Yes—but only certain types of credits remain valid after your Pro subscription ends. CapCut uses a multi-tiered credit system, and the validity of each type depends on how it was obtained:
▪️ Subscription credits: Tied directly to your active Pro plan. They expire immediately when your subscription ends.
▪️ Purchased credits: Bought with actual currency. They remain valid for 2 years from the date of purchase, regardless of subscription status.
▪️ Activity credits: Earned through campaigns or events. Their validity is defined by the specific activity rules (e.g., 30 days, 90 days, or permanent)—independent of your Pro status.
After your Pro plan expires, you can still use any non-expired purchased or activity credits to access AI features, but you'll lose access to subscription credits and Pro-only editing tools.
Below is how this behavior appears across platforms:
CapCut Web (CapCut Online)
- Step 1: After your Pro subscription ends, log in to CapCut Online.
- Step 2: Go to your profile → "Credits". You'll see:
Subscription Credits: Grayed out or marked "Expired" with the expiry date matching your subscription end date.
Purchased Credits: Still listed with their original purchase date and 2-year countdown.
Activity Credits: Displayed with their individual expiry dates (if applicable).
- Step 3: When using an AI tool, the system only draws from valid credits (purchased or activity). If none remain, you'll be prompted to buy more or resubscribe.
CapCut Desktop (Windows / macOS)
- Step 1: Open the CapCut desktop (v6.0+) after your Pro plan has lapsed.
- Step 2: Attempt to use an AI feature (e.g., "AI Image Generation").
- Step 3: A pop-up shows your current usable credit balance—subscription credits are no longer included.
- Step 4: If you have valid purchased or activity credits, the tool runs normally and deducts from those pools.
- Step 5: If all credits are expired or exhausted, the app disables the AI feature and suggests purchasing credits or renewing Pro.
CapCut Mobile App (iOS / Android)
Simplified Credit Usage Post-Subscription
- Step 1: Ensure your app is updated to version 11.7.0 or later.
- Step 2: After Pro expiration, open the app and go to your profile → "Credits".
- Step 3: You'll see a single total number representing only non-expired purchased and activity credits—subscription credits are automatically excluded and not shown.
- Step 4: When using mobile AI tools (e.g., "AI Portrait"), the system consumes from this remaining pool.
- Step 5: If the balance is zero, the feature is locked until you buy credits or renew Pro.
📍 If you need further assistance, please contact our support team.
You retain full access to any surviving credits across CapCut Web (CapCut Online), CapCut Desktop (Windows / macOS), and CapCut Mobile App (iOS / Android)—as long as you stay signed in to the same account. However, without an active Pro plan, you'll also lose Pro-exclusive editing features (e.g., 4K export, advanced keyframes), even if you still have credits for AI tools.
