Stop waiting hours for local renders. Upload your AE project, let our cloud machines handle the heavy lifting, and get your files back in minutes.
Our AWS cloud instances provide up to 16 vCPUs. Your local machine stays free for creative work.
Watch your render frame-by-frame via WebSocket, directly inside After Effects.
We detect and install your project plugins on the render machine automatically.
TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest. Files are deleted after your retention period.
Know the cost before you render. No surprise bills.
Cloud instances render faster than most local setups. Minutes, not hours.
Rendering After Effects compositions locally can take hours, especially with complex particle effects, 3D layers, or high-resolution outputs. During that time, your machine is essentially unusable — fans spinning at full speed, applications lagging, and creative work grinding to a halt. Cloud rendering solves this by offloading the entire rendering process to dedicated machines in the cloud.
With FreeCPU, your After Effects project is securely uploaded to a cloud instance with up to 16 vCPUs. The render happens on our infrastructure while your local machine stays completely free. You can continue editing, start a new project, or simply step away — the render runs independently and notifies you when it's done.
Unlike traditional render setups, there's no hardware to buy, no servers to configure, and no software to maintain. Our system automatically detects the plugins used in your project and installs them on the cloud machine before rendering begins. The output is identical to what you'd get from a local render, because we use the same native After Effects render engine.
Use the FreeCPU plugin inside After Effects to send your project to the cloud.
