## How to Upgrade to Pro

1. Log in to your Pictor account at [app.pictor.pro](https://app.pictor.pro)
2. Go to **Account Settings → Billing → Licenses**
3. Select the **Pro** plan ($99/month)
4. Choose monthly or annual billing (annual saves ~17%)
5. Confirm your payment method and complete the upgrade

Your account will upgrade immediately, and you'll have access to all Pro features right away.

## Important: AI Is on Every Plan

A quick note — AI photo and video features are available on **all Pictor plans**, including Basic ($49/mo). The difference is:

- **Basic** — access to curated AI presets and styles (ready-to-use)
- **Pro and up** — full Custom Prompt Editor (create unlimited custom AI styles)

All plans use the same **token system** for AI processing. Tokens are purchased separately from your subscription and cover GPU usage for AI photo/video generation. You can add tokens anytime from the Billing section.

## Pro Licensing for Multiple Devices

If you're running multiple devices or events simultaneously, you'll need one Pro license per active device. Each license covers one event at a time — you can switch between events freely. See our article on [Pro licensing for multiple devices](https://support.pictor.pro/en/articles/14891533) for details.

## Still Not Sure?

Every plan comes with a free trial period — no credit card required. You can test Pro features before committing.
