We support JPG, JPEG, PNG, and HEIC image formats. For best results, we recommend uploading high-resolution images (at least 512x512 pixels). Maximum file size is 10MB per image.
Most transformations complete in under 10 seconds. Processing time depends on image size, selected style complexity, and current server load. Premium users get priority processing for faster results.
Credits are our usage currency. Each transformation costs 3 credits, regardless of the style chosen. Image upscaling, background removal, and video generation also cost 3 credits per operation. Purchase a subscription plan to get started with credits.
Yes! Paid plan subscribers (Starter and Creator) get a commercial license for all generated images. Free users can use images for personal, non-commercial purposes only. All images remain your property.
We temporarily store uploaded images for processing and keep them in your account history for 7 days (Free) or 30 days (Paid plans). You can delete images anytime from your dashboard. We never use your images for training or share them with third parties.
Absolutely! You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Your access will continue until the end of your billing period, and you won't be charged again. Unused credits don't roll over after cancellation.
Yearly plans save you 35% compared to monthly billing. With yearly plans, you get all credits upfront (e.g., 12,000 credits for Starter yearly vs. 1,000/month). Credits from yearly plans are valid for 12 months from purchase date.
