How ImageWand Pricing Works
ImageWand splits its tools into two tiers: free tools that run entirely in your browser, and AI-powered tools that use server-side machine learning models and cost one credit each. The free tier includes image resizing, cropping, compression, format conversion, photo filters, color correction, watermarks, and flip/rotate — all unlimited, no signup required.
AI features — background removal, AI enhancement, and AI upscaling — require an account and credits. Credits are purchased in packs starting at $5 for 50 credits, with larger packs offering better per-credit value. There are no subscriptions, no recurring charges, and credits never expire.
