OpenAI's Sora was announced in early 2024 as a revolutionary AI video generator, but access has been extremely limited. It requires a ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription, has usage caps, and many users report long wait times. Velee offers the same core capability — generating AI videos from photos — but with instant free access, no waitlist, and no subscription required.

Yes! New users receive free credits to generate AI videos immediately. Each video costs 30 credits. You can earn more credits by inviting friends, daily check-ins, and sharing your creations. There are also affordable credit packs if you need high-volume generation, but most casual users find the free credits more than enough.

Velee produces 5-second AI videos with cinematic camera movement, smooth natural motion, and high-definition output. While Sora can generate longer videos, Velee's 5-second output is optimized for the most common use cases: social media content, animated photos, and creative projects. The motion quality and visual fidelity are comparable to premium AI video tools.

No. Velee is 100% browser-based. There is nothing to download or install. It works on any modern browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile. All the heavy AI processing happens on our cloud GPU servers, so your device specs don't matter. Just upload a photo, click generate, and download your video.

Absolutely. Your uploaded photos are processed on secure GPU servers and the generated videos are stored for 24 hours so you can download them. After 24 hours, both the original photo and the video are permanently deleted. We never share, review, or use your content for training or any other purpose.
