A browser AI creative suite from the Fotor family that generates video, images and music and keeps a full conventional editor alongside — priced through subscription tiers plus a separate credit system, with unusually explicit terms on what you may and may not commercially use.

Clipfly is a browser-based AI creative suite that spans three output types rather than specialising in one. The official positioning is turning your ideas into videos, images, or music with Clipfly's AI creative platform, and the product genuinely delivers on all three axes: AI Video Generator, AI Image Generator and AI Music Generator each anchor their own family of tools. Alongside the generative side sits a conventional online editor — trimming, cropping, merging, subtitles, transitions — which makes it as much an editing workspace as a generation engine.
That breadth is the defining characteristic and the main thing to weigh. Most tools in this space pick a lane; Clipfly deliberately does not. Whether that is an advantage depends entirely on whether you want one subscription covering many occasional needs, or best-in-class depth in a single one.
This is where a little digging pays off, because the marketing pages do not say. The terms of service name the contracting entity as Nanjing Jiukuan Network Science & Technology Co., Ltd., governed by the laws of the PRC. Separately, the iOS app's App Store listing gives the developer as Chengdu Everimaging Science and Technology Co., Ltd — the company behind Fotor — and independent reporting confirms that Fotor expanded into video and launched Clipfly. That also explains an oddity in the terms themselves: the privacy policy link embedded there points at fotor.com. These are two different registered entities and this article does not claim a corporate relationship between them beyond what each source states; but the product-family connection to Fotor is well supported.
It is not a professional NLE, and it is not a single-model wrapper. It also, importantly, is not a service that grants you clean commercial rights by default — a point covered in detail below, because it is the most consequential and least advertised aspect of the product.
The underlying technical basis is stated plainly in the terms: the AIGC features are built on text-to-image, image-to-image and image-to-video technologies, with user prompts and images as the necessary inputs.
Professional editors needing frame-accurate control and codec management should stay with a conventional NLE. Anyone whose work depends on unambiguous, indemnified commercial rights to generated output should read the terms carefully first — the position here is more conditional than many competitors. And teams that need guaranteed asset retention should treat this as a workspace, not an archive.
One cross-platform detail deserves emphasis because it is easy to get wrong: the terms state that each platform has its own paid service and that payment of Paid Service on one platform is NOT transferrable to another. Buying a subscription in the iOS app does not necessarily unlock the same on the web, and vice versa. Confirm which platform you are actually purchasing on.
There are two parallel billing systems, and understanding both is necessary to judge cost.
Subscriptions come in three tiers, advertised on the annual view at Pro at $49.99 a year, Pro+ at $189.99 and Business at $389.99, with the page marking annual billing as 50% off versus monthly. The tiers grant 200, 1000 and 3000 credits a month respectively, along with 10%, 12% and 15% discounts on further credit purchases, 1, 2 and 5 account licences, and 4 GB, 20 GB and 100 GB of cloud storage. All three include access to all video and image models, the 100+ editing functions, the stock libraries, and a GIF export ceiling of 640p.
Credit packs can be bought separately, with bonus credits that improve the unit rate at volume: 100 credits for $9.99; 200 credits plus 100 bonus for $19.99, which the page marks as US$0.066 / credit; 500 plus 250 for $39.99; 2000 plus 1000 for $75.99; 10,000 plus 10,000 bonus for $251.99 at roughly US$0.012 per credit; and 40,000 plus 40,000 for $783.99. The unit price therefore varies by more than five times between the smallest and largest pack.
Most usefully, per-feature consumption is published: Video Generator 10 Credits for 1 Clip, talking avatar 10 credits, photo animator 10 credits per clip, template generator 10 credits, object remover 10 credits, green screen editor 20 credits, video background remover 20 credits, Face Dance 5 credits, video enhancer 5 credits per minute, and video upscaler 10 credits per minute. This lets you cost a workflow before committing.
Two billing terms deserve to be read before purchase rather than after. Subscription fees are stated to be NOT REFUNDABLE AND NOT CANCELLABLE, and purchased credits are likewise non-refundable. And to avoid an automatic renewal, a cancellation request must be made AT LEAST SEVEN (7) DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION of the current period. The company also reserves the right to change the credit conversion rate at any time at its sole discretion, and sets varying expiry dates on different kinds of credit.
The decision axis is breadth versus rights clarity. Clipfly offers more modalities for the money than most; several competitors offer fewer features but a much simpler answer to "can I sell what I made with this".
The output-rights position is the single most important thing to understand, and it is not what most users assume. The terms state that the company does not have the ability to license or release the use of that output Content to User, and that it makes no copyright claim over generated output. In plain terms: paying does not buy you a licence to the AI output, because the company does not present itself as holding rights to grant. For personal and experimental use this rarely matters. For client work, advertising, or anything where a rights chain may be examined, it matters considerably, and the honest reading is that you carry the risk yourself.
Bundled stock assets are not licensed to you either. Separately from AI output, the terms say the sample images, videos and music in the service are not licensed to Clipfly Users, regardless of whether Users are subscribed, and that using them in a finished work requires seeking permission from their respective copyright owners. This is a genuinely counterintuitive term, since the tiers advertise thousands of stickers, audio tracks and images as included features.
