Help · Getting started
Do I need an account?
Yes — and it is free, and there is no password anywhere in Crevano. The studio opens once you are signed in, with Google or with a six-digit code we email you. We ask for an email address and that you are 13 or over, and that is all. No card, at any point.
The account is what gives you cloud saving: a project you start on one computer is waiting on the next, with 5 GB of storage on the free plan.
What you are asked for, once
Signing in from the studio is one step: Continue with Google, or Email me a six-digit code, with the terms and the 13-or-over confirmation on the same card.
If you come in through the sign-up page instead, it asks the same things in three:
- Your date of birth. This is an age check and nothing else — the date itself is not kept.
- An email address, so we can send you the code and the occasional new pack of elements. You can unsubscribe from that without losing access to anything.
- A tick to agree to the terms.
That is the whole of it. After that the studio opens directly.
What this means in practice
What we hold. We hold a copy of your projects, so they reach your other devices. Your uploaded photographs sit inside those projects; a font you add never leaves your device at all. We do not show your work to anyone, and we never train anything on it. What we store is set out in the Privacy Policy.
Your work follows you. Open Crevano on another computer, sign in, and your projects are there. See Save and back up your work.
Keep your own copy as well. Save writes a .crev file to your computer that opens anywhere and depends on nobody. Cloud saving is the convenience; your own file is the backup. See Where your work is saved.
What it costs
Crevano is free to start. The studio, your own photographs, the element library, a starter set of templates and cloud saving with 5 GB of storage cost nothing, and there is no watermark on anything you export, ever. The full template library, a print PDF with bleed and crop marks, the KDP export and 100 GB of cloud storage will be on the paid plan. It is not open for sign-ups yet; when it opens it will be $12 a month or $99 a year with a 14-day trial.
