FAQ

How do minutes work on D-ID?

Video duration is deducted from the total minutes in your plan, rounded up to the nearest 15-second interval. For example, a 1-minute and 10-second video consumes 1 minute and 15 seconds.

Do unused minutes carry over to the next month?

Minutes do not accumulate. They are renewed every month and unused minutes become void.

Why do videos have a D-ID watermark on Trial and Lite plans?

D-ID requires transparency about the synthetic nature of AI-generated content. A full-screen watermark appears for trial users, and a smaller watermark appears on Lite plans.

What happens to my data if I cancel my subscription?

Your plan remains active until the end of the billing period, then your account is downgraded. As a free user, if you do not use D-ID for 6 months, your data will be deleted (with email notification).
