Credits are the usage units for AI generation on howtopose.ai. When you run generation tools, credits are deducted based on the selected model and options.
2. Which Actions Consume Credits?
- Credits are consumed when you submit AI generation tasks in tool pages.
- Browsing pages, uploading files before submission, and adjusting parameters do not consume credits.
- The final deduction is based on the model pricing matrix at the time the task is submitted.
