Example — generated from this input

Make it a snowy winter version of the icon: change the umbrella to bright red, add a few soft snowflakes falling around the cloud, and change the background gradient to icy blue and white. Keep the smiling cloud, its face, the rounded tile shape and the 3D style exactly the same.

Pricing

Billed by actual usage; there is no fixed unit price.

Typically about $0.04 per image at default settings.

Each request temporarily reserves $0.04; 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.
