How to Use Photo Editing Credits Without Wasting Them

The rules the site states

• One balance of credits works across the tools.
• Every tool shows how many credits a run uses before it starts, and nothing runs until you confirm.
• Credits are held only while your photo is being processed. If processing fails they are returned automatically, and while a result is still unconfirmed the hold can last until the check is finished.
• Credits expire. Credit packs bought on the website last 365 days, subscription credits up to 60 days, and welcome credits for new members 14 days. Credit packs bought in the app never expire. The credits that expire soonest are used first. (Terms, pricing page)
• A finished result is kept for 24 hours so you can download it. The Privacy Notice says results are fully deleted from storage within 7 days.
• Plans, packs and the current amounts are on the pricing page, and the pricing page is the reference if anything here is out of date.

Habits that help

6b. Use credits before they expire. Credits have an expiry date, so don't let a balance sit; the soonest-to-expire credits are used first.

1. Pick the right tool first

   Read the tool page and look at its examples before uploading.

2. Prepare the photo

   A sharp, well-lit photo with the subject clearly visible gives the tool more to work with. See our guides for the tool you are using.

3. Test with one photo

   If you have many photos, run one first and check the result at 100 percent. Only then do the rest.

4. Read the price every time

   Prices differ between tools, so look at the number before you confirm.

5. Change the input before you repeat

   If a result is not right, try a different photo, a smaller change or another option. Repeating the same input costs credits again.

6. Download straight away

   Results are kept for 24 hours, so save the ones you want.

7. Check what each tool cannot do

   For example, photo restoration keeps the original tones (for colour on a black-and-white photo, use the colorize tool), and virtual try-on does not accept underwear or swimwear. Reading the limits first avoids a wasted run.

What is not waste, and what is

• A run that fails: credits come back automatically, so nothing is lost. If the result is not yet confirmed, the credits may stay held until the check is finished.
• A run that finishes but you do not like the result: the credits are used, because the run completed. That is why testing with one photo matters.
• Using the credit balance for a photo that does not suit the tool is the most common waste: for instance, a very small or very dark photo.

Before you run a batch

• Write down what a good result looks like (sharp edges, the same face, the right colour).
• Run one photo, then compare the result with that list.
• If it passes, run the others. If not, change the input.
