Everything you create in Photoroom lives in a Space — an area where you create, edit, and save your designs.

Depending on how you want to work, you can choose to work alone in a Space or you can collaborate with others.

Working alone in a Space

When you first sign up to Photoroom, you get your own Space. By default:

Your Space is for your personal use
Your subscription defines what features are available to use in your Space.

If you want to work alone in your Space, that’s fine — just don’t invite anyone else to join it.

But if you want to collaborate with other people on designs, you can either:

Invite people to join your Space (it then becomes a shared Space)
Create a new Space and invite people to join
Join someone else's Space (they need to invite you to join!)

Working in a shared Space

To collaborate with other people, you need to work in a shared Space. Shared Spaces are also known as team Spaces.

You can think of a shared Space as a studio for your team, where everyone can work together to create designs.

In a shared Space, team members can:

Design together, working on the same designs at the same time
Add comments and useful feedback
Make reusable assets that are available to everyone in the team.

To create a shared Space you can either:

Invite other people to join your personal Space. When you invite people to join, your personal Space automatically becomes a shared Space.
Create a new team. The new team will get its own shared Space.

If you create a team, you are the Admin. That means you’re in charge of invites, managing membership, updating the payment method and paying for the subscription for the shared Space.

If you join someone else's Space, there is no extra cost to you. It is always the Admin for the Space that pays the subscription.

Admin and billing

Each Space has an Admin. This is either the person who created the Space or someone who has been allocated the position by the previous Admin.

The Admin is responsible for:

Inviting people to join the Space
Removing people from the Space
Managing payments, including:
- Paying for the subscription for the Space
- Updating the payment method
- Setting the plan duration
- Managing subscription cancelations.

To find out more, see Billing for shared Spaces.

Access to features in a Space

The subscription for the Space defines:

Which features are available in that Space
The amount of AI credits for that Space.

This means that you could have Pro access in one Space, but completely different access permissions in a different Space.

Diagram showing a user called Olivia having access to a free space and a pro space. In the free space, she has low AI credits and can't use pro features. In the pro space she can use pro features and has high ai credits.

For example, let’s say we have a user “Olivia”, and she is a member of two spaces:

Space A, which is a free Space
Space B, which is a Pro Space.

When Olivia works in Space A, she can only use the free features. She is also limited to the low amount of AI credits that are provided to free Spaces.

When Olivia switches to Space B, she has access to Pro features, with Pro AI credits. This is because Space B is a Pro Space (the Admin pays for a Pro subscription for the Space).

AI credits in a Space

Each Space has AI credits that are shared by the entire team. Each time any team member uses an AI feature, it costs AI credits.

If the Space runs out of credits, the AI features will be unavailable to use. The Admin can upgrade the plan to increase the credits or wait until the AI credits reset.

To find out more, see AI credits and Batch export count.
