Is there a free image automation API?

Yes. You can start with a free tier that gives you a set number of render credits each month with no credit card required. The free tier is meant for testing a real workflow, so it includes full access to the visual editor and the REST API, not a limited demo.

What the free tier includes

On the free plan you can design templates in the editor, call the render endpoint, and generate images, PDFs, or video up to your monthly credit limit. One credit equals one image, one PDF page, or one second of video. Because you get the same API as the paid plans, anything you build on the free tier keeps working when you upgrade.

What a free tier is good for

A free tier is enough to:

• Build and test a template end to end
• Connect the API to a script or a no-code tool like Zapier or Make
• Confirm the output quality and format you need
• Run a small project or a proof of concept before you commit

When you need a paid plan

You move to a paid plan when you need more render credits or more templates than the free tier allows. Paid plans raise the monthly credit limit and template count, and higher tiers add volume for production use. You only pay once your usage grows past the free limit.

How credits work

Credits are consumed per render, so you can estimate cost by how many images you plan to create. If you generate 400 images in a month, that is 400 credits. Multi-page PDFs and video use one credit per page or per second, so the same credit system covers every format.
