marked as archived and may refer to outdated models or APIs, so its former endpoint examples are not a current production path. (help.openai.com)
Bottom line: You can’t currently make a new video through Sora or its API. If you already made videos, use the export page to request a copy.
