Overview
GenPBR licensing is tied to credit type, not account tier alone. Free Credits grant personal, non-commercial use with attribution. Pro Credits grant full commercial rights with no attribution and no expiration.

Free Credits — personal & non-commercial
Free credits are perfect for learning, experimenting, and portfolios. They give everyone access without barriers while keeping commercial value protected for paying users.
You may use for
- Personal projects, school work, and portfolios
- Prototyping and sharing online with attribution
Not allowed
- Commercial use, client work, or revenue-generating products
- Selling textures or using them in commercial games
Pro Credits — full commercial rights
Pro Credits give you full commercial usage rights with zero restrictions. Any texture generated using Pro Credits is yours to use in paid and professional work — forever. Pro Credits are tied to the generation, not the subscription — rights remain even if you cancel.
- Client work, commercial games, film/VFX, and asset packs
- No attribution required
- 0% royalties, perpetual license
Legacy Base & Plus plans
Existing Base and Plus subscribers are grandfathered into Legacy plans with locked pricing and full commercial rights on outputs generated during subscription. Commercial rights on those textures remain even after cancellation.
Subscriptions
Pro and Studio subscribers receive monthly Pro Credits, priority processing, advanced tools, and API access (Studio+). All textures generated with Pro Credits during your subscription keep commercial rights permanently — even after cancellation.
API licensing
Paid API plans include full commercial licensing for generated textures. Attribution is required when distributing software that embeds the API ("Powered by GenPBR"). Enterprise API plans include white-labeling with no attribution requirement.
Contact enterprise sales for custom terms.
Lifetime access
One-time payment of $299 for permanent access, monthly Pro Credits, API quota, full commercial rights, and future updates. Limited release — availability may close when packages sell out.
Clear & fair licensing rules
- Commercial rights follow credit type — switching plans does not change past outputs
- Pro-generated textures are permanently licensed; no revocation or renewal
- GenPBR labels every texture Commercial or Non-Commercial in your account
- No project tracking or complicated per-project workflows
