Frequently Asked Questions

ShaderCore is an online image-to-video generator powered by CoreEngine, our own optimized video model, and a Shop of 4K stylized illustrations ready to animate. Upload an image, write a prompt, and CoreEngine turns it into a 5-second 1080p video.

No. Everything runs online on our cloud GPUs. Nothing to install, no powerful computer required: it works in your browser, on desktop and mobile.

Yes, in two ways. The demo on the homepage is free, with a limited daily quota. And a free Pro account gives you 10 videos once you confirm your email, with no credit card required. The free bonus is granted once per person.

1 video (5 seconds, 1080p) = $0.10. Packs: $10 (100 videos), $20 (200 videos), $50 (500 videos) or $100 (1,000 videos). One-time payment, no subscription, and your credits never expire.

A credit is only used when a generation starts, and it is returned automatically if the generation fails.

Sign in with your email and password. Once signed in, the Open CoreEngine Pro button takes you straight to the Pro interface, and your credits are available immediately after each purchase.

You may use the videos you generate for personal and commercial purposes, as long as you hold the rights to the source image. If the source image comes from our Shop, the video stays covered by the Shop image license. The CoreEngine model and technology remain the property of ShaderCore.

Any content involving minors in a sexual or suggestive context, any real, identifiable person without their explicit consent (including deepfakes), and anything illegal, hateful or infringing. Breaches lead to account termination. See our Terms.

High-end 4K stylized illustrations, optimized and tested for CoreEngine I2V. Images are sold individually at $3, or in packs of 9 at $20 (you save $7). The minimum order is $20.

Right after payment, your order page updates automatically with the download buttons, and a download link is sent to your email. Packs come as a ZIP file; single images in full resolution, without watermark.

The amount paid must match your order total, otherwise the order can't be delivered. Don't pay again: contact support with your order number, and we'll either refund or complete it.

Yes. Your purchase grants a non-exclusive license for personal and commercial use: social media, videos, thumbnails, covers, marketing, games and other projects, as part of your own work. You can edit them and animate them with any tool.

No. You may not resell, share or redistribute the files, nor sell them as standalone products (prints, posters, print-on-demand, stock images, wallpapers, NFTs). Using them to train AI models is also not allowed. Full details in our license.

No. Images and packs are non-exclusive: other customers can buy the same files.

ShaderCore keeps the copyright on all Shop images. You buy a license to use them, not ownership. The images are created by ShaderCore with AI-assisted tools, then selected and refined.

Yes. All payments are processed by Gumroad over an encrypted connection. We never see or store your card or banking details.

Our prices exclude taxes. Depending on your country or state, Gumroad adds VAT or sales tax at checkout.
