Simple, transparent pricing. No subscriptions, no commitments. Add credits and use them whenever you need.
Buy credits once, use them anytime. Credits never expire. You receive the full amount minus Stripe processing fees.
PinePaper Studio is free to use. You create art in your browser and download it locally at no cost. Cloud credits are only needed for two things:
When an AI assistant (Claude Desktop, or our chat) creates graphics via MCP protocol, each tool call costs credits. This covers Cloudflare Workers compute.
Local export is free but depends on your hardware — complex scenes with many items can be slow or fail on lower-end devices. Cloud rendering handles any complexity consistently, and is the only option for mobile devices or cloud-only sessions.
The built-in chat lets you describe what to create in natural language. You choose how to power it:
BYOK: You pay the provider directly at their rates. We charge $0.002 per request for infrastructure (Cloudflare Workers, KV storage, session management). See provider pricing: Anthropic • Google AI • OpenAI • xAI
Don't need AI chat? You can use PinePaper Studio without it. Create graphics manually, use templates, and export locally — all free.

New users get $1 in bonus credits automatically. That's enough for 1,000 MCP requests or 200 SVG exports - plenty to try things out.
Basic exports are free locally. But complex scenes with many canvas items can be slow or crash on weaker hardware. Cloud export renders on our servers — consistent quality regardless of scene complexity. Also the only option on mobile or cloud-only sessions.
Yes. PinePaper Studio is free to use in your browser. The MCP Server is MIT licensed — run it locally with Claude Desktop for free AI-assisted creation. Cloud credits are only needed for the hosted MCP service and chat.
