DOWNLOAD FAQ
Is Zella free?
Yes, permanently. Zella Free is the complete editor and every AI feature, with no watermark on any export and no account. Free exports run up to 2 minutes at 1080p. Pro and Founder are optional one-time purchases, never subscriptions.
What do I need to run Zella?
macOS 14 Sonoma or later on Apple Silicon or Intel, and about 200 MB of free disk space. Zella for iPhone needs iOS 18 or later. Everything runs on the device, so there is no account and nothing is uploaded.
Does buying Pro on one device cover the other?
Yes. Zella Pro is a one-time Universal Purchase, so paying once on iPhone also unlocks the Mac app, and the other way around. There is no second charge and nothing to restore manually.
Where do I actually pay?
Inside the app, never on this site. Pro and Founder are in-app purchases billed by Apple to the payment method already on your Apple ID, so Zella never sees or stores your card details.
