4. Credit System and Usage
How Credits Work
Our Service operates on a credit-based system. Credits are consumed each time you perform an image processing operation. Different operations consume different amounts of credits based on their computational complexity:
| Operation | Credits per Image |
|---|---|
| Resize | 1 credit |
| Tag (AI metadata generation) | 1 credit |
| Upscale (AI enhancement) | 2 credits |

Credits are deducted at the time of processing. If you do not have sufficient credits for an operation, the request will be declined. Batch operations will consume credits for each image processed.
