Getting started

Sign up and free credits

You need an account to create images, make videos and publish posts. Signing up is free, with your email or a Google account. A new Google account may come with free credits.

Go to the sign-up page. There are two ways to sign up:

Sign up with Google: the quickest way. No password and no verification code needed.
With email: enter your Email address, a Password (at least 8 characters) and Confirm password, then press Create Account.

By creating an account you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

The "Create your account" page: the "Sign up with Google" button with the credit gift line under it, the "or" divider, and the email / password form with the "Create Account" button

Free credits for signing up with Google

Signing up with Google for the first time may give you free credits. While the offer runs, the amount shows right under the Google button, for example "… free credits for a new Gmail account · once per account". Gift credits are free credits and are used before the credits you buy. See Credits and monthly plans.

Step 2. Verify your email

If you signed up with email, you may be asked to verify it:

Look in your inbox for an email with a 6-digit code. The code is valid for 10 minutes. Check Spam too.
Enter it in 6-digit verification code and press Verify.
If no code arrived, press Resend code (it becomes available after a short wait).

An email account that isn't verified can't create free images. When you press create, a dialog opens so you can enter the code.

If you try to sign up again with an email that is registered but not yet verified, the page suggests Reset password so you can get in right away.

Step 3. Set your name in your Profile

Open the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Profile. The Profile page has three tabs:

Information: press Edit next to Full Name, type your name and press Save. Up to 50 characters. Your name is shown in emails, at checkout and in the community gallery. This tab also shows your email and Available Credits.
Change Password: enter your current password and a new one (at least 8 characters).
Notifications: choose your Email language and how you get Motion notifications (when a project build finishes, when a video render finishes), by Email or Telegram. See Email and Telegram notifications.

The Profile page, "Information" tab: the "Full Name" row with its "Edit" button, the email and "Available Credits"; the "Information", "Change Password" and "Notifications" tabs above
