Credit consumption in Image Studio depends on the model you choose and your generation settings. Different models have different base costs, and certain settings—like resolution, aspect ratio, and the number of images—adjust the total cost before you generate.
For a full explanation of how credits work, how they are allocated, and how to manage your balance, see the Understanding Credits page.

​
Check your cost before generating

You never need to guess what a generation will cost. ImagineArt shows you the exact credit cost in real time.

Adjust your settings

As you change your settings, the credit cost updates automatically. Settings that affect cost include:
  • Image size and aspect ratio — Larger output dimensions cost more.
  • Resolution — 2K and 4K outputs cost more than 1K.
  • Prompt enhancer — Enabling the prompt enhancer adds a small credit cost.
  • Number of images — Generating 4 images costs 4× the per-image rate.

Credit costs are updated regularly. The tooltip in Image mode is always the source of truth. The tables below reflect current costs but may not reflect future changes.

​
Create / Edit image (base cost per image)

Credits shown are the base cost for generating 1 image. Generating multiple images multiplies this cost.

​
Upscale image

Upscale costs vary depending on the input image size and the selected output scale factor.
Example: A 1920×1080 image at 2× costs approximately 41 credits with the Topaz model
Note: Credit consumption for each generation may differ depending on the number of images generated. The breakdown provided above is for single image generation.
