Pricing

Unit price $0.08 / image

Billed by the number of images actually generated.

The price shown is for default settings; other settings can change the price and are billed at actual usage.

~12 images per $1

Each request temporarily reserves $0.08; 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.

Code examples

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.
