Free AI video generators: what each free plan includes
19 video tools we track have a free plan or free starting credits. Free tiers differ a lot: some give one-time credits, some refill daily or monthly, and many add a watermark or exclude commercial use. This page lists what each vendor's own pricing page or help center says, re-checked on Oct 20, 2026, 10 PM ET.
Where a vendor doesn't say (for example, the free plan's export resolution), the cell reads "Not stated" instead of a guess.

Free AI video generators without a watermark
Pika lists "no watermark" on the free plan.
Fliki, HeyGen, Kapwing, OpusClip, quso.ai, and Synthesia state that free exports carry a watermark. For the rest, the pricing page doesn't say either way.
Can you use free AI video for commercial work?
Not on every plan. LTX Studio and Pika say the free plan has no commercial license or is for personal use only.
None of the free video plans we track states commercial rights on its pricing page. Wan 2.2 is different: it is open weights under the Apache 2.0 License, and its repository says the authors claim no rights over content you generate, within the license's terms.
If you need commercial rights, check the cheapest paid plan in the tables above, then confirm on the vendor's terms page.
Free trial vs free plan
A free plan has no end date; a free trial gives you a paid plan for a set period or a fixed number of videos. D-ID, Pictory, Riverside, and Submagic offer a trial rather than a free plan:
- D-ID: D-ID offers a trial rather than a free plan. The Studio trial has a full-screen watermark and a personal-use license.
- Pictory: Pictory offers a free 14-day trial rather than a free plan.

Free plans we couldn't confirm
Kling AI: we couldn't confirm a free plan on the vendor's own pages, so it isn't in the tables above.
- Kling's membership page lists paid plans only. It mentions "Daily Free Credits for Subscribers", which is a subscriber benefit, not a free plan, so we couldn't confirm a free plan there.

Free plans across every category, including voice and music, are on free AI video & voice tools, and the free plans cheat sheet sums up the free tiers in one place. For voice and text to speech, see free AI voice generators.
FAQ
What is the best free AI video generator?
We don't rank by quality. The video generators we track with a free tier, and what it includes: Fliki: 3 credits a month; Hailuo AI: one-time trial credits (Hailuo models only); Higgsfield: limited set of models, no credits; invideo AI: limited credits, reset weekly; Krea: 100 compute units a day; LTX Studio: 800 one-time credits; Pika: no monthly credits (credit packs only); Runway: 125 one-time credits; Wan 2.2: open weights (Apache 2.0); you supply the compute.
Is there a free AI video generator with no watermark?
Pika lists no watermark on the free plan. Fliki, HeyGen, Kapwing, OpusClip, quso.ai, and Synthesia add a watermark to free exports.
Can I use free AI video commercially?
Usually not without paying. LTX Studio and Pika exclude commercial use on the free plan; the others don't state it on their pricing pages. Wan 2.2's open weights are licensed under Apache 2.0.
What is the difference between a free plan and a free trial?
A free plan has no end date but comes with limits. A trial gives paid features for a set period or number of videos. D-ID, Pictory, Riverside, and Submagic offer a trial instead of a free plan.
Do free AI video credits roll over?
Usually not. Runway's and LTX's free credits are one-time; Krea's free allowance refills daily; Pika's Free plan has no monthly credits and works with credit packs. Each tool page explains its credits.
