Can Credits be Used Across Devices?

Yes, CapCut credits are fully synchronized across devices—as long as you're signed in to the same CapCut account. Credits are tied to your account identity, not to a specific device, operating system, or platform. This means any credit you earn (via subscription, activity, or purchase) on one platform can be spent on another without delay or manual transfer.

However, to ensure seamless cross-device usage, your apps must be updated to compatible versions that support the unified credit system (introduced broadly in 2025 and refined by 2026). Below is a platform-by-platform confirmation:

CapCut Web (CapCut Online)

Central Hub for Credit Management and Usage

Step 1: Sign in to CapCut Online account.

Step 2: Your total credit balance—including subscription, activity, and purchased credits—appears instantly in the "Credits" section under your profile.

Step 3: When using any AI-powered tool (e.g., "AI Generate Image"), the system deducts from your shared credit pool.

Step 4: Any credit transaction (earning or spending) is reflected in real time across all other logged-in devices.

📍 Note: Web is the only platform where you can view detailed credit history, see expiry dates per batch, and purchase new credits.

CapCut Desktop (Windows / macOS)

Full Credit Consumption with Real-Time Sync

Step 1: Install CapCut Desktop version 6.0 or later and log in with the same account used on Web.

Step 2: Open a project and apply an AI feature (e.g., "AI Remove Background").

Step 3: A pop-up shows your available credit balance and indicates which credit type will be used (following the priority order: subscription → activity → purchased).

Step 4: After use, your updated balance appears immediately on Web and Mobile—no refresh needed.

📍 Important: While you can use credits on Desktop, you cannot buy or manage them here. All billing actions redirect to Web.

CapCut Mobile App (iOS / Android)

On-the-Go Credit Usage with Account Sync

Step 1: Update your CapCut mobile app to version 11.7.0 or higher (required for full credit system compatibility).

Step 2: Sign in with the same CapCut account.

Step 3: Navigate to your profile → "Credits" to view your total usable balance (aggregated across all types).

Step 4: When using mobile-optimized AI tools (e.g., "AI Portrait Animation" or "Smart Cutout"), credits are automatically deducted from your shared account pool.

Step 5: Changes sync instantly—spending credits on mobile reduces your balance on Web and Desktop in real time.

📍 Clarification: The mobile app does not show credit breakdowns or expiry dates, but it fully participates in the cross-device credit economy.
