About Runway

Runway is a cloud-based AI platform for generating and editing video, images and audio. Its main product, Runway Creative, combines these tools in one workspace, with access to Runway's own models such as Gen-4.5 alongside third-party models including Kling 3.0, Seedance and Nano Banana Pro. It also includes an agentic creative collaborator, 4K upscaling, music, voice and sound effects generation, and iOS and Android apps.

Usage runs on credits. Each model costs a set number of credits per generation, depending on duration and resolution. Higher plans add more parallel generations, brand kits, custom voice clones, Runway MCP access and studio-grade outputs such as HDR and ProRes. Runway Dev offers an API platform for developers, and Runway Ads generates on-brand video and image ads and publishes them to Meta, Google and TikTok.

Runway describes itself as used by more than 60 million creatives. It serves individuals, teams and enterprises, and also runs a separate robotics platform built on its GWM-1 world model.
