What does "free" actually mean here?
Most "free AI video generator" tools are not really free. They let you build a video, then cap the export or lock it behind a paywall at the moment you try to download. TapVid takes the opposite approach: a free plan with limits you can read up front, including the watermark and resolution, so you know exactly what you get before you spend time on it.
A free AI video generator turns a prompt, a script, or a document into a finished video without paying or installing anything. With TapVid, the free plan gives you real credits to generate an actual video with motion graphics and narration, not a locked preview. The table below spells out the limits.
Because the output is editable, a free video is still one you can revise: change wording, colors, or pacing by prompt and re-render. When you need more, upgrading is a choice, not an ambush at the download button.
From a prompt to a free video
Describe your video
Start with a prompt, a script, or a document. No install, no credit card, no locked trial.

AI generates a real video

How TapVid credits work
Credits are how you pay for video: 3 credits equals 1 second, so a 30-second clip is about 90 credits and a minute is 180. You only pay for what actually renders. The free plan gives you 300 one-time credits, valid for 7 days, and paid-plan credits roll over for a month.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. You get 300 one-time credits (valid for 7 days) to make a real AI video for free, with no credit card required to start. The free plan has clear limits, listed on this page, rather than a trial that locks your video behind a paywall at the end.
- On the free plan, yes: free exports are 720p and include a watermark. Every paid plan, starting with Pro, is watermark-free with 1080p exports. We would rather tell you that up front than surprise you at the download button.
- You can explore and build for free. Generating and saving your video uses a free account so your work and credits are tied to you. There is no credit card required to create that account.
- The free plan includes 300 one-time credits, valid for 7 days, which is about one short video with clips up to 1 minute. Credits are spent at 3 per second, so a 30-second clip is about 90 credits and a shorter clip goes further.
- Commercial-use terms depend on your plan. Check the current terms in the app before using a free-plan video in paid advertising or a client deliverable.
- Sora and Veo generate photoreal footage you cannot reliably edit. TapVid generates editable motion graphics from your prompt, so a free video here is one you can revise element by element and keep on-brand, not a one-shot clip.
- A full AI video: explainers, product demos, social clips, and announcements, generated from a prompt, a script, or a document, with motion graphics and narration.
- You can keep the videos you already made and upgrade for more credits, longer videos, and higher limits. There is no auto-charge; upgrading is a choice you make when you are ready.
