What is the minimum age for a Powtoon account?

To create an individual Powtoon account, you must be at least 18 years old. If you are under 18, you cannot create your own account — but you can still use Powtoon through a classroom setup arranged by your teacher or school admin.

Classroom admins supporting student access

Age requirement for individual accounts

The minimum age for an individual Powtoon account is 18. If you are 18 or older, you can create an account directly on the Powtoon website and use the platform independently.

If you are under 18, you are not eligible to create an individual account. Your teacher or classroom admin needs to set up access on your behalf through a classroom workflow.

How students under 18 can use Powtoon

Students under 18 can use Powtoon in a classroom setting without creating a personal account. Access is managed by the teacher or classroom admin, who sets up the classroom environment and grants students the ability to create and work on Powtoons within that space.

If you are a teacher or classroom admin, set up classroom access for your students rather than having them create individual accounts.

What teachers and admins should do

Confirm whether your students are under 18 before directing them to create accounts.
If any students are under 18, set up a classroom workflow so they can access Powtoon through your account or your school's setup.
Do not ask students under 18 to create individual Powtoon accounts.

Note: The specific steps for setting up classroom access depend on your school's configuration. If you are unsure which workflow applies to your class, contact your school's IT admin or reach out to our Customer Support Team, available 24/7.
