Your Sketchfab plan determines the number of non-downloadable models you can upload and publish each month:

An upload credit is used when a model is uploaded to Sketchfab and published without being made downloadable. In other words, on any Sketchfab plan:

A credit is used when you publish a model which is not downloadable.

A credit is used when you convert an existing model to view-only (e.g. make a downloadable model private or disable downloads on a model), even if the model was not published in the current month.

Re-uploading a model does not use an additional credit.

Deleting a model that was published in the past 24 hours will restore one credit. Deleting a model older than 24 hours will not restore a credit.

Public downloadable models and Draft models do not count against your credits.

Your credits will reset each month, based on the date that you signed up (for free Basic accounts) or upgraded (for paid accounts). You can find your upgrade date under Your Limit in Account Settings.

You can earn additional credits (even beyond your account's maximum) in a month by making some of your existing, older models downloadable (and public). Uploading new models as downloadable will not earn additional credits, it will simply not use credits.

Sketchfab staff may also provide additional credits to users participating in events, such as contests.

Additional credits do not rollover into the next month; credits will always reset to your plan's maximum at the end of the monthly period.
