Example — generated from this input

A cheerful flat vector illustration of a hilltop park on a breezy spring day: exactly five children each flying one kite, and the five kites are red, orange, yellow, green and blue, from left to right. A big oak tree on the right, a golden retriever running beside the children, fluffy clouds and a small town in the valley below. Clean shapes, soft pastel sky, playful and detailed. No text.

Pricing

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

Typically about $0.14 per image at default settings.

Each request temporarily reserves $0.14; 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.
