MyEdit is a browser-based AI editing suite that spans three media types at once: images, video and audio. Rather than specialising in one job the way a dedicated image generator or a transcription service does, it puts all three under a single account, a single subscription and a single pool of credits. You can write a prompt and get a picture, describe a change in plain language and have it applied to a photo, animate a still into a short clip, turn a recording into a transcript, or strip background noise out of a voice memo, without installing anything or moving between vendors.
It is built by CyberLink, the Taiwanese software company behind the PowerDirector and PhotoDirector desktop applications. That lineage matters in two directions. It means the product comes from a firm with a long track record in consumer multimedia software rather than a recently assembled startup — CyberLink was founded in 1996 and is publicly listed in Taiwan as 5203.TW. It also means you should be careful not to confuse MyEdit with those desktop products: they are separate applications with separate pricing, separate feature sets and separate reviews, and a strong review of PowerDirector tells you nothing about MyEdit.
The honest framing is that MyEdit trades depth for breadth. Each individual tool is generally simpler than a category leader — its image generation is not Midjourney, its video editing is not Premiere, its transcription is not a dedicated meeting-notes product. What it offers instead is coverage: for a solo creator who needs to make a thumbnail, cut a short clip and caption it, doing all three in one tab with one bill is a real convenience, and the pricing starts low enough that trying it costs little.
/en path if you want the English interface.MyEdit fits poorly for professional retouchers and editors who need pixel-level or frame-level control, for anyone whose deliverable is commercially licensed AI video, and for teams that need a guaranteed output quality standard, since the terms explicitly disclaim any such guarantee.
There is a genuinely usable free tier: 3 credits per day, 5GB of cloud storage, and access to the browser tools without installing anything. Three paid subscriptions sit above it, all quoted at annual billing with a stated 59% saving over monthly. They are Audio Pro at $5 per month billed $60 yearly with 360 bonus credits monthly and 50GB of storage; Creator Pro at $7 per month billed $84 yearly with 500 credits and 50GB; and Studio Pro at $9 per month billed $108 yearly with 800 credits and 100GB. The tier split follows media type rather than seniority — Audio Pro covers only the audio tools, Creator Pro covers image and video, and Studio Pro covers all three.
The critical thing to understand is that a subscription does not mean unlimited generation. The comparison table marks the generative tools as "Paid with Credits" on every tier, and the company's own FAQ includes the question of whether subscribers still need to buy credits. Credits are sold in packs on top of any plan, and non-subscribers pay from $0.20 per credit at the 50-credit pack down to $0.08 at 5,000; subscribers pay exactly half, from $0.10 down to $0.04. Credits stay usable for twelve months from purchase. Consumption is published per tool: AI Image Generator starts at 1 credit per image, AI Face Swap costs 3, AI Photoshoot costs 6, and AI Headshot starts at 50 credits for twenty images, while video is billed per second — from 3 credits per second for both Image to Video and AI Video Generator, 4 per second for Video to Anime and from 5 per second for AI Cinematic Shorts. On the audio side, transcription costs 2 credits per minute, text-to-speech starts at 2 credits per 1,000 characters, and Lyrics to Song costs 5 credits per track. Prices observed here may change.
Commercial use is granted for images but not straightforwardly for video. The terms state that commercial use is granted only where the output is in photo or image form; video output is instead subject to separate licence terms. Anyone planning to monetise AI-generated video should read those clauses before investing credits, because this is the single most consequential asymmetry in the product.
Ownership is qualified, though reasonable. The terms confirm you own the content generated from your submission by the generative AI, to the extent the law permits — a sensible formulation given that the copyrightability of AI output is unsettled in most jurisdictions, but not an absolute guarantee of ownership.
Using the AI requires consenting to biometric data collection. By using the generative AI you expressly consent to CyberLink collecting and using your biometric information as defined in its privacy policy. For a product whose headline features include face swap, virtual try-on, AI headshots and hairstyle previews — all of which involve facial data — this is a disclosure users should read rather than click past.
Data retention is time-limited, which cuts both ways. The terms state that uploads are permanently deleted from the server within twenty-four hours, image outputs are kept for one year, and video outputs for only thirty days. That is good for privacy, but it means the cloud is not an archive: download anything you care about, especially video, well before the thirty-day window closes.
Credits are effectively non-refundable once touched. Under the terms, the 30-day money-back guarantee applies to a credit purchase only while every credit in it remains unused, and consumed credits cannot be restored in any way. Combined with the fact that a generation you dislike still consumes credits, this puts the cost of unsatisfactory output entirely on the user.
No output quality guarantee. The terms are explicit: There is no guarantee that output will be satisfying, and the terms state plainly that it may be inaccurate, offensive, harmful or otherwise inappropriate. This is standard for generative AI but worth pairing with the non-refundable credit rule above.
