# AI tools (https://docs.apparelai.app/ai-tools)

Besides photoshoots, ApparelAI Studio has a set of AI tools for everyday catalog work: lookbooks, videos, ghost mannequin shots, background edits, color variations and styled outfits. Each tool does one job and uses credits each time you run it.

On the web, select **AI Tools** in the sidebar. The tools are grouped under **IMAGE TOOLS**, **VIDEO** and **CREATIVE**. **Home** also shows six of them under **AI Tools**. Select **View all →** there to see every tool.

Background Remover costs 1 credit and has no options. Every other image and creative tool has a **Resolution** menu with **1K (fastest)**, **2K (balanced)** and **4K (premium)**, and costs 2 credits at **2K (balanced)**, which is selected at first. The button that runs a tool shows the cost, such as **2 cr**, before you start. Videos are priced by length: see [Turn a photo into a video](/video/image-to-video#credits). For how credits work in general, see [How credits work](/getting-started/credits).



## Which plans include the tools [#which-plans-include-the-tools]

The free plan includes 3 credits a month, so you can try the tools before you choose a plan. See [Free plan credits](/billing/free-credits). To check which paid plans include each tool, see [Compare plans](/billing/plans) or the [pricing page](https://www.apparelai.app/pricing).



## Tool history [#tool-history]

Every tool run is saved in **Tool history**, newest first, so you can come back to a result later. To open it, select **History →** at the top right of any tool page. On the AI Image to Video page, the link is called **Your videos**.

<LinkButton href="https://app.apparelai.studio/tools/history" variant="secondary">Open Tool history</LinkButton>

- Before your first run, the page says "No runs yet." Select **Browse tools** to go back to the tools.
