What you can do with it
Envato Elements combines a large stock library with AI generation. You search and download as many assets as you need, from video templates and music to fonts, 3D and add-ons, then adjust them or generate new ones with AI tools built on models from several providers. Higher plans add more AI credits and parallel generations. Envato says the license covers everything you download or generate for commercial use.
