YNPS Social
Unused credit packs refunded when you cancel
- If you cancel your plan or delete your account, you can ask for a refund of the generative or AI clip pack credits you haven't used. Email us and we'll send it back to the card you paid with.
What's new
The latest updates to YNPS Social. You're on version 0.9.37.
AI clip credits
- AI clips now use their own AI clip credits, so they no longer eat into your monthly generative credits. One credit makes 5 seconds.
- Buy them in packs right on the AI clip page: 10 for $11, 30 for $29 or 100 for $99. They don't expire. If you cancel, unused pack credits are refunded on request.
- Before a clip is made you see what it uses and confirm. Making a new one over a clip you have asks again, since it replaces it.
- Out of credits? The Make button turns grey and shows you the packs.
Video maker in two parts
- Video maker now has two parts: Photo videos (made right here, free) and AI clips (made by AI, uses generative credits). Each has its own button and its own list, so it's clear which is which.
AI clips move more
- AI clips now have real movement in the scene, not just the camera moving in on your photo.
- Bring it to life is the new starting choice and gives the most movement. It moves what's already in your photo and doesn't add new people or things.
- New box: What should happen? Describe the action, like "she steps back and smiles". It makes the biggest difference to what you get.
AI clips: bring a photo to life
- New in Video maker: + AI clip. Add one photo, pick a motion (Bring it to life, Push in, Orbit or Pull back), say what should happen, and AI turns it into a short video where things really move.
- Pick vertical, square or wide, and 5 or 10 seconds. A 5-second clip uses 10 generative credits.
- It takes a minute or three, and keeps going if you leave the page. If it doesn't work out, your credits come back.
- Watch it first: AI can change small details like the words on a sign. Press Looks good, then use it in a post and add music and your end card there.
- On Pro and Agency, and on the free trial.
Video maker: turn photos into videos
- New in the menu: Video maker. Add up to 15 photos and get a smooth motion video with moving text, ready for Reels, TikTok, Shorts and YouTube.
- Four looks: Glide (slow, smooth zooms and fades), Pop (quick punch-ins and slides in your brand color), Showcase (each photo floats as a card, great for products) and Cinematic (wide bars and fades through black).
- Put a title on the first photo and a line of text on any photo, in your brand color or white. The preview plays as you go, and that's exactly what you'll get.
- Press Make video, then use it in a new post or add it to a draft. Add music and your end card there like any video. Your videos stay in Video maker until you delete them, so you can change one and make it again.
- Included on every plan, and it doesn't use generative credits.
Add business type styles to your own
- Quick setup on the Brand page now asks what to do with the content styles you already have: Add to my styles keeps yours and adds the business type's new ones (up to 15 in all), and Replace my styles swaps yours for the business type's set.
- Each content style under Quick setup now has a little X. Click it to remove that style right away.
A simpler free trial card
- The free trial card on the Pricing page now lists just what's included: 2 channels, 15 posts, 25 generative credits, 2 AI music tracks and 1 email newsletter, plus everything in Solo. It sits under the three plans, next to a new box for musicians who want to earn from their music.
Design your newsletter
- A new Design box on each newsletter: pick the header (colored band, white with your logo, or logo only), the font, where photos go (above the text, beside it, or full width), and the button shape and style.
- Use your brand colors or pick a different header and button color for one newsletter.
- The preview changes as you choose. Tick Start new newsletters with this design to make it your default.
- Move sections up and down to change their order.
Your own photos in newsletters, and 4 a month
- When you start a newsletter, add up to 6 of your own photos. The writer sees them and puts each one in the section where it fits best.
- On a newsletter you're editing, any section can get a new photo: press Upload a photo, then Save changes.
- Write it again can use your photos too.
- Pro and Agency include 4 newsletters a month (per brand on Agency), shown on the Newsletter and Billing pages. Editing a newsletter or writing it again doesn't use one up.
