Simple, transparent pricing

Can I pay yearly?

Yes. Every paid plan can be billed annually for ten times the monthly price, so two months are free: $90 a year for 1,000 credits a month, up to $3,000 a year for 100,000. Credits still arrive monthly on the same day each month, so an annual plan is twelve monthly allowances rather than one yearly lump. Pick annual when you subscribe, or switch an existing plan from the dashboard. Moving an annual plan up takes effect straight away, with the difference prorated; moving to a smaller plan or to monthly billing takes effect when the year you paid for ends.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. HTML to Image gives you 50 free renders when you sign up, no card needed. All 50 are available immediately rather than drip-fed monthly, a PDF costs the same single credit as a PNG, and every feature except the MCP server is included. Free renders are hosted for 7 days; renders made on any paid plan are hosted permanently.

Is the MCP server included?

The MCP server is available on every paid plan. The free tier does not include MCP access. Once you are on a paid plan, your API key works as the MCP bearer token, and each image an AI assistant generates uses one credit like any other render.

Do PDFs cost more than images?

No. A PDF render costs one credit, exactly the same as a PNG, on every plan including the free tier. Add format: "pdf" to any request and the credit maths does not change.

How long are renders hosted?

Renders made on a paid plan are hosted on the i.html2img.com CDN permanently, for the lifetime of the account. Free-tier renders are hosted for 7 days. Upgrading to any paid plan makes every render you have already made permanent, so nothing you built while evaluating is lost.

What happens if I exceed my plan?

Requests return a clear out-of-credits error until your credits renew or you upgrade. Nothing is charged automatically beyond the plan rate. On paid plans the response includes your renewal date so you can pace your fallback; on the free tier it points at the upgrade path, since free credits are a one-time allowance.

Do unused credits roll over?

Paid credits reset on the renewal date, so they do not roll over month to month. That holds on annual billing too: each month brings a fresh allowance that replaces whatever is left of the last one. If you regularly use less than your plan covers, downgrade from the dashboard at any time. The 50 free signup credits work differently: they are a single balance that stays until you have used it.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes, from the dashboard. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period, which on annual billing is the end of the year you paid for, with credits still arriving monthly until then. You keep access to renders you already paid for.

Is there a setup fee?

No. The price you see on the ladder above is the only price. No onboarding charge, no per-seat charge, no overage that hits your card without permission.

Do you offer non-profit or open-source discounts?
