Subscriptions remove the small mark from GIF and MP4 exports and raise the limit to 1080p and 60 seconds, and they add monthly credits for AI features as they launch; credit packs add credits only. ## Starting for free New accounts receive free credits, and checking in each day adds more. Over a seven-day streak the reward grows from 3 credits on day 1 to 9 on day 7, or 30 credits for the whole week. ## Subscriptions | Plan | Billing | Price | Credits | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Starter | Billed monthly | USD 14.90 | 350 each month | | Standard | Billed monthly | USD 29.90 | 1,400 each month | | Pro | Billed monthly | USD 49.90 | 3,000 each month | | Starter | Billed yearly | USD 149.00 | 350 each month | | Standard | Billed yearly | USD 288.00 | 1,400 each month | | Pro | Billed yearly | USD 360.00 | 3,000 each month | ## Credit packs | Plan | Billing | Price | Credits | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 8,500 Credits | Single payment | USD 199.90 | 8,500 | | 26,000 Credits | Single payment | USD 499.90 | 26,000 | Standard and Pro yearly members get 50% more credits on every credit pack for the same price: the 8,500-credit pack gives 12,750 credits and the 26,000-credit pack gives 39,000 credits. The bonus is applied at checkout while the Standard or Pro yearly plan is active, is shown on the Stripe checkout page, and never expires, like other paid credits. Starter plans and every monthly plan receive the base pack credits. ## Black Friday 2026 offer (until December 1, 11:59 pm PT) Until December 1, 2026, 11:59 pm PT, every new monthly plan gets double credits in month 1 and every new yearly plan gets double credits for the first year, with the extra year of credits added the day you pay. Prices stay the same and no code is needed. Renewals and plan changes use the usual credits. While a plan is active, every credit pack also comes with double credits, which replaces the yearly member pack bonus during the offer; credit packs are for members with an active plan until the offer ends. Details: https://textanimation.org/black-friday ## Credit validity Paid credits from the plans and packs on this page never expire. Unused credits roll over, and cancelling renewal does not remove credits already granted. Yearly plans deliver credits in monthly grants throughout the prepaid term. Paid credits you still hold after cancelling keep working on paid models and settings. Signup and referral rewards last 30 days, daily check-in credits never expire, and expired credits are not reinstated. ## Failed edits, cancelling and refunds When a technical fault stops an AI edit, the credits reserved for it go back to your balance without you asking. A subscription can be cancelled at any time from billing settings through the Stripe billing portal; it stays active until the end of the paid period, and paid credits left over keep working on paid models. Refunds are requested by email only: within 7 days of a payment, if no more than 10% of the credits that payment covers have been used (the whole pack including any yearly member bonus, that month for a monthly plan, or one month of credits for a yearly plan), Text Animation refunds 90% of the amount paid. Credits used from every source count, including reward credits. Credits still remaining from a refunded pack, including its yearly member bonus credits, are removed; for a partial refund they are removed in proportion to the amount refunded. If a credit pack checkout with yearly member bonus credits was started or completed during a yearly plan period, a refund of that yearly payment is reviewed individually by support. Duplicate or mistaken charges are refunded in full after verification. The Refund Policy has the complete terms. ## Official sources - [Pricing](https://textanimation.org/pricing) - [Terms of Service](https://textanimation.org/terms) - [Refund Policy](https://textanimation.org/refund-policy) --- # Text Animation tools > Content revision: 2026-11-10 Each tool page opens its workspace right away with a ready-made example, with no sign-up. ## Text Animation - [Text Animation Styles for GIFs, Videos and Slides](https://textanimation.org/tools/text-animation): Text animation styles in one place: typing, scrolling, handwriting, wave, pop, fade and slide up.

Read why we built it, who uses it and where to send questions. Moving text makes a video intro, a lesson slide or a chat reaction land, but a full motion design suite is a lot of work for one line of words. Text Animation exists to make that one line move without keyframes. Each tool does one job: type a line and pick a typing, scrolling, handwriting or wave style, cut words out like paper for a match cut, build a chat or post mockup, or draw a speech bubble, then download a GIF, MP4 or PNG. Text Animation is built for people who start with a few words and a deadline. Creators open Reels and Shorts with a typing hook, teachers reveal a question one word at a time, meme makers stage a fictional chat, small shops loop a scrolling sale banner, and comic artists add speech bubbles to a panel or a photo. ## Contact Write to support@textanimation.org, or send a message through the contact form. - [Get in touch](https://textanimation.org/contact) ## Legal - [Terms of Service](https://textanimation.org/terms): The terms that govern Text Animation accounts, plans, credits, who owns your text, images and exports, and what use is allowed. - [Privacy Policy](https://textanimation.org/privacy): Which personal data Text Animation collects and why, how long it is kept, and how inputs for AI features reach AI providers. - [Cookie Policy](https://textanimation.org/cookie): The cookies Text Animation uses for sign-in, preferences and referrals, and how you can control them. - [Refund Policy](https://textanimation.org/refund-policy): Paid credits that never expire, cancelling a plan, automatic credit returns for failed generations, and the 7-day refund rule for packs and subscription payments. ## Official sources - [About Text Animation and the Team Behind It](https://textanimation.org/about) - [Contact](https://textanimation.org/contact) - [Terms of Service](https://textanimation.org/terms) - [Privacy Policy](https://textanimation.org/privacy)
