## FAQ

**Is Cinel AI free?**

There is a free tier with 10 Silver credits per day, unlimited use of FLUX.2 Klein 4B and Kolors, and trial access to some other models. Free outputs from free models are watermarked and limited to personal non-commercial use. The site notes that free availability and queue times can vary.

**Do I need an account?**

The site says eligible free image generations are available without signing in. An account is needed for creation history, daily credits, purchases and memberships.

**Are the credits a subscription?**

No. The paid plans on the pricing page (Basic $9.99, Plus $19.99, Pro $49.99 and Ultra $79.90) are one-time credit packs, and the credits never expire.

**Which models does it offer?**

Image models include GPT Image 2 and 2.5, Nano Banana 2.1 and Pro, Seedream 4.0 to 5 Pro, FLUX.2 Klein 4B and Kolors. Video models include Seedance, Kling 3.0 and O3, Veo 3.1, MiniMax H3, Wan 2.5 to 2.7 and Grok Imagine. Cinel is not made by these providers and routes requests to them.

**Can I use the output commercially?**

Paid packs include commercial rights, but the FAQ says use also depends on the provider terms, third-party rights and Cinel's Terms, and users should review outputs before publishing. Free outputs are for personal non-commercial use.

**How long are my uploads kept?**

Per the FAQ, signed-out uploads stay only in the browser, and signed-in uploads are kept for 30 days and then deleted automatically.
