Frequently asked questions
How can I cancel or update my credit card?
Click on your avatar (profile picture) and then Billing. Within the Billing Portal you will be able to cancel, update your payment method, or download a receipt.
Do you offer API access to your tool?
We are working with a select number of partners at this time. Currently, we are prioritizing potential partners whose users will generate more than 1M images a month. To inquire about potential API use, please fill out this form. We will reach out if it could be a fit.
I've hit my Free generation limit, when will it reset or how do I get more?
Playground v3 limits are based on a rolling 3-hour period, so you can make more as time passes. Your 6 monthly credits renew every month. Pro includes 1,500 credits a month and Pro Plus 6,000.
How do credits work?
Each image uses credits depending on the model, and tools use credits too; sign in to see what each model and tool costs. Your monthly credits are shared across all models and tools. Playground v3 doesn't use credits: it has its own 3-hour limit.
Can I buy more credits?
Yes. On Pro and Pro Plus, a credit pack is $8 for 800 credits, about 200 Auto images ($6 on Pro Plus).
What payment methods can I use?
We only accept credit cards and debit cards at the moment. Contact us at support@playgroundai.com to request other options.
How does copyright work on Playground AI? Who owns the images I create?
You own the images you create on Playground AI. You can use them for personal or commercial use (YouTube, Etsy, Instagram, etc.), as long as you follow our terms.
Why do I sometimes get an error "Please do not use multiple accounts"?
We don't allow you to use multiple accounts to get around our Free limits. If you don't have multiple accounts, this might occur because you're on a public Internet connection where other people are also using Playground AI. You can either buy a Pro plan or use another Internet connection to stop this from happening.
