Frequently Asked Questions

Does Crayo offer a free plan or free trial?

Crayo does not currently offer a free subscription plan or trial period. However, several standalone utilities — including an audio balancer, video compressor, and MP3 converter — are available for free without signing up.

What types of videos can I create with Crayo?

Crayo supports multiple short-form formats through pre-built workflow templates: split-screen videos, Reddit story videos, fake-text conversation clips, streamer highlight reels, and ChatGPT-style videos. Each template automates the heavy lifting of layout, captions, and audio.

Can I use my own footage, or does Crayo only work from links?

You can import footage by pasting a YouTube or TikTok URL, uploading your own video files, or generating content from a custom text script or Reddit post URL — giving you multiple entry points depending on your workflow.

What is the AI video generation feature and is it included in all plans?

Crayo integrates VEO3 AI video generation, which lets you create new video footage from prompts. This feature is available on all plans but requires an additional credits top-up purchase beyond the standard monthly subscription.

How does the credit and export system work across plans?

Each subscription tier provides a monthly allocation of workflow credits and video export minutes. Moving to a higher tier unlocks more credits, longer export time, additional voiceover minutes, and more AI image generations per month.
