HeyGen’s PPT/PDF-to-Video workflow documents final MP4 export, with 720p, 1080p or 4K resolution depending on the plan.

Usage limitsDocumented

Creator includes 600 credits and a limit of 30 minutes per video; credits consumed depend on model, duration and complexity. These are not a verified five-minute task cost or total monthly video minutes. Historical scope read on 2026-09-23, not rechecked in full on 2026-10-15: Free $0 with three videos a month of up to one minute, one custom video avatar and 30-plus languages; Creator $29 a month with 600 credits, up to 30 minutes per video and 1080p; Pro from $49 with 1,000 credits and 4K; Business $149 with 1,500 credits, up to 60 minutes per video and five custom video avatars. Annual totals for Pro and Business were not verified. Lists 1080p for Free, where the main pricing table we parsed leaves that column empty; also states that monthly credits roll over one billing cycle and that annual credits accumulate to the renewal date, and that they stop rolling if you cancel. States five slots for some Creator and Pro plans where the pricing page says 1+, and Business differs by purchase date and region - the slot count is a plan-version difference rather than a fixed number.Source: HeyGen - pricing · HeyGen - FAQ · HeyGen - Digital Twin FAQ
