Image input /M: $1.764
Text output /M: $8.823
Image output /M: $35.294

About $0.042 per image at default settings (1K, 1 image); higher quality, larger sizes and more images use more tokens.

Each request temporarily reserves $0.041572; you are charged for actual usage, usually within a minute: any unused amount is released and any usage above it is charged to your balance, even if that takes it below zero; while your balance is below zero, new requests are paused until a top-up covers it.

Failed generations are not charged.

Async submission returns a task ID. Poll until status is completed, then retrieve the generated content from the result. Get your API key in the console.
