How Credits work
Check the current cost before generating and understand when Credits are held, charged, or returned.
Local Photo Editor tools
Crop, Adjust, Spot Repair, text and local downloads do not use Credits. Photo Editor cloud AI edits require sign-in and show their cost before you generate.
Check before you generate
Check the Credit amount beside Generate before you submit.
During a generation
- Credits are held while your image is being created.
- The held Credits are charged when the Creation is ready.
- The held Credits are returned if generation fails or is cancelled.
- Retrying a failed request holds that original request’s Credit amount again.
Current account scope
Signed-out browsers receive 10 free Credits per UTC day. Signed-in work uses account Credits, including the current one-time launch grant. Studio explains Credit availability when it matters instead of showing an always-on balance. Mixboard does not currently offer recharge, subscription, payment, or Credit transfer controls.
