General

• Where do I find Envato's AI tools?

  All of Envato's AI Tools live in one place. Log in to your account and head to Generate from the Envato menu. Log in to your account and head to Generate from the Envato menu, and you can create images, video, music, sound effects and voice from a single interface — no need to move between separate tools. Your work is grouped by session rather than by tool, so everything you made in one sitting sits together in a single timeline. Editing opens in a view above whatever you're working on, so you don't lose your place. 

  The Flow view shows the sources and generations behind a session, making it easy to pick up where you left off or take a different direction. You can also drop assets straight from an active Workspace into a generation to use as references — including files you've uploaded to that Workspace from your own device — and Shortcuts are available from the landing page.

• Can I reuse my own files as references without re-uploading them?

  Yes. Upload a file into a Workspace once — drag it onto a Workspace page, the Workspace panel, or the references modal — and it stays there for you to reuse across Envato, instead of uploading the same file every session. Workspace uploads can be used as references when you generate and when you search for photos. Support for music references is on the way.

• Are there generation or download limits for the AI tools?

  AI credits vary by plan.

  • Core Plan: Individual, Team and Student plan customers on the Core plan will receive 20 AI credits a month.
  • Plus Plan: Individual and Team plan customers on the Plus plan will receive 200 AI credits a month.
  • Ultimate Plan: Individual and Team plan customers on the Ultimate plan will receive 500, 1000 or 2000 AI credits a month, depending on your selection. AI generations are subject to our Fair Use Policy.
  • For Enterprise customers, access to AI and applicable generation limits will depend on your specific account plan and terms. Reach out to your Account Manager for more information. AI generations are subject to our Fair Use Policy.

  Some AI actions, like creating an image, will use fewer credits, while the more complex tools, like scaling up a video, will use more credits. You can read more here: How are AI generations counted?.

  As our creative assets and AI tools are subject to the our User Terms, and Fair Use Policy, please remember:

  • The subscription is for an individual (or a specific number of people with our Team or Enterprise accounts).

AI Image generator

• Can I use the images I generate in commercial projects?

  Yes, you can use any AI generated images in personal, client, or commercial projects, as long as they’re part of an end product. Our licensing is simple and built for real-world creative use. See our licensing terms.

• How do I access AI Image generator?

  All of Envato's AI Tools live in one place. Log in to your account and head to Generate from the Envato menu.

• How should I start using the AI image generator?

  Start with simple prompts. Initially, use basic terms like “sunset,” “forest,” or “cat.” This approach helps you understand the range of styles and capabilities of the tool. Once familiar, you can start experimenting with more complex ideas, such as describing the subject in more detail e.g. describe the scene, time of day, elements you want included or expressions.

  You can also try “enhance prompt” which will add more details to your prompt to deliver better results without you needing to manually provide extra descriptions to your prompt.

• What types of styles can I expect from AI Image generator?

  Our AI is capable of creating a wide range of artistic styles, from realistic portrayals to abstract interpretations. As you experiment with different prompts, you’ll discover various artistic renditions the AI can produce. E.g. you’ll witness illustrative, photo realistic, neon, explosive, poster, oil painting and more appear depending on your search. Once you find a style you like you can change the subject to create your vision.

• How can I get the specific image I have in mind?

  Once you know what you’re looking for, refine your prompt by adding more detail. Describe the scene, mood, objects, and any specific elements you wish to include. The more detailed your description, the closer the result will be to your vision. For example, instead of just “cat,” try “a fluffy white cat under a blooming cherry tree at sunrise.”

• Are there any limitations to the kinds of images I can generate?

  While our AI is pretty versatile, it’s still in beta, so you might run into the occasional hiccup with complex or abstract prompts. You can’t use it to generate inappropriate, offensive, or harmful content. All generations must comply with our Product Terms and Acceptable Use Policy. We’re constantly improving the tech, so expect things to get better with time!

• How can I improve the quality of the images I generate?

  Practice and experimentation are key. Try varying your prompts, observe the outcomes, and adjust accordingly. Detailed and creative descriptions often yield the most striking images.

• Are images created with AI Image generator pre-made or generated in real time?

