How Credits Work: Costs, Balance and Expiry

What uses credits in AI Icon Creator, what is always free, where to check your balance and history, and when credits expire. No surprises before you generate.

Back to help center

Credits pay for the work the AI does for you: generating an icon, creating a new version with an edit, converting to SVG or PSD, and running the image tools. Every button shows how many credits it will use before you click, and downloading your icons is always free.

Where to check your balance

  • In the studio, your balance is shown at the top of the page.
  • In the account menu, the Credits row shows your balance and links to the full history.
  • On the credits page, you'll find your balance, every credit you've received or used, and when each batch expires.

When credits expire

Credits come in batches, and each batch has its own expiry date:

  • Monthly plans: each month's credits last until the end of that billing month.
  • Yearly plans: credits arrive every month, and each month's credits last until the end of that month.
  • Credit packs: one year from purchase.
  • Sign-up credits: 7 days.

You'll find every batch's date in the Expires column on the credits page. Credits that expire soonest are used first, so you don't lose them. See the pricing page for plans and credit packs.

When you don't have enough credits

If a generation would need more credits than you have, the studio shows "You're out of credits" with a link to get more. Nothing is charged. You can top up from the pricing page.

Credits are never charged for refused settings

If a colour or setting doesn't work with a style, or you've reached the limit of 4 icons at once, the request is stopped before it starts and no credits are used. If a generation starts but doesn't finish, the credits are returned automatically; see what happens when a generation fails.
