FAQ
Is Epochal free?
Yes. You get 15 free credits after signing up, no credit card required. Each generation costs a set number of credits shown before you generate.
How do credits work?
Credits are consumed per generation based on model and settings. Text-to-video typically costs more than image-to-video. Unused credits roll over on annual plans.
Can I use my own images as input?
Yes. Upload a still image (JPEG, PNG) and apply motion to create a video from it. The original composition stays recognizable.
Do I lose credits if a generation fails?
No. If a generation fails, the credits are refunded automatically.
