Standard (1 credit) works great for clean logos and graphics. AI enhanced (3 credits) upscales low-res images before tracing, recovering detail from blurry or small images.

Do unused credits roll over?

Monthly credits refresh each billing cycle and don't roll over. Consider a higher tier if you consistently need more.

Is there a free trial?

Yes! Every account starts with 50 free credits and a 14-day trial period. No credit card required to start.
