AI Video Generator Without a Subscription
Pay once · credits never expire · no auto-renewal · no watermark
You want to turn a photo into a short video — not sign up for another $9–$30/month plan. On img2.video you buy credits in one-time packs (from $5.90), pick one of six AI video models, upload your image, describe the motion, and download a clean HD MP4. There is no monthly charge, no auto-renewal, and credits never expire. When you run out, you decide whether to buy more.
What it costs, in plain numbers
Six AI models share one credit balance. The cheapest video is ⚡20 — about $1.65 at the Starter rate. Nothing recurs.
| Model | Default clip | Cost* | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance Mini | ⚡20 (5s · 480p) | $1.65 | Budget clips with audio |
| Kling 2.6 | ⚡20 (5s · 720p) | $1.65 | Cinematic motion, HD |
| Grok Imagine 1.5 | ⚡25 (5s · 480p) | $2.06 | Fastest, native audio |
| Veo 3.1 Fast | ⚡25 (5s · 720p) | $2.06 | Maximum realism, up to 4K |
| Vidu Q4 | ⚡30 (5s · 720p) | $2.48 | 16-second clips, up to 4K |
| Seedance 2.5 | ⚡65 (5s · 480p) | $5.36 | Long-form up to 30 seconds |
*At the Starter rate ($9.90 ÷ 120 credits = 8.25¢/credit). Longer durations and higher resolutions cost proportionally more; the exact total is shown before you generate. Failed generations are refunded automatically.
One-time credit packs
| Pack | Price (once) | Credits | Per credit |

| Plus | $19.90 | ⚡300 | 6.63¢ |
| Pro | $44.90 | ⚡800 | 5.61¢ |
| Max | $89.90 | ⚡2,000 | 4.50¢ |
That is the entire pricing model. No monthly tiers, no plan comparisons, nothing to cancel. If you only need a couple of clips, the Mini or Starter pack covers it; heavier use drops the per-credit price to 4.5¢.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make AI videos without a subscription?
Yes. img2.video sells one-time credit packs from $5.90 for 60 credits. You buy credits when you need them, there is no automatic renewal, and unused credits never expire. Every model on the site — Grok Imagine, Kling 2.6, Veo 3.1, Vidu Q4, Seedance 2.5 and Seedance Mini — runs on the same credits.
Is there an AI video generator with no monthly fee?
Yes — that is exactly how img2.video works. Instead of $10–$30 per month whether you render or not, you pay per video: a 5-second clip starts at 20 credits (about $1.65 at the Starter rate). Months when you make nothing cost nothing.
Can I turn a photo into a video for free?
Partly. Every new account gets ⚡15 free welcome credits — enough for one AI image (⚡10) or to preview the workflow. A full video starts at ⚡20, and first-time buyers get their first video's credits back (up to ⚡50) once it finishes, so your first paid video is effectively free.
Which AI video generator has no watermark?
img2.video. Finished videos download as clean HD MP4 files with no watermark, on every model and every resolution, including the free welcome credits.
What is the cheapest way to make an AI video without a subscription?
The Seedance Mini model at 5s/480p costs ⚡20 — about $1.65 at the Starter rate ($9.90 ÷ 120 credits). Kling 2.6 also starts at ⚡20 with 720p output. Buy the pack that matches your volume; bigger packs drop the per-credit price to 4.5¢.
Do credits expire if I stop using the site?
No. Pack credits never expire and there is no inactivity fee. Your balance sits in your account until you spend it — buy once, come back next month or next year.
