## In brief
Playground AI is a template-based graphic editor for logos, posters, social posts and product images. It combines Playground's own model with GPT Image, Seedream and Nano Banana.

Pro and Pro Plus tier credits and edits; background removal, upscaling and SVG vectorization are paid features. Details are in the pricing overview.


## Limits
The pricing page describes shared model credits: standard models cost 1 credit, Nano Banana Pro 4. Pro includes 150 monthly credits and lists an additional Nano Banana Pro model cap; these are not separate full image bundles to add together. Pro Plus includes 1,000 shared monthly credits. Cards, comparison tables, and help disagree on Playground v3 quantities for Free and Pro, so no single amount is given here.
