Sign up and get 100 free credits

Every new ComicInk account gets 100 free credits to start with. No credit card required, no trial that expires — credits don't expire either.

On web (comicink.ai):

Email and password
Sign in with Google

On iOS (App Store):

Email and password
Sign in with Google
Sign in with Apple

You can use the same account across web and iOS — sign in with whichever method you used originally.

Email verification

If you sign up with email/password, we'll send you a verification email. Click the link in that email to activate your account. The email comes from noreply@comicink.ai with the subject "ComicInk - Confirm Your Signup".

If it doesn't arrive, look in Junk or Spam — Outlook, Hotmail, Live and Yahoo often file a first message from a new sender there (or under Other in a focused inbox). If you press Resend, only the newest email works: each new link cancels the earlier ones. Still nothing after a few minutes? See the verification email never arrived.

Until you verify, you can browse the dashboard, but you can't generate images.

If you signed up via Google or Apple, your email is already verified through the OAuth flow.

What 100 credits gets you

100 credits is a starter pack — enough to try the platform end-to-end on a short comic. See how credits work for the full cost breakdown by action.

To make a longer comic — more pages, a back cover, regenerations, or translations — you'll subscribe to a monthly plan — ComicInk Basic ($9.99/month for 1,500 credits) or ComicInk Plus ($19.99/month for 4,500 credits), with credit packs to top up either one — buy a pack in the iOS app, or use a referral link to earn more.

Is the 100 credits a one-time grant, or do I get free credits daily?

One-time. ComicInk has no daily login bonus, no daily or weekly free credits, no login streak, and no monthly allowance — opening the app every day doesn't add credits to your balance. The 100 signup credits and your first two free renders are granted once per account.

After those, credits come from referrals, from a monthly plan (ComicInk Basic or ComicInk Plus), or from buying a pack. The trade-off runs the other way too: nothing refills automatically, but nothing expires either. See how credits work.

If you opened ComicInk with a referral link

If a friend's referral code was in the URL when you signed up (e.g. ?ref=ABC123), it's automatically attached to your account during signup. They earn credits when you sign up; you don't get extra credits for being referred. See referral program for details.

If you typed a story idea at comicink.ai/quick and pressed Create Comic before you had an account, you were sent here to sign up first — a Quick Comic needs a free account, and nothing is generated until you have one. Your idea isn't lost: the story, art style and language you chose are remembered in that browser, and once you're signed in the dashboard opens the New Comic dialog with them already filled in.

That only works in the same browser. If you sign up on your laptop and open the verification email on your phone, finish signing in on the laptop to find your idea waiting; on the phone you'd start from a blank form.

Forgot your password?

On the login page, click Forgot password. Enter your email; we'll send a reset link. The link is single-use and expires after a short time — request a new one if it doesn't work.

Can't log in?

If you signed up with Google or Apple, you can't switch to email/password using the same email — you'll need to keep using the OAuth provider you started with. If you've genuinely lost access, contact support.