Email newsletters
- New on Pro and Agency: Newsletter, in the menu. Pick a monthly recap or an announcement, choose the posts to draw from or just tell it the news, and it writes an email newsletter in your voice, with your colors, logo and photos.
- Edit any part, then copy it (or download it) into Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Gmail or the email tool you already use. Writing one uses 2 generative credits.
- The buttons count clicks, so the newsletter shows how many people tapped through.
Character counts you can trust
- The character counter under each caption now counts your link the way it goes out (the short link), so Approve and the counter always agree.
- Threads and Pinterest captions are written shorter, leaving room for the link.
Change every caption at once
- Under Details for the writer, a new Change every caption row has the quick changes (Shorter, Longer, More fun and the rest). One click applies it to every platform's caption. Each caption uses 1 generative credit, and removing hashtags is free.
Smooth video previews
- Preview edits now loads the whole preview before it plays (you'll see how far along it is), so it doesn't stop to buffer and shows the real length.
- Watching a preview again, or going back to edits you already previewed, plays right away without remaking it.
- Text on screen rows fit under the preview, with room to type the From and To times.
- Clearer messages when something isn't available, without technical names.
Tidier video edits
- The preview is the shape of your video, and Text on screen sits right under it.
- The video cover is smaller and sits just above Music.
- Trim, speed, turn and look share one compact box, with a single trim bar that has two handles.
- One switch for the video's own sound, instead of two.
- Moving the music volume no longer stops the music.
- After your first preview the button says Update preview, and it lights up when you've changed something.
- Pressing preview again while one is loading no longer gets stuck.
Video edits, side by side
- Video edits now show the preview on the left with every control, music included, on the right, so you see what you're changing.
- Preview edits works again for videos with an end card.
- Music plays along with the preview at the volume you pick, so you hear the mix before it goes out.
- Text on screen can't run past the end of a trimmed video anymore.
Read my website works with your Google profile
- No website, or want more to go on? On the Brand page, paste your Google Business Profile link (on Google Maps, open your business and press Share) or just type your business name and city.
- We read your profile's category, city, hours and description, plus your website if the profile lists one, and suggest your brand settings the same way. It uses one generative credit.
Posts left, and AI credits are now generative credits
- The side menu now shows how many posts you have left this month too, right above your credits. Each bar turns orange when you're down to the last 10%.
- On phones, the count at the top shows whichever one is closer to running out.
- Next to Approve you'll see how many posts you have left in the month the post goes out, and it follows the time you pick.
- AI credits are now called generative credits. Same credits, same amounts.
- Help messages now get a request number and a private link where you can read our answer and write back. Signed in, the Help page lists your requests.
- Have several brands on Agency and moving to Pro or Solo? You now pick which brand keeps the plan.
See your AI credits as you go
- The side menu shows how many AI credits you have left this month, plus any extra credits, and it updates each time you write or change a caption. On phones it's the small count at the top.
- Next to Write captions you'll see that it uses 1 credit and how many are left.
- Agency brands now get 180 AI credits a month each, up from 120.
Pick your platforms first
- A new Post to row under your photos and videos has a box for each connected platform, all on to start. Tap one to leave it out, and only the platforms that are on show a caption.
- Write captions now comes first, with Style next to it and the optional details underneath. Captions are written only for the platforms that are on.
Buy more AI credits without changing plans
- Out of AI credits before the month ends? Buy 50 more for $15 on the Billing page, paid once. Your plan stays the same.
- Extra credits are used after your monthly ones run out, and they don't expire.
Shorter captions, more music, and your own end card
- Set how long your captions are on the Brand page: Default, Short, Medium or Long. Plus how many emojis: more, fewer or none.
- Each caption has two new buttons: Remove #tags (instant) and Remove CTA.
- Music has more moods (like Calm, Confident, Dreamy and Nostalgic) and you can pick a genre, from Pop and Hip-hop to Country, Jazz and Lo-fi, when you make a track or browse the library.
- On Pro and up, upload your own end card: a picture, or a video up to 10 seconds. It's fitted to every shape.
