How billing works

Open Canva uses a credit-based billing system. Every generation (image or video) costs a certain number of credits. You receive a monthly credit allocation based on your subscription plan, and credits reset each billing cycle.

Key concepts

  • Credits: The currency for generations. 1 credit = $0.02 in value.
  • Monthly allocation: Each plan includes a set number of credits per month.
  • Per-generation cost: Each generation deducts credits based on the model used and output type.