  Images created with AI Image generator are generated in real time based on user text prompts. This is separate from Envato Elements’ pre-made image library, which includes stock photos, illustrations, and graphics available for download.

• What should I do if the image isn't what I expected?

  AI image generation can sometimes be unpredictable. If the result isn’t what you expected, try adjusting your prompt for clarity or adding/removing specific details. It’s often a process of trial and error to achieve the perfect result.

• When should I vote thumbs up or thumbs down on an image?

  Vote Thumbs Up when you think AI Image generator creates the image or style you were after.

  Vote Thumbs Down when AI Image generator provides something inappropriate, off topic or poor quality.

• What is Burst Mode?

  Burst Mode is a way to explore more ideas at once when you are not yet sure what you are after. Switch on Burst Mode in the AI image tools and each generation returns six variations instead of one, so you can see several directions side by side before committing to one.

  You can also:

  • Set how adventurous the results get with the creativity controls — Focused, Balanced or Wild.
  • Guide the look and feel with Style References and Mood Boards. These work alongside image references, so you can shape both the subject and the aesthetic.
  • Keep going in a direction you like with More like this, or use Vary to see a new set of images across different outfits, scenes or times of day.
  • Make a targeted change with Burst edits, which returns three results to choose from.
  • Tidy up rough edges on an image you want to take further with Polish.

  As always, the exact number of credits an action will use is shown on the Generate ✨ button before you press it. For more on how credits work, see How are Envato AI generations counted?

AI Image editor

• Can I use the images I edit in commercial projects?

  Edited images do not generate a standalone license directly from Image Editor. However, your subscription grants you a legal license to use the underlying AI-generated components that make up your finalized file.

  Just like using any traditional editing software, it is your responsibility to ensure your source file (whether it comes from AI Image generator, Envato Elements, or your personal machine) is properly licensed before deploying it inside a commercial workflow.

• How do I access AI Image editor?

  You can access it by:

  • Clicking Edit from a photo item page in Envato’s Photo library or an AI Image image
  • Head to Generate from the Envato menu

• Can I edit a photo straight from its item page?

  Yes. Open any photo item details page and you will see AI actions alongside the item — remove background, expand and relight — plus a prompt box where you can describe the change you want. You will also find two Recolor actions:

  • Apply look — applies a colour look to your image, drawn from any of the 50,000+ LUTs in the Envato stock catalog.
  • Adjust levels — lets you adjust levels and colour balance.

  Both Recolor actions work on stock photos, images you have generated, and your own uploads, and both are applied to the full resolution original. Neither uses AI, so they do not use any of your AI credits and are unlimited on all paid plans.

  Each edit can be applied to your previous edit, so you can keep refining in place rather than starting over or switching to another tool. As with any edit that starts from an Envato stock catalog image, the original photo is automatically licensed to your account when you begin, and is saved to My Downloads. When you use Apply look, the LUT item is licensed at the same time.

• What is AI Image editor?

  AI Image editor is an AI tool for Envato subscribers that lets you make fast, simple edits to images without needing extra software.

• What kind of edits can I make with AI Image editor?

  AI Image Editor gives you a simple set of smart tools to refine your images, fast:

  • Background removal – Instantly remove backgrounds for a clean, pro finish
  • Remove object – Erase unwanted details or distractions
  • Replace object – Swap out parts of your image with AI-generated content
  • Upscale – Boost resolution for crisp, high-quality results
  • Generate similar – Explore new looks with fresh takes on your image
  • Crop – Resize or frame your image just right

• Is AI Image editor a replacement for professional image editing software?

  AI Image editor is built for quick, everyday edits that save you time. For more complex work, your usual editing software will still be useful.

• Where will my edited images be saved?

  Edited images are not automatically saved. You’ll need to download the image to your device to keep a copy of it. If you are editing an image from Envato Elements, the original Envato library image will be licensed and saved to your My Downloads under the project “Image Editor Originals.”

• Do I need to license an Envato Elements image before editing it in AI Image editor?

  Yes, but you don’t need to do it manually. When you click “Edit” on an Envato library image, it’s automatically licensed on Elements and added to your My Downloads and saved in your Projects under the project “Image Editor Originals.” Your use of the Envato image, and any edited version you create on Image Editor, remains subject to the terms of the Elements License.

