Common questions

Can I cancel Pro whenever I want?

Yes. Cancel or turn off auto-renew from your account settings (we use Stripe's customer portal). You keep Pro access through the end of the period you already paid for.

Is there a free trial for Pro?

The Free plan is the trial: unlimited core generation and exports with no watermark. Use it as long as you like; upgrade to Pro when you need translation, emojis, faster exports, and the rest.

What payment methods do you accept?

Cards and other options supported by Stripe, depending on your region. Checkout is secure and handled by Stripe—we don't store your full card details on our servers.
