Output estimates assume no reference images and use the listed estimates below. Pack names describe usage levels; they do not imply extra model capabilities or priority processing.

HOW CREDITS WORK

One budget. Different image costs.

Choose an output setting, then account for any reference inputs. Higher-resolution output and additional reference images use more credits.

A credit is a unit of image usage on this website. It is not a minute of video, a token allowance, or a cash balance. The cost depends on the output category and the images supplied as references. Use the table to compare settings before choosing a pack, and review the studio estimate before submitting.

Output resolutionStandard outputReference input
1K3 credits+1 credit per image
2K3 credits+1 credit per image
4K8 credits+1 credit per image

For example, a standard 2K image with two references is estimated at 3 output credits plus 2 input credits, or 5 credits in total. A standard 4K image with those same references is estimated at 10 credits. The calculator applies the same per-output estimate shown by the studio. Check your account history if a balance change needs clarification.

What could your credits make?

Try 1,000 credits, or enter the amount in a credit pack. This estimate is for planning; it does not reserve or spend credits.

333estimated images
3 credits per image in this estimate

Rounded down to complete outputs. Additional attempts and reference inputs reduce the number of images your balance can cover. Failed-generation charges are returned.

What does 1,000 credits mean in practice?

With no reference inputs, 1,000 credits estimate to 333 standard 1K or 2K outputs or 125 standard 4K outputs. These are alternative ways to spend the same budget, not a combined allowance. You can also mix settings, which changes how many complete images fit.

A useful budget leaves room for iteration. If a project needs ten accepted images, it may take more than ten requests to produce them. Track the number of candidates you keep and the amount of finishing work each one needs. This helps you judge the cost of completed work instead of assuming every output will be ready to publish.

CHOOSING A PACK

Start with the work you have in mind.

Starter: a focused exploration

The 500-credit pack is the smallest listed option. It suits a limited brief or an initial evaluation of several visual directions. Plan the test before spending: choose a few representative prompts and decide which details must be correct. A smaller budget is easier to assess when each request has a purpose.

Creator: a series of ideas

The 1,600-credit pack gives more space for related concepts, such as a set of editorial images or product settings. Keep the subject and review criteria consistent across the series. Changing every setting between requests makes it harder to understand what is working and how much a repeatable workflow would cost.

Studio: a larger working budget

The 6,000-credit pack is intended for a broader project budget. It does not imply shared seats, exclusive models, commercial licensing, or faster queue access. Those are separate product terms. Credits do not expire. Review account rules when choosing a larger amount, especially if the work will be spread across a long period.

Choose resolution after composition

Use the setting that fits the task rather than choosing the largest file automatically. More pixels do not fix a missed brief. Review the composition, subject details, and intended placement first, then decide whether the final work needs a higher-resolution output.

PRICING FAQ

A few things to know before buying.

Is this a subscription?

These are one-time credit packs. There is no recurring subscription. Review the final amount and payment terms on Stripe before completing your purchase.

Do purchased credits expire?

Purchased credits do not expire. Buy a pack when you need it and use your remaining balance on future generations or edits.

Are there free H3 Image credits?

Sign in and check your account for any available free credits. No fixed signup bonus is promised on this page. Standard generation costs 3 credits at 1K/2K or 8 at 4K. Each reference adds 1 credit.

Why do image estimates change when I add references?

Each reference adds an estimated input charge of 1 credit per generated image. Add reference charges to the selected output cost. Review the studio estimate and your account balance when submitting.

What happens if a generation fails?

Credits charged for a failed generation are returned to your account. If you cannot see the adjustment, contact support with your account and the request time. Check the original request before submitting a retry, which creates a new generation.

Can I buy credits now?

Yes. Choose an available pack, sign in, and continue to Stripe. Credits update after the service confirms your payment.

Where can I check refunds and commercial-use terms?

Read the Refund Policy and Terms of Service. Unused paid credits can be refunded at any time to the original payment method. Used credits are not refundable. Commercial-use eligibility depends on the applicable content rights and service terms, not the size of your credit pack.

Can I transfer credits between accounts?

Packs are purchased for the signed-in account. No self-service transfer or account-merging feature is offered in this studio. Contact support before purchasing if you need credits assigned to a different account.
