What are credits
Credits are usage units for metered actions in Polotno Studio – renders via Automation, and AI generation. A credit tracks what an operation costs us, so cheaper models cost fewer credits. Sound doubles the rate on Veo 3.1, Kling 2.6 and Seedance 1.5 Pro; on Seedance 2.0 it is included.

Frequently asked questions
General
Q: What can I use Polotno Studio for?
Polotno Studio is a full canvas design editor plus an automation API. Design templates by hand, then auto-generate images, hi-res exports, GIFs, videos, image & video carousels, and PDFs – manually in the editor or programmatically via the API and integrations.
Q: How is Studio different from the Polotno SDK?
The SDK is the embeddable creative editing infrastructure you integrate into your own product. Studio is a hosted, self-serve product: the same editor plus cloud storage, projects, brand kits, and an automation API – no code required to get started.
Q: How long do renders take?
It depends on complexity. Simple images render in about 1–2 seconds. Videos and multi-page PDFs take longer since they process more frames/pages.
Q: Where can I find the API documentation?
The latest API reference is available here.
Account & billing
Q: Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan lets you use the full editor with a small monthly credit allowance. No credit card required. Upgrade when you need more credits, storage, or longer render retention.
Q: How do I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
You can upgrade or downgrade at any time from your account settings. Changes take effect immediately and your credit allowance adjusts to the new tier.
Q: How do I cancel?
You can cancel anytime from your account settings. You'll keep access until the end of your current billing period.
Q: What happens to my designs and renders when I cancel?
Your account drops to the Free tier. Designs you've saved remain accessible within Free limits; rendered outputs follow the Free retention window, and anything beyond your storage allowance may be removed.
Q: What happens if my payment fails?
We'll email you and retry the payment over the following days. Your plan stays active during this window so your work isn't interrupted.
Credits
Q: What is a credit?
Credits are usage units for metered actions in Polotno Studio: automation renders (images, GIFs, videos, PDFs) and AI generation. A credit tracks what an operation costs, so cheaper models cost fewer credits. As a baseline, one standard image render = 1 credit.
Q: How many credits does each operation use?
Consumption is weighted by operation:
- Standard image render (PNG/JPG, ≤3000²): 1 credit
- Hi-res image (>3000²): 3 credits
- PDF: 3 credits per page
- Video: 1 credit per second, plus overlay frames
Q: What happens if I run out of credits?
The operations that require credits will stop working. You can buy a top-up pack for more credits straight away, or upgrade to a higher plan for a larger monthly allowance.
Q: What are top-up credits?
Top-up credits are extra credits you can buy anytime, on top of your plan's monthly allowance. They roll over for 12 months and are used only after your monthly credits run out.
Q: Do my monthly credits roll over?
No. Your plan's monthly credits reset at the start of each billing cycle. Only purchased top-up credits roll over (for up to 12 months).
Storage
Q: What counts toward my storage?
File storage covers your working assets: saved designs, uploaded images, and fonts. This is separate from render retention, which is how long generated outputs stay available for download.
Q: How long are my rendered outputs kept?
Render retention scales with your plan, from a short window on Free up to longer (or permanent) retention on higher tiers. After that, outputs are removed from our CDN.
Q: Can I use my own storage bucket?
Bring-your-own storage (AWS S3 / Cloudflare R2) is available on our highest tiers for compliance, retention, and data-residency needs.
Automation & integrations
Q: What integrations do you support?
A full REST API, coming soon are no-code integrations with Zapier, Make, and n8n, so you'll be able to wire Studio into thousands of other apps and automate generation end to end.
Q: What are dynamic fields?
Name any layer with the {} convention (e.g. {headline}) and it's automatically exposed via the API. Send values for those fields and Studio renders a personalized version. No extra setup.
Q: Can I get notified when a render finishes?
Yes. Render-complete webhooks POST the signed output URL to your endpoint with an HMAC signature and automatic retries.
Editor & templates
Q: Can I upload custom fonts?
Yes. Upload OTF, WOFF, or WOFF2 fonts and they become available in the editor and in your brand kits.
Q: How many designs and templates can I create?
There's no limit on how many designs or templates you create. You're only bounded by your plan's file storage.
Q: Does Studio support other languages and scripts?
Yes. Studio works with all languages, including Chinese, Arabic, and Thai, as long as you use a font that supports your writing system.
Q: What's a brand kit?
A brand kit stores your logos, colors, and fonts so they're reusable across designs. Brand kits are scoped to a project and referenced by designs, not duplicated.