Your finished work has a publishing deadline after cancellation. Content licences run strictly within the subscription period, and any final work completed during that period must be published within 30 days after the termination of the Subscription to be kept in perpetuity. Letting a subscription lapse with unpublished projects sitting in the account carries a real consequence.
Credits are spent on attempts, not results — and the rate can change. Trustpilot's summary of recent reviews records that the system occasionally fails to produce the requested image or clip on the first try, and separately that recent adjustments to credit costs and token limits left some users feeling certain video features were no longer worth using. Combined with the company's stated right to change the conversion rate unilaterally and to set credit expiry dates, this means the effective cost of your workflow is not fixed by your purchase.
Public sentiment is good, from two independent samples. Trustpilot shows a TrustScore of 4.5 across 294 reviews — 68% five-star, 17% four, 9% three, 5% one-star — while the App Store shows 4.58 from 1,266 ratings on the App Store. Two independently collected samples pointing the same way is a meaningfully stronger signal than either alone. One caveat on responsiveness: the company claimed its Trustpilot profile in September 2025 but has replied to only 20% of negative reviews.
No refunds, and no refund on ban either. Beyond the standard non-refundable terms, the company may block accounts it believes violate the terms, and in that event shall not refund any fees to User, with new accounts not permitted afterwards.
Do not treat it as storage. The terms state the company does not guarantee the storage of Content and is not intended as a back-up solution, and that deleting your account deletes the associated content.
Free and gift-credit accounts publish your work by default. Unsubscribed users' AIGC inputs and outputs are made public in the community by default, with an opt-out provided. Anyone prompting with confidential concepts or personal images should change this before generating.
Data location and jurisdiction may matter to you. AIGC inputs and outputs are stored on Amazon Web Services located in the USA, while the governing law is the PRC, with disputes assigned to a People's Court in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province in the privacy policy — although the terms of service refer more generally to a PRC court and the contracting entity is registered in Nanjing. That inconsistency is presented here as found rather than resolved.
Face data has its own regime, and it is comparatively reassuring. Using AI Avatar requires you to upload 8 to 15 photos or selfies; the company states these inputs are deleted permanently once avatars are generated, and that face data is not used to train other AI products, identify users, build profiles, or get sold to advertisers or data brokers.
No independent media coverage was found. Searches returned no substantive editorial reporting from major technology publications about Clipfly. This is not evidence of a problem, but it does mean the verifiable record consists of the company's own terms plus review-platform data rather than independent scrutiny.
Content generation has stated boundaries. The AIGC guidelines prohibit unlawful or harmful content, misleading information and images of public figures, privacy-infringing material, harassment, and state that users shall not generate Content to create sexually explicit or pornographic material — with account suspension as the stated consequence. Worth knowing given that the catalogue includes several novelty tools oriented around people and likenesses.
There is free access and the iOS app is free to download, but the generative features consume credits, and a free allowance is limited. Realistically, evaluate it free to test output quality on your own material, then price a subscription tier or credit pack against your actual usage using the published per-feature rates.
On the annual view, Pro is $49.99 per year, Pro+ $189.99 and Business $389.99, including 200, 1000 and 3000 monthly credits respectively. Credits can also be bought separately, from $9.99 for 100 up to $783.99 for 40,000 plus a 40,000 bonus, with the effective unit price falling substantially at volume.
Per feature, at published rates. Video generation costs 10 credits per clip, talking avatar 10, object removal 10, background removal 20, green screen 20, and Face Dance 5. Video enhancement is 5 credits per minute and upscaling 10 credits per minute, so long files cost proportionally more on those tools.
This needs care. The terms state the company makes no copyright claim over your generated output and does not have the ability to license that output to you. That is different from being granted commercial rights. Separately, the bundled sample images, video and music are explicitly not licensed to users, subscribed or not, and require permission from their copyright owners for use in a finished work. For commercial projects, get advice rather than assuming a subscription settles the question.
The terms state subscription fees are not refundable and not cancellable, and that purchased credits are not refundable. If credits were bought through the App Store or Google Play, those stores' own payment and refund policies apply instead.
Subscriptions renew automatically. A cancellation request must be submitted at least seven days before the current period expires, and cancellation takes effect at the end of that period rather than immediately.
For subscribers, generally yes — the company says it does not use your AIGC input or output unless you post it to the community, and does not sell or share it with advertisers, analytics providers or data brokers. But for unsubscribed users on gift credits, inputs and outputs are made public in the community by default, with an opt-out available.
The AI Avatar feature asks for 8 to 15 photos or selfies plus a gender selection. The company states these input photos are stored temporarily and permanently deleted once the avatars are generated, that resulting avatars remain available until you delete them, and that face data is not used to train other AI products, identify individuals, build profiles or reach advertisers and data brokers.
The terms of service name Nanjing Jiukuan Network Science & Technology Co., Ltd. as the contracting entity, under PRC law. The iOS app lists Chengdu Everimaging — the company behind Fotor — as developer, and independent reporting describes Clipfly as Fotor's expansion into video. The two named entities are distinct registrations and no corporate relationship between them is claimed here beyond what each source states.
Treat it as not safe. The terms disclaim any guarantee of content storage and state the service is not a backup solution, deleting an account removes its associated content, and work completed during a subscription must be published within 30 days of termination to be retained in perpetuity. Download everything you care about while your subscription is active.
