What is PixVerse?
PixVerse is an AI video generation platform that turns text prompts and still images into short videos. Creators use it for social clips, product shots and cinematic scenes, with motion controls that shape how the camera and subject move.
The free Basic plan gives 60 initial credits plus 30 daily credits refilled at 0:00 UTC, with 540p exports and a watermark. Paid plans lift the resolution to 720p, remove the watermark and add more credits, with Standard at $10 a month, or $8 billed annually.
The current V6 engine is known for stylized character work and a strong anime and cel-shaded look, and it supports output up to 1080p before upscaling. PixVerse runs in a browser studio and on iOS and Android, with a Discord interface as well, and it ships video templates and effect styles to speed up short-form creation.

Videos made on a paid plan export without a watermark and include commercial use. The free plan's exports are watermarked at 540p, so they suit personal testing rather than client or commercial work.
