Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about making Shorts with ViralShorts: what it makes, how credits work, editing, languages and publishing.
Vertical 9:16 short-form videos generated from your idea — AI script, voiceover, scene imagery, and animated on-screen captions. Built to publish on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. No source footage needed.
No. You just type a prompt describing the video you want. The AI writes the script, records the voiceover, generates the scene visuals, and renders the finished Shorts — there's nothing to film or upload.
Yes. Every video has a full editor — reorder, split, resize, or swap any scene, rewrite the hook, retime captions, add a music bed, apply your Brand Kit logo, swap emojis, and update the title and hashtags. Re-render anytime, then export.
Voiceover is generated natively in 6 languages — English, Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, and Marathi — each with multiple voice options. You can also generate a silent version with captions only.
There are 10 animated caption styles — including Hormozi, MrBeast, Cinematic, and two word-by-word karaoke styles (Reels Pop, Read-Along) — plus 8 image art styles (Cinematic, 3D Animation, Anime, Cyberpunk, and more). All of them are included, free.
Yes. Schedule and manage posts across platforms with the built-in Content Calendar, and publish image posts straight to LinkedIn. YouTube upload is also built in — videos currently upload as private while our app completes Google's standard API review, and will switch to public automatically once that's approved.
Every account starts with 50 free credits, no card needed. Credits are only spent when AI makes something: a new video is 10 credits, regenerating an image is 1, an image post is 3, and AI-generated video is 10 per second (15 in HD). UGC video ads, a Creator Monthly feature, are 14 credits per second (30 in HD) plus 3 to prepare your product image. Editing, stock B-roll, uploads and exporting are always free. When you want more, Creator Monthly is $9.99 a month for 400 credits — the best price per credit, and you can cancel anytime in the app. Or buy a one-time pack: 100 credits for $3.99, which never expire. Free accounts export 720p with a small watermark, and make AI video clips in 480p. Subscribing, or buying any pack, removes the watermark and unlocks 1080p exports and 1080p HD AI video.
UGC video ads turn a photo of your product into a short, realistic, phone-shot style video ad (up to 15 seconds, vertical 9:16) presented by an AI-generated creator who talks about it. You add a product photo and describe the ad, or add a storyboard picture and it follows it. UGC ads are available to Creator Monthly subscribers only; credit packs alone don't include them. A 15-second ad uses about 213 credits, so the monthly plan's 400 credits make about two a month, and subscribers can add credits with packs. An ad can take up to about ten minutes to generate.
No. The creator, the voice and the scenes are AI-generated: they are not real people and not real customers. You must not present a UGC ad as a genuine customer review or testimonial, claim an experience that didn't happen, or make false or misleading claims about your product. You must also label the video as AI-generated where a platform or law requires it, only use product images you have the rights to, and never depict a real person. We check requests automatically and can refuse them. See section 5 of our Terms of Service.
You can cancel Creator Monthly any time in Settings, in two clicks: you won't be charged again, and the credits you already have stay in your balance. Credits never expire. Purchases — credit packs and monthly payments — are non-refundable except where the law requires it. If a generation fails, the credits it used are returned to your balance automatically. Exports are 720p with a small watermark until you subscribe or buy your first pack; after that they are 1080p and watermark-free. Storage is 300 MB per account.