"Full access" in the plan names is narrower than it sounds. On the pricing comparison table, even on the top Studio Pro tier, the comparison table still marks Photo Editor, Video Editor, Podcast Studio, Voice Changer and Audio Denoise as "Limited" rather than fully unlocked. Check the row-by-row table for the specific tools you need instead of relying on the tier summary.
User ratings are middling, and the sample sizes differ sharply. The iOS app, listed as "MyEdit: AI Photo Generator" from CyberLink Corp., rates 2.93 out of 5 across 102 ratings, while the Android app rates 3.2 across 2,345 ratings with more than 500,000 installs and a listing last updated in August 2026. Separately, Trustpilot shows 2.2 out of 5, but across only 14 reviews on an unclaimed profile where the company has never solicited feedback — too small a sample to draw a quality conclusion from. The defensible reading comes from the app stores, whose combined ~2,447 ratings consistently place the product in the middling band: usable, not acclaimed.
There is no authoritative independent review of MyEdit itself. Searches across English and Chinese-language sources found no dedicated evaluation from established technology press. Note in particular that a five-out-of-five PCMag score from November 2025 belongs to PowerDirector 365, a different CyberLink product, and says nothing about MyEdit. Most search results for "MyEdit review" are affiliate or AI-generated content-farm pages, which is why this page relies on official documentation and store data instead.
Content restrictions are enforceable. Generating NSFW material is grounds for suspension or termination, and malicious or offensive use of deepfake output is prohibited outright, with the user bearing full responsibility for portrait rights, defamation and privacy consequences. The face-swap and animation tools make this a live consideration rather than boilerplate.
Disputes are handled in Taiwan on a short clock. Disputes go to arbitration in Taipei under the laws of Taiwan, and any claim must be filed within one year of the date it first could have been filed — a meaningful practical constraint for users elsewhere.
Corporate context, for scale. CyberLink's first-quarter 2026 investor presentation reports revenue of NT$585.3 million, up 2.4 percent year on year, with the Create B2C line that contains MyEdit accounting for 76.5 percent of that total. The vendor's own marketing figures — 10 million creators, 1,000-plus templates — are self-reported and unaudited, unlike the financial disclosure.
Yes, there is a free tier that grants 3 credits per day and 5GB of cloud storage, with no software to install. It is suitable for evaluating quality and for occasional light tasks, but three daily credits go quickly — roughly three basic AI images, or one second of generated video — so sustained work requires a paid plan or credit packs.
For images, yes: the terms permit commercial use where the output is in photo or image form. For video, no equivalent blanket permission is granted — video output is governed by separate licence clauses that you should read before publishing commercially. This distinction is the most important licensing point in the product.
The terms state that you own the content generated from your submission by the generative AI, to the extent permitted by law. That qualifier matters, because whether AI-generated work attracts copyright at all remains unsettled in many jurisdictions.
Often, yes. Subscriptions include a monthly credit allowance — 360, 500 or 800 depending on the tier — but the generative tools are marked "Paid with Credits" at every tier, so heavy use will exhaust the allowance. Subscribers do, however, buy additional credits at half the price non-subscribers pay.
Video bills per second. At the base rate of 3 credits per second, a 10-second clip costs 30 credits and a 30-second clip costs 90. For a subscriber buying a 1,000-credit pack at $0.06 per credit, that 30-second clip works out to roughly $5.40 in credits. Some tools cost more per second — Video to Anime is 4 and AI Cinematic Shorts starts at 5.
Only if the entire purchase remains untouched. CyberLink's 30-day money-back guarantee applies to credits solely when every credit in that purchase is unused; consuming any of them voids the refund, and consumed credits cannot be restored.
No. All three are CyberLink products, but they are distinct: PowerDirector is desktop video editing software and PhotoDirector is desktop photo editing software, each with its own pricing and feature set. MyEdit is the browser-based AI service. Reviews and ratings of the desktop products do not describe MyEdit.
Uploads are permanently deleted from CyberLink's servers within twenty-four hours of use. Generated output is retained for one year if it is an image and only thirty days if it is video. Download anything you want to keep, particularly video, well inside that window.
Yes. Although some older descriptions and the mobile app name refer only to images and audio, the current web product has a full video section — AI video generation, image-to-video, character motion swap, a timeline editor, a trimmer and a video enhancer — and video is one of the three tool categories in the main navigation.
MyEdit is operated by CyberLink Corp., a Taiwanese company founded in 1996 and listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange as 5203.TW. Its terms of service are governed by the laws of Taiwan, with disputes resolved by arbitration in Taipei and a one-year deadline for bringing any claim.
