Questions, answered

couple
Is Picto.Video a subscription?
No subscriptions. Picto.Video sells credit packs that you pay for once through Stripe, and you spend the credits when you make a video. The credits stay in your account until you use them.
What is Forevi?
Forevi is a web service that restores, colorizes and upscales photos and videos, and it also animates still portraits into video. If a damaged print needs repair or color, Forevi covers that work. Picto.Video animates photos: you upload one, say who moves and how, and download an MP4 a minute or two later.
How much does Forevi cost compared with Picto.Video?
No subscriptions on Picto.Video. You buy a credit pack once, spend credits when you make a video, and if a generation fails the credits go back to your account. As of 21 October 2026, Forevi lists a one-time pack at $19 for 40 credits and monthly plans at $15, $35 and $75, with photo animation at 1 credit per second.
Do Forevi credits expire?
As of 21 October 2026, Forevi lists how long its credits last: 12 months for the one-time pack, 1 month on Starter, 2 months on Pro and 3 months on Agency. Picto.Video credits do not expire, so a pack you buy today is still there when you find the next box of old photos.
