|---|---|

| 1.5K | 5 |
| 2K | 10 |
Total = Credits per image × images per request. For example, 2 images at 2K cost 20 Credits.
Not charged:
- Reference images, however many you add (up to 10).
- Mode, aspect ratio and background.
- Splitting, previewing and exporting images.
When Credits are charged
The cost is shown on the Generate button before you start. Credits are reserved when the job is accepted. If your balance is too low, the request is refused and nothing is charged.
When Credits come back
If a generation fails, its Credits are returned to your balance automatically. A successful generation is not refunded in Credits because you didn't like the result, so check settings and prompt before generating several images.
Prompt improvement
Improving a prompt costs 1 Credit, charged only on success. See Prompt improvement.
