Short answers about the Pika H3 Flex video generator, credits, rights and privacy.
Pika H3 Flex is an AI video generation model that creates 5–15 second clips with synchronized stereo audio from a text prompt or from first and last frames. On Pika H3 you can use Pika H3 Flex in the browser and download the result as an MP4.
With Pika H3 Flex you can make short cinematic shots, product showcases, social clips, character scenes with dialogue and animated photos. The model handles camera moves, hard cuts and multi-shot prompts, and adds matching sound effects, ambience and speech.
Sign in, write a prompt or upload a first frame, pick the length, resolution and aspect ratio, and press Generate. Most Pika H3 Flex videos finish within a few minutes; 2K and 4K take a little longer because of the upscaling step. You can leave the page, the result is saved to your History.
There is no free Pika H3 Flex tier. Each second of video costs credits by resolution: 480p 1, 768p 2, 1080p 4, 2K 4 and 4K 8 credits per second. A 5-second 768p clip costs 10 credits. Credits come from a monthly plan, which renews every month, or from a credit pack, which never expires.
Yes. Pika H3 Flex videos you generate with a paid plan or a credit pack can be used in commercial projects, subject to our Terms of Service and your rights to anything you upload. No watermark is added on any plan.
Yes. Your prompts and uploaded images are used only to generate your Pika H3 Flex video. Your videos are visible only to your account, download links check that the video is yours, and everything is deleted automatically after 15 days.
Pika H3 Flex outputs MP4 files (H.264 video, AAC stereo audio) at 24 fps, 5 to 15 seconds long, in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 or 21:9. Credit packs render 480p, 768p and 1080p; the Starter plan adds 2K, and Pro and Max add 4K. Uploaded frames can be JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB.
No. Credits are reserved when you press Generate and returned automatically if the Pika H3 Flex render fails, for example when a prompt is blocked by the safety filter. Failed attempts show “credits refunded” on your History page.
Every video is generated with Pika H3 Flex, the same model on every plan. Prompt enhancement, which rewrites your prompt into a more detailed shot description, is on by default and can be switched off in the studio.
Videos are kept for 15 days after they are generated; then the record and the file are deleted automatically. Download any Pika H3 Flex video you want to keep before then. Your History page shows how many days each one has left.
