- What do I get for free?
- Fifty credits when you sign up, and no card is asked for. That covers naming the book, shaping its outline, writing every chapter and drawing cover artwork — a real book you export as a print-quality PDF and are free to sell. Free exports carry one line of small type in the footer. How far the 50 goes depends on how much you rework: rewriting a chapter costs a credit, and most people spend a few.
- What is a credit?
- What you spend as the book gets made: writing the chapters, drafting titles, drawing cover artwork. A whole first book runs about 46. You always see what a step costs before you take it, and your balance is on screen while you work.
- Do credits expire?
- Plan credits refresh at the start of each billing period — a fresh full balance every month rather than a pile that carries over. Credits bought outright stay good for three months. Your 50 free signup credits never expire at all.
- Is there a watermark on my file?
- On the free plan there is one line of small type in the footer — “Made with CreateEbook”. Nothing across the artwork, nothing over your writing, and the book still reads and prints properly. Every paid plan removes it, from the PDF and from your opt-in page, and the file is then entirely yours with no mention of us anywhere in it.
- Who owns the ebook I create?
- You do, completely. You supplied the knowledge, you edited the text, and we claim no rights over the result. Sell it, license it, put your own copyright notice in the front matter.
- Can I sell the ebooks I make here?
- Yes. Commercial use is included on every plan and we take no percentage of what you earn. If you sell through Amazon KDP, Gumroad or Payhip, that platform's own fee applies — that part is between you and them.
- What happens if I stop paying?
- Books you have made stay yours and stay downloadable. A plan buys new work, not access to old work. Your subscriber list stays exportable too.
- What file formats do I get?
- A print-quality PDF with embedded fonts, correct trim size and correct margins, plus a hosted opt-in page at a shareable link. EPUB is not offered: it reflows text and would discard the typesetting the book is for.