• Can I use Image Editor on any image?

  Yes, AI Image editor works with Envato Elements photos, images generated with AI Image generator, plus your own uploaded images.

AI Voice generator

• Can I use the voices I generate in commercial projects?

  Yes, you can use AI generated voices in personal, client, or commercial projects as part of an end product. Our licensing terms are designed to make things simple and straightforward.

  All of Envato's AI Tools live in one place. Log in to your account and head to Generate from the Envato menu.

• Can AI Voice Generator be used for long-form podcasts and audiobooks?

  Yes, you can use AI Voice generator to create narration for podcasts, audiobooks, or similar audio-first projects. Here’s what to keep in mind:

  • Your script should be your own original work or content you have the rights to narrate and publish.
  • We recommend adding other audio elements like music or sound effects.
  • When combined with your script and any extra elements, the AI voiceover becomes part of a larger end product, not the primary component itself.

  If you follow these simple guidelines, you’re free to produce podcast episodes, audiobook chapters, or other narrated works with AI Voice Generator, as long as you hold the necessary rights to the content.

AI Video Generator

• Can I use the videos I generate in commercial projects?

  Yes, you can use your AI-generated videos in personal, client, or commercial projects as part of an end product. Our licensing is built to support real creative work. See our licensing terms.

• What is the technical quality and length of generated videos?

  You can choose the resolution before you generate: Low (480p+), Standard (720p+) or High (1080p+). These are minimum resolutions, so your finished video may come back higher than the option you picked. Videos run up to 8 seconds.

  The number of credits an action uses changes with the resolution and duration you choose, and you'll see the total on the Generate ✨ button before you commit. For a 4-second video, that's 2 credits for Low, 5 for Standard and 9 for High. For more on how credits work, see How are Envato AI generations counted?

• I had an error and lost a generation — can I get it back?

  Yes, after a failed AI generation, the appropriate credits should be automatically restored to your account within 2 hours. . If not, feel free to reach out to support.

• What is Google Veo 3?

  Google Veo 3 is the latest AI-powered video generation model developed by Google DeepMind. It transforms text prompts into high-quality, cinematic videos with synchronized audio, including dialogue, sound effects, and background music. This advancement offers creators an all-in-one tool for producing realistic video content.

• How does Veo 3 differ from Veo 2?

  Veo 3 introduces several enhancements over Veo 2:

  • Audio Generation: Unlike Veo 2, Veo 3 can generate synchronized audio tracks, including dialogue and ambient sounds.
  • Improved Visual Quality: Veo 3 produces videos with higher resolution and more realistic visuals.
  • Enhanced Prompt Understanding: Veo 3 better interprets complex prompts, allowing for more detailed and accurate video generation.

• What are the key features of Veo 3?

  Key features of Veo 3 include:

  • Synchronized Audio Generation: Creates dialogue, sound effects, and background music that align with the video content.
  • Advanced Prompt Interpretation: Accurately follows complex instructions to create diverse shot styles and movements.

• How can I access Google Veo 3 on AI Video generator?

  You can access Veo 3 directly within Envato AI Video generator. Write your prompt and enjoy stunning AI-generated video results.

  Generating with Veo 3 uses AI credits from your monthly allowance, like any other AI tool. The number of credits is shown on the Generate ✨ button before you commit. 

  Our sophisticated system selects which model to use based on the task at hand which is the same across all our AI tools.

  If you would like to add synced audio, click +, and toggle on Audio.

• Can I edit or modify my generated videos?

  Yes. AI Video generator includes a Modify feature that lets you edit your generated videos using AI. Modify enables closer prompt adherence, more precise editing actions, and better consistency in your results.

  Yes! You can upload up to 5 images, 1 video and 1 audio clip as reference inputs alongside your text prompt. Image and video references help the AI produce more consistent, on-brief results by showing it what you mean, not just telling it. An audio reference lets you steer the sound of your video: make a character dance to a track, give a character dialogue with lip sync matched to the audio, or add custom sound effects that are hard to describe in a prompt. You can use your own audio, or pick music and sound effects from the Envato subscription library. Simply click the reference upload area in the AI Video Generator interface to add your files before generating.

AI Music generator
