# Create your account

> Sign up for Kive and start generating AI content in minutes

Create a Kive account to start generating images and videos. Signing up takes a few minutes and gives you a free workspace with starter credits. Invite teammates anytime and upgrade later if you need more features.

## Steps

1. **Go to kive.ai and click Get started.** Choose **Continue with Google**, **Continue with Apple**, or sign up with email and password. Accept the terms to create your account.

2. **Verify your email.** We’ll send a verification link; click it to activate your account.

3. **Complete your profile.** A short setup wizard personalizes your workspace:
   * **Your profile:** Enter your first and last name and select where you heard about Kive. Optionally add a company or store name and a store URL — Kive can import your brand and products from the URL for a better starting experience.
   * **Your work:** Choose what best describes your work — Brand or online store, Agency, Freelance creative, or Just exploring.
   * **Categories (optional):** Pick the product categories that match your work.
   * **Visual direction (optional):** Select a few looks that match your taste to tune your starting presets, then click **Finish setup**.

4. **Join a workspace (if available).** If your company email domain matches an existing Kive workspace, you're prompted to join it (or create your own) right after the profile step, skipping the remaining personalization steps.

5. **Select a plan (optional).** Start free or upgrade to Basic, Pro, or Enterprise for more credits and features.

## Tips

Tip: Verify your email — some features stay locked until you do.

Tip: If you plan to work with a team, invite colleagues from [Manage members](/account-workspace-settings/manage-members) after signup so everyone works in the same workspace.

Tip: You can switch plans anytime from **Settings → Subscription**.

<Note>
  Credits are only deducted when generating final images/videos or using editing
  tools.
</Note>

<Note>
  Unverified accounts show a banner reminder to verify your email. While you can
  generate and edit immediately, verification is needed for downloads and team
  features.
