Pros and cons
AI Image Editor
- Unified workspace for image generation, editing, upscaling, background removal, and short video creation.
- Access to many named AI models for both image and video tasks (e.g. GPT image 2, Seedream 5.0 Pro, Gemini Omni).
- Commercial use rights included and results saved for 30 days.
- Subscription credits reset monthly and do not roll over, so unused credits are lost.
- Pricing is relatively high for low-volume users. Basic tier gives only 600 credits at $16.66/mo.
- No free tier or trial. lighter users must pay before testing.
Imgraft
- Genuinely free Standard tier at 1K with no credit card required, letting new users test output quality before committing.
- Transparent credit cost table shown before generation: HD 1K costs 1 credit, 2K costs 2, 4K costs 3, with failed jobs returning reserved credits.
- Permanent one-time credit packs (100 for $9.99 up to 2,400 for $149.99) give irregular users a pay-as-you-go option without a recurring subscription.
- Subscription credits expire at the end of each billing period, so a Starter subscriber who skips a month loses unused credits from their $9.90 payment with no rollover.
- No API, no team workspace, and no integrations documented anywhere on the site, which rules out any developer or multi-seat use case entirely.
- Built on undisclosed third-party AI models rather than a proprietary model, meaning output quality and model availability depend on upstream providers Imgraft does not control.
Our verdict
AI Image Editor verdict
Best for teams or creators who need a unified tool for image generation, editing, and short video drafts and can use 600 - 4,200 credits monthly. The lack of rollover credits and relatively high monthly cost may deter lighter users. Solo users or those needing free-tier flexibility should consider GPT Image 2 instead.

Imgraft is the right pick for a solo creator who wants to experiment with image-to-image restyling without handing over a credit card first. Its credit math is transparent and the free Standard tier is genuinely usable, but monthly credits expire each billing period, which punishes light users who miss a month. If you need text-to-image generation, video, or an API, look at Leonardo.Ai instead.
