#Why can I only generate 5000 credits per time? Why not just 10.000?

Short answer: the website’s Speech Synthesis UI has a hard per-generation cap of 5,000 characters on paid plans (2,500 on free). If you’re seeing “5,000 credits,” that’s because credits map to text characters for TTS, so this equals the 5,000‑character input limit in the web UI. (help.elevenlabs.io)

How to generate 10,000+ in one go:

  • Use the API. Model input limits are higher: Multilingual v1/v2 allow up to 10,000 characters, and Flash v2.5 or Turbo v2.5 allow up to 40,000 characters per request. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Or use Studio for long‑form content (split into paragraphs/chapters). Studio supports very large projects, with up to 5,000 characters per paragraph. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Note: There’s also a separate protection that limits how many credits can be consumed “at once” to 2× your plan’s monthly quota; this is unrelated to the 5,000‑character web‑UI cap but may affect very large jobs. (help.elevenlabs.io)

The docs don’t give a specific “why” for the 5,000‑character web limit; they only state the limit and the available workarounds above. (help.elevenlabs.io)

How do you use studio? Where do you download it?

Short answer:

  • You don’t download Studio. It’s a built‑in production workflow in ElevenLabs; you create a project, work in the UI, and export your results when ready. To get files out, click Export (chapter or full project) and download the generated MP3/WAV or full video for video voiceovers. (help.elevenlabs.io)

How to use Studio (essentials):

  • Create a project (e.g., New audiobook, New video voiceover, or New blank project > Video project). Import content via EPUB, PDF, DOCX, TXT, HTML, or a URL; for video voiceovers, upload your video via Imports. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Edit text, assign voices, and manage chapters (Project options > Manage chapters). Use the timeline to arrange and fine‑tune clips. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Export to download: choose Export for a chapter or the whole project. Studio outputs MP3 or WAV (available formats/quality depend on plan). If changes aren’t in your download, export a new version. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Availability: Studio is included on all plans (Free and paid). (help.elevenlabs.io)

If you were asking about a mobile download: the official ElevenLabs app (not Studio) is available on iOS and Android. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Why isn’t the 5000 credit per generation limit there on the Mobile app though?