Big videos just work
- Videos over 100 MB (like 4K clips from your phone) are now shrunk to 1080p right on your device, then uploaded. Keep the page open while it says Shrinking.
- Big videos upload in pieces, so a shaky phone connection is less likely to stop them.
- A clear progress bar shows each step: shrinking, uploading, then added.
- Smoother on phones: less flicker while you scroll and move between pages.
- YouTube now shows on a post only when it has a video. Photo slideshows for YouTube were removed.
Photos to YouTube as a slideshow
- Post 2 or more photos and they can go to YouTube too, as a vertical slideshow with a soft fade between photos.
- Add a line of text on any photo, choose how long each one shows, and press Preview to watch it first.
- A post with just one photo no longer offers YouTube, since YouTube needs a video.
Read my website saves as you go, and your logo shows on the end card
- After Read my website, each suggestion you Use (or Use all) is saved right away. No need to press Save.
- A logo from your website, or one you paste as a link, now shows on your video end card. We keep our own copy of it, so it shows up even if your website changes.
YouTube is here
- Connect your YouTube channel and post videos and Shorts straight from your post card.
A better free trial, referrals and a tidier menu
- The free trial now includes every Pro feature for 5 days, posting to Facebook and Instagram.
- Refer a business from your Account page: when they pay for their first month, you both get 50 bonus AI credits that never expire.
- The plans now sit side by side, with the free trial in its own box above them.
- The side menu is more compact, so everything fits without scrolling.
Try it free for 5 days, and new prices
- New free trial: 5 days of Solo with half its monthly limits. Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing.
- Plans are now Solo $39, Pro $79 and Agency $169 a month.
A moving end card, with your tagline
- Your video end card now moves: your brand colors drift across the background while your logo, name, tagline, call to action and website fade in.
- Add an optional tagline on the Brand page. It shows under your name on the end card.
- Press Play on the Brand page to watch your end card before it goes on a video.
Cleaner emails, one reminder at a time
- Emails from us have a fresh look: clear buttons for the thing to do next, tidy lists and a proper signature.
- Fixed: some people got the same reminder twice in a row. Each reminder now goes out once.
Edit your videos, with a branded end card
- New Video edits on every video post: trim the start and end, change the speed, turn sideways clips, turn off the video's sound, adjust brightness, contrast and color, fade in or out, and add up to three lines of text.
- Your branded end card: your logo, name, call to action and website at the end of your videos, drawn to fit each platform's shape. Pro and up can choose what shows, the color and how long it stays.
- Preview your edits in any shape before you approve. Music is mixed into the edited video when it goes out.
- More answers in the FAQ about how videos and music work, and the FAQ sections are easier to scan.
Helper tips
- Turn on Helper tips on the Account page and a small i shows beside the main parts of each page. Hover or tap it for a short note on what that part does.
- The setup guide now always opens each page at the top, so the next step is the first thing you see.
A guided start
- New accounts get a short setup guide: connect a channel, get your brand ready, look at your styles, check your details, pick your audience and make a first post. Pause it anytime and pick up where you left off.
- Schedule and Calendar show a quick tour the first time you open them.
- New Help while you work section on Account: restart the setup guide, see the page tours again, and turn Helper tips on or off.
Write for your audience
- New Audience page (Pro and up): tell us who your business markets to, like homebuyers, executives or your regulars, and every caption is written for them on every channel.
- Pick a main audience, and switch any single post to one of your others right on the post card.
- Suggestions made for your type of business to start from, or write your own.
Download your posts, and files stay longer

- Photos and videos now stay for 30 days after a post goes out (it used to be 7).
- The calendar uses the whole screen on a computer, and every post shows which channels it goes to.
- Leaving Brand, Styles or Schedule with changes you haven't saved now asks if you want to save first.
- Plans now show how many platform posts you get: one post can go to every channel you've connected.
Plans and early access
- Three plans to pick from (Solo, Pro and Agency), with a pricing page and plan switching from Billing.
