How Credits Work

Credits are the single currency that powers every tool on The Fabricant. Instead of separate allowances for images and videos, you get one credit pool that you can spend however you like - across Create Image, Edit Image, Sketch to Image, Photo Studio, Editorial, Video, Canvas, Upscaler, and Background Removal.

Think of credits like a creative budget. You choose where to spend them based on what your project needs.

Different actions use different amounts of credits, based on the quality and compute required:Images•  Fast image: 5 credits•  HQ 1K image: 7 credits•  HQ 2K image: 10 creditsUpscaling•  2K upscale: 10 credits•  4K upscale: 20 creditsVideo•  8-second video: 50 creditsQuick edits•  Background removal: 1 credit•  Enhance: 1 creditThese costs are the same on every plan. The only difference between plans is how many credits you receive each month.

•  Free: 10 credits per day
•  Basic ($19/mo): 500 credits per month
•  Pro ($59/mo): 1,750 credits per month
•  Premium ($219/mo): 7,500 credits per month
•  Enterprise (custom): Flexible shared pool

Here are a few examples of what a month might look like on each plan:
Basic (500 credits)
•  100 fast images, or
•  71 HQ 1K images, or
•  50 fast images + 5 videos
‍
Pro (1,750 credits)
•  250 HQ 1K images, or
•  175 HQ 2K images, or
•  150 HQ 1K images + 12 videos + 100 background removals, or
•  350 fast images
‍
Premium (7,500 credits)
•  871 HQ 1K images, or
•  750 HQ 2K images, or
•  500 HQ 1K images + 50 videos + 25 4K upscales

Of course, you can mix and match however you like. That is the whole point.

Fast mode generates images quickly at standard quality. It is great for exploring ideas, iterating on compositions, and getting a feel for a direction.

HQ mode uses significantly more computing power to produce higher-quality results with better detail, consistency, and fewer errors. It is built for production-ready outputs you can use directly.

HQ costs more credits because it genuinely costs more to run. We have invested heavily in improving HQ quality, stability, and reliability - and that work continues.

‍Tip: Use Fast to explore and iterate, then switch to HQ for your final outputs. This is the most efficient way to use your credits.

No. Credits reset at the end of each billing cycle on all plans. This is the same as the previous system - unused generations did not roll over either.

Enterprise plans have annual credit expiry, giving teams more flexibility to plan usage across the year.

Yes. Your remaining credit balance is visible in your account dashboard at the top of the page at all times. You will also see the credit cost of each action before you confirm it, so there are no surprises.

Once your credits are used up for the month, you will need to wait until your next billing cycle for them to refresh. You can also upgrade your plan at any time to get more credits immediately.

If you upgrade mid-month, you only pay the prorated difference.

Every generation tool on the platform uses credits:
•  Create Image
•  Edit Image
•  Sketch to Image
•  Photo Studio
•  Editorial•  Video
•  Canvas (nodal workflow)
•  Upscaler
•  Background Removal
•  Enhance

Browsing, organising your library, and downloading previously generated assets does not cost credits.

All plans (including Free):
•  Create Image, Edit Image, Sketch to Image, Photo Studio, Editorial
•  Personal library

Basic and above:
•  Video generation
•  Upscaler (up to 2K)
•  Commercial use, full data privacy, no watermark

Pro and above:
•  Canvas nodal workflow
•  SVG export
•  Upscaler up to 4K
•  HQ quality across all toolsPremium:
•  Fast priority queue (shorter wait times)

Enterprise:
•  Shared team credit pool
•  Admin dashboard
•  API access
•  Sewing Pattern tool
•  Batch generation
•  Shared team library
•  Priority support with training
•  Dedicated channel (MS Teams / Slack)
•  Annual credit expiry

Your price stays the same. Your plan stays the same. The only change is how your allowance is measured - in credits instead of separate generation and video counts.To make the transition smooth, all active paid subscribers receive 1.5x their normal credits in the first month after the switch.

‍No action is needed on your end. The update happens automatically on April 28, 2026.

The platform has grown significantly since we launched the original pricing. We have upgraded Photo Studio, Editorial, launched Canvas nodal workflow, video generation, 4K upscaling, SVG export, background removal, and major improvements to HQ mode.

The old system charged the same for Fast and HQ generations, even though HQ requires significantly more compute. As usage grows and more users rely on HQ for production work, we needed a model that reflects what each action actually costs to deliver.

Credits give you more flexibility (one pool instead of separate buckets) and more transparency (you see exactly what each action costs before you use it).
