Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe what you want in plain English and Lovable builds it.
What happens if I run out of credits?
They renew daily on the free plan. Visual edits don't use credits at all, so you can keep shaping the site while you wait.
Can I use my own domain name?
That needs a paid plan. The free lovable.app link works fine to get your site live today.
What if I don't like a change I made?
Open version history and revert to any earlier version in a couple of clicks.
