Overview
Vivago is an AI media generation platform that turns text and still images into short videos, with a connected toolkit for AI image generation and 4K enhancement. Vivago positions its agent layer as two separate features: HiDreamClaw, available from the Plus plan for dialogue-and-canvas video editing, and the Pro-exclusive AI Chat Agent for natural-language video creation, model routing, prompt optimization, generation, and multi-turn refinement.
It is aimed at social media creators, small-business marketers, and hobbyists who need a steady stream of visual content without learning a full AI video editor suite. The draw is breadth and a genuinely usable free tier: daily-reset credits with no credit card, so you can test core text-to-video and image-to-video generation before paying. Treat editing-tool access as tiered: the free plan is limited, while most advanced editing features require a paid plan.
Key Features
- Agent-assisted video creation — The Pro-exclusive AI Chat Agent turns a natural-language brief into a video by routing models, optimizing prompts, generating, and refining over multiple turns, while HiDreamClaw (from Plus) handles dialogue-and-canvas editing.
- Text-to-video and image-to-video — Creates motion clips from a prompt or animates an existing image, covering the two most common starting points for short-form content.
- Magic Brush — Lets you paint over specific regions to animate only the parts you choose, giving more control than animating the whole frame.
- 4K video and image enhancement — Upscales and sharpens generated or imported media on supported paid tiers; Vivago's current comparison places 4K upscaling on Plus and Pro, not Free or Basic.
- AI editing tools — Includes tiered tools such as Magic Eraser, Magic Expand, AI Repaint, Magic Brush, and video element replacement. Magic Eraser is broadly available, while several editing tools and agent-based replacement features require paid tiers.
- AI podcast generator with lip-sync — Produces talking-style clips with synchronized mouth movement on supported paid tiers; Vivago's current comparison places Lip Sync on Plus and Pro, working like a built-in AI podcast generator for faceless or avatar-led content.
- 300+ trend-updated templates — Offers vertical-native presets refreshed against current social trends, speeding up TikTok and Instagram production.
How to Get Started
Vivago runs entirely in the browser, so there is no install. Create an account and you receive daily free credits that reset each day. For a quick test, pick text-to-video, enter a prompt, and generate a 5-second clip. On paid tiers, the agent features add more automation: HiDreamClaw (from Plus) supports dialogue-and-canvas editing, and the Pro AI Chat Agent takes a natural-language brief and handles model routing, prompt optimization, generation, and multi-turn refinement. Generation time depends on the selected model, video length, queue tier, and server load, so longer jobs are queue-and-return tasks rather than instant generation. Credits are consumed per generation, with video costing more than images.
Pricing & Plans
Vivago uses a freemium, credit-based model. Credits are spent on each generation, and video consumes more than image work.

Commercial rights differ by tier. Vivago's current pricing comparison says Plus and Pro include commercial usage rights, while Free and Basic do not include a commercial license. Verify the latest Terms before using output for client work, ads, or other commercial campaigns. Confirm current credits, limits, and licensing terms on the official pricing page before committing.
Best For
- Social media creators producing high volumes of TikTok or Instagram content on a tight budget
- Small-business marketers who need quick visual assets without an editor
- Hobbyists and beginners testing AI video before committing to one of the established AI video generators
- Faceless-content makers using avatar or podcast-style clips
Less suitable for video professionals who need precise scene-level control; specialist tools like Pika offer more granular direction over individual shots.
FAQ
Is Vivago free to use?
Yes. Vivago has a free tier with daily credits that reset each day and no credit card required. Free output is watermarked and capped at 5-second videos, but it is enough to evaluate the platform.
How long does Vivago take to generate a video?
Generation time varies with the selected model, video length, queue tier, and server load. Shorter clips return quickly, while longer jobs are queue-and-return tasks rather than instant generation, so plan around the wait for bigger renders.
What is the difference between the paid plans?
Paid plans remove watermarks, but the toolset differs by tier. Basic starts at $7.9/mo when billed annually with 1,000 credits, 2 concurrent tasks, and 8-second videos, but no commercial license. Plus starts at $19.9/mo annually with 3,800 credits, 4 concurrent tasks, Lip Sync, 4K upscaling, HiDreamClaw Agent access, and commercial usage rights. Pro starts at $59.9/mo annually with 12,000 credits, 8 concurrent tasks, AI Chat Agent access, beta-model priority, dedicated 1-on-1 account support, and commercial usage rights. Monthly checkout pricing may be higher.
Do I own the videos I create?
Vivago's current pricing comparison says Plus and Pro include commercial usage rights, while Free and Basic do not include a commercial license. Check the latest Terms and checkout copy before using generated assets in client work, ads, or other commercial projects.
How do credits work?
Credits are consumed per generation. Video generation costs more credits than image generation because it is more processing-intensive. Free credits reset daily; paid plans grant a fixed monthly credit allowance.
Can Vivago make vertical videos for TikTok and Instagram?
Yes. Vivago supports vertical video natively and includes 300+ templates that are updated against current social trends, making it well suited to short-form vertical content.
Does Vivago require any software installation?
No. Vivago runs entirely in the browser. You only need to create an account to start generating with your daily free credits.
Can I remove the watermark on free downloads?
The watermark is removed on paid plans, starting with Basic at $7.9/month when billed annually. Free-tier downloads remain watermarked, and monthly checkout pricing may be higher.
