Billing & Credits
Processing is always free — you see a watermarked preview first, then download the full quality result:
- Non-AI tools (convert, trim, resize, effects, GIF…) download free on every paid plan, with no daily limit. A free account gets 2 downloads a day for clips up to 30 seconds and 1080p: the clip you upload or the result has to fit (a merge of several clips counts its result). Anything longer or larger needs a plan.
- AI tools (upscaling, background removal, 60 FPS, subtitles…) cost credits. Every account starts with 5 free AI credits. Plans add monthly AI credits: Lite 50, Pro 300, Business 1,500.
AI download pricing
Three simple tiers based on what you're downloading from an AI tool:
| Tier | Credits | What qualifies |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 2 | Images, audio files, GIFs, videos under 30 seconds |
| Medium | 5 | Videos 30 seconds to 3 minutes |
| Large | 10 | Videos over 3 minutes, or 4K resolution |
Examples
| File | Tier | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| AI upscaled image | Small | 2 |
| 15-second background removal | Small | 2 |
| 1-minute 60fps interpolation | Medium | 5 |
| 5-minute AI subtitles | Large | 10 |
| 4K video background removal | Large | 10 |
Subscriptions
Every plan downloads non-AI results without limit, within its file size, length and resolution limits, and includes AI credits that refill each month: Lite ($5.99/month) 50, Pro ($14.99/month) 300, Business ($39/month) 1,500. AI downloads cost the same credits as pay-as-you-go. Need more? Buy credit packs anytime.
Credit packs
AI credits can be purchased at editclips.online/pricing. Credit packs never expire. They pay for AI tools only.
How it works
- Process — Upload your file and click Process. All processing is free.
- Preview — See a watermarked preview of the result.
- Download — Non-AI results: free on any plan, or one of your free daily downloads. AI results: pay their credits.
API & MCP
The REST API and the MCP server need a paid plan (Lite or higher) and follow the same rules as the site: non-AI results are included in your plan, and AI results cost the same credits, charged once when the result is ready.
Nothing is held when a job is created. An AI job your balance can't cover is refused up front — pass durationMs, width and height so the estimate matches the result. If the finished result costs more than your balance, the job completes but stays locked until you top up and request it again.
