How do credits work in Rendair AI?
Last Updated: Feb 19, 2026
Answer
Short answer:
Credits are the currency used to generate, edit, and animate visuals on the platform. They do not expire as long as you maintain an active subscription, allowing you to accumulate them for larger projects.
Overview
Rendair AI operates on a subscription model designed to support professional workflows. Rather than limiting you to a daily cap or forcing you to use resources immediately, the credit system offers flexibility. You receive a set allocation of credits based on your plan, Student, AI Creator, Pro, or Team Pro, which you can use whenever you need them. This ensures that your capacity to create scales with your workload, not a calendar reset.
How it works
The system is designed to be low-friction. You do not need to manually purchase credit packs constantly; instead, your plan replenishes your balance automatically.
Acquiring credits
When you subscribe to a plan, credits are added to your account balance. New users also receive 20 free Chat credits as a trial to test the capabilities before committing to a subscription.
Using credits
Credits are consumed when you perform generative actions. This includes:
Generation: Creating new images from text, sketches, or 3D inputs.
Editing: Using in-painting, removing elements, or modifying specific areas of an image.
Animation: Generating videos from still images.
Upscaling: Increasing the resolution of your outputs (up to 8K depending on the tool).
Rollover policy
Your credits remain valid and roll over month-to-month provided your subscription is active. This is particularly useful for architects who may have quiet weeks followed by intensive deadlines requiring heavy rendering volume.
Managing your balance
Understanding how to maintain your credits is essential for long-term project management.
Active subscriptions: As long as you are subscribed, your credits are safe. They accumulate and are available for use at any time.
Cancellations: If you cancel your subscription, any unused credits are lost immediately.
Pausing: If you need a break but want to protect your account status, you can pause your plan for up to 3 months.
Storage: Storage is not tied to credits. Subscribers enjoy unlimited storage for their images and videos, regardless of their current credit balance.
When to use this
Project spikes: Accumulate credits during slower periods to handle heavy rendering needs during final deadlines.
High-resolution output: Save credits to upscale approved concepts to 4K or 8K for final client presentations.
Video exploration: Use available credits to turn static renders into short animations for social media or marketing contexts.
Limitations or notes
Trial limits: The 20 free Chat credits are for trial purposes to evaluate the quality of the tools.
Plan tiers: While credits fuel the generation, your specific plan (e.g., Pro or Team Pro) determines other factors like queue priority and privacy settings.
