Template.net is a free AI platform for creating documents, designs, images, videos, forms, charts, whiteboards and presentations in one unified editor, and it pairs that editor with a large library of free templates.
Its central idea is that a prompt should produce a working file rather than a picture of one. Template.net turns natural-language prompts into layered assets whose text, layout, visuals and data stay editable, so the result can be exported as a real working file instead of a static mockup.
The company says it has operated for more than 10 years, is 100% bootstrapped with no investors, and is profitable. A third-party AI directory estimated Template.net's monthly visitors at 2.7M as captured on September 28, 2026; that figure is an outside traffic estimate, not a vendor-reported number.
In short, Template.net is built for people who need editable business documents, slide decks and marketing designs in common office formats. The decisions that matter most sit in the plan terms: free and paid tiers differ on credits, watermark settings and commercial use, and paid subscriptions renew automatically under a strict refund policy.
Template.net offers more than one million professionally made templates spanning documents, designs, videos, social posts, certificates, forms, charts, educational materials and business functions such as HR, marketing, sales and finance. Templates serve both as standalone downloads and as starting points inside the editor.
Paid plans expose a menu of third-party models rather than a single in-house engine:
Plus and Max users can choose any model at no extra cost, unless a specific model has its own usage limits. Model choice still changes what a plan delivers, because different models consume different amounts of credits.
Image generation and video generation sit inside the same editor as documents, so generated visuals can be placed directly into a design or report. Video output is short: Template.net supports AI video generation of up to several seconds, depending on the model.
Beyond the editor, the Plus plan lists 1,000 AI tools and features for tasks such as background removal, translation and resizing. Two single-purpose tools matter for policy as much as for features:
Generate With Brand automatically applies an uploaded logo, colors, fonts and brand style to documents, designs, presentations and whiteboards. One brand kit is free, while multiple brand kits require the Plus or Max plan.
The same prompt-then-edit pattern applies across the AI presentation generator and the other generators: the first result is a draft made of editable parts, not a finished image.
Template.net names a broad audience: individuals, students and teachers, SMEs and startups, corporate teams, creators, and real estate, HR, sales and marketing professionals. Two groups get specific rules:
It is a weaker fit for developers who need programmatic access today, and for anyone who needs long-form video, given the short clip length.
The breadth of export formats is what separates these editable templates from image-only generators: a deck or document can move into Microsoft Office, Google Workspace or Apple iWork and keep being edited there.
Template.net can be used without an account: browsing, generating, editing and downloading are possible without signing up. Paid access comes in two tiers, Plus for individuals and Max for teams. The pricing page shows annual billing by default; the monthly-billing prices below come from the site's own pricing data, as captured on September 28, 2026, for a US location in USD.
| Plan | Billed yearly | Billed monthly | Seats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plus | $144.00 per year ($12.00 per month) | $24.00 per month on monthly billing | 1 |
| Max | $564.00 per year for the whole team | $94.00 per month on monthly billing | Up to 10 |
Max covers up to 10 users at $4.70 per user per month on annual billing, with 50,000 credits a month and 1 TB of cloud storage. Plus includes 5,000 credits a month alongside an unlimited AI creations line on the same plan card. The plan also includes 100 GB of cloud storage and removes the Template.net watermark. It lists up to 24,000 images per year depending on the model. Plus video output is listed as up to 580 videos per year, again depending on the model.
The two tiers frame caps differently. Max lists unlimited text and chat generation and unlimited image generation. Its video allowance is split: generation is unlimited on Kling 3.0 720 (the default), Seedance and several other models, while other video models are capped at up to 580 videos per year depending on the model, and Max adds 24/7 support via chat, email and phone. On Max, the 10 users share a single credit pool, so any member's usage reduces what the others have left.
Template.net positions itself against better-known tools on breadth rather than on price:
Those three comparisons are the vendor's own. Looking outside the vendor, a software-directory listing names Microsoft Publisher, Adobe InDesign and Marq as the top competitors, with Piktochart, VistaCreate and Creative Market also compared.
Template.net's own pages describe usage limits in different ways. The FAQ answers the question of whether Template.net is free with unlimited content generation for free and access to thousands of free templates. The credits policy on the same page says free users may have limited credits, exports, models, storage and watermark settings. The paid Plus card likewise lists unlimited AI creations next to a fixed monthly credit allowance. In the pages checked for this review, the free-tier allowance is not quantified.
On a third-party review platform, the unclaimed Template.net profile showed a 4.3 rating from 361 reviews as captured on September 28, 2026. Its AI-generated summary of 181 recent reviews is mostly positive about ease of use and support, but says some reviewers complained of unexpected charges after automatic renewals, and a few reported editing tools freezing or resizing unexpectedly.
Core use is free: you can browse, generate, edit and download without an account, and one brand kit is included. The free tier may have limited credits, exports, models, storage and watermark settings.
Plus and Max users may use generated assets for commercial projects. The terms separately prohibit reselling or redistributing templates and uploading them to other template marketplaces.
Only in limited cases such as duplicate charges, verified unauthorized transactions or technical faults. Renewals after the billing date, mid-cycle cancellations and used credits are not refundable.
Template.net says prompts, content and brand assets are not used to train external AI models, and that third-party models process input only to generate results.
Not yet. A developer platform with APIs for documents, designs, presentations, images, videos and charts is announced as coming soon in 2026.
