Quick verdict
OpenArt is a web studio for AI images, video, characters, voiceovers and music, with more than 100 third-party models such as GPT Image 2.5, Nano Banana Pro, Kling 4.0, Seedance 2.5, Veo 3.1, Sora 2 and Lyria 3, paid for with monthly credits. Free is a trial: 40 one-time credits valid for 7 days, about 40 images, no video, with a watermark and for non-commercial use. Starter is $14 a month for 4,000 credits, about 4,000 images or 50 videos, without a watermark. Plus is $34 a month for 12,000 credits and adds commercial use rights and add-on credit packs at $15 per 5,000. Pro is $56 a month for 24,000 credits, and Wonder $240 a month for 106,000 credits; both add unlimited generation on select models during listed promotion periods. Credits do not roll over. OpenArt's pricing page does not say whether tax is included; its help center says subscriptions are billed in US dollars with no country-specific pricing.
Billed yearly, the plans show $13, $27, $44 and $175 a month, paid up front: $156, $324, $528 and $2,100 a year by our calculation. Those yearly rates were shown with a limited-time discount, so they may change.
Commercial rights are the trap. OpenArt's Terms let you use output commercially only on Plus and above, and the pricing table crosses out commercial use rights on Starter, even though Starter removes the watermark. An older help-center FAQ says all generated images can be used commercially; we follow the Terms. On training, OpenArt's help center says it does not use images you upload or content you create to train its models. This verdict rests on what OpenArt documents, not on our tests, which we have not run yet.
Strengths and limits
Strengths
- No training on your contentOpenArt's help center says: "We do not use any images you upload or content you create to train our models." That applies on every plan, so no opt-out is needed.
- Many models, one credit poolEvery plan lists access to more than 100 premium image, video and audio models, from Google, OpenAI, ByteDance, Kling, Alibaba, ElevenLabs and others, and you can switch models for each job or let Chat Mode pick.
- Longer video projectsOn paid plans, standard clips run 5 to 10 seconds, One Click Story makes up to 60 seconds, and Director makes films of up to 5 minutes. The AI Shorts Generator makes 9:16 Shorts with native audio and burned-in captions.
- Characters that speakPaid plans include character creation and Lip-Sync, which makes a saved character speak your script with a preset or cloned voice. Text to speech uses Fish Audio Drama 3 or Eleven v4, and the music generator makes 30-second clips or full songs of about 3 minutes on Lyria 3.
- Logo and design toolsThe AI Logo Generator sends one brief to several models, then lets you refine, upscale and run an IP Safety Check. OpenArt also lists a photo editor, a Background Remover with transparent PNG output, an upscaler from 1x to 10x and an infographic generator.
Limits
- No commercial use on Free or StarterPlan limit. OpenArt's Terms (section 4.1) allow commercial use only "at, and above, the Plus level", and the pricing table crosses out commercial use rights for Starter. Free output is non-commercial and watermarked. An older help-center FAQ is broader.
- The free plan is a 7-day trialPlan limit. Free gives 40 one-time trial credits for 7 days, about 40 images, with image tools only. Video, audio and character creation are crossed out, and add-on credits need a subscription.
- Credits do not roll overPlan limit. Monthly credits do not carry over. Starter cannot buy add-on credits; Plus and above can, at $15 per 5,000. Unlimited generation on Pro and Wonder covers only select models during promotion periods, with a slower queue for heavy use and not through MCP or CLI.
- OpenArt's pages disagree on video editingConflict. The help center says OpenArt does not currently support direct video editing, such as cutting, while the AI Video Editor page edits uploaded MP4 or MOV clips of up to 10 seconds by prompt.
- Gaps in what is documentedNot verified. No page we checked mentions SVG or vector export, an account data export, dubbing or transcription. There is no mobile app yet; OpenArt works in desktop and mobile browsers.

Who it suits
A good fit if you
- Keeping your uploads and creations out of model training
- Commercial images and video from Plus up, at $34 a month
- Short films and character videos with Director, One Click Story and Lip-Sync
- Trying many image, video and audio models under one credit pool
Look elsewhere if you
- Commercial work on Starter: commercial use starts at Plus
- An ongoing free plan: Free is a 40-credit, 7-day trial
- Vector logo files: no SVG export verified
- A phone app: no mobile app released

A use is listed when at least one plan documents every feature a task needs. Answer quality is a separate question: see below.
Using it day to day
OpenArt runs in desktop and mobile browsers; a mobile app has not been released. It also offers an OpenArt MCP for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Kimi and other agents, a CLI and an After Effects plugin. Chat Mode lets you make images, video and music through conversation, but it is not described as a general assistant. Albums organize images and videos.
Usage is counted in monthly credits: 4,000 on Starter, 12,000 on Plus, 24,000 on Pro and 106,000 on Wonder, which OpenArt estimates at about 50, 150, 300 and 1,300 videos. Parallel generations rise from 4 on Free to 8, 16 and 32 on Starter, Plus and Pro, and you can make up to 8 designs at once in the image generator. Paid exports have no watermark: you toggle it off at download. Uploads are images, video and audio; PDF and Word files are not documented. Subscribers' unpublished creations are kept until you delete them, with no storage amount stated.
Privacy, data and ads
OpenArt's help center says it does not use images you upload or content you create to train its models, on any plan. Creations download individually; no account data export is documented, though account deletion is. Whether the service shows ads is not verified; the Privacy Policy says OpenArt may use third-party companies to serve ads through the Services. Subscribers' unpublished creations are kept until they delete them.

- If you will sell, publish for a client or use output in ads, choose Plus or above, because the Terms limit commercial use to those plans.
- Choose Starter only for personal or non-commercial projects that need more credits or no watermark.

- Compare OpenArt with other image tools on our tools page, and read how we check vendor claims.
