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.
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. 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.
This means you have one Space where you can collaborate with other people. If you want paid features, you will need one subscription for the Space. There is no extra cost to you if people join your Space.
If you share your Personal Space, you will no longer have a Space that's private.
Create a new team.
The new team will get its own shared Space called a Team Space. This is separate to your Personal Space.
If you want paid features in the Team Space, you will need a separate subscription for that Space. Any subscription in your Personal Space does not apply to your Team Space(s).
Space admin and billing
Each Space has at least one Admin. The person who created the Space is an Admin for that Space and it's possible to make other users Admins too. Admins are responsible for:
Inviting people to join the Space
Removing people from the Space
Upgrading the Space
Managing payments, including:
Paying for the subscription for the Space
Updating the payment method
Managing subscription cancelations.
Note: Photoroom will use the payment details provided by the first Admin to buy a subscription. This is important in Spaces that have more than one Admin.
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.
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.
