It runs on the web, iOS, and Android, with batch editing, layers, masking tools, cloud sync, and AI retouching. A free plan is available. The Pro plan includes 8,000 AI credits and 1,000 exports per month for up to 50 seats. Max provides 25,000 AI credits and 3,000 exports monthly, also for up to 50 seats. Ultra provides 75,000 AI credits and 10,000 exports monthly with the same seat limit. Enterprise uses custom credits and includes adjustable AI Shadows, visual QA tools, SLA and SSO, plus dedicated onboarding and support. The listed plans do not include prices. These plans set different monthly allowances for AI processing and exports, while the editing features support both batch workflows and individual image adjustments. Cloud sync extends the workflow across supported platforms, and masking and layers provide control over image composition.
