Included with every paid plan

Bring your own OpenRouter key

Every paid plan can point image generation and editing at its own OpenRouter account. OpenRouter bills you for the model directly, and we charge 2 credits per call instead of the full model price.

How BYOK with OpenRouter works →

  • 2 credits per generation or edit — no per-model markup
  • Any image model your OpenRouter account can reach
  • Works in the playground, the REST API and every MCP tool
  • Stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM), never shown or returned again
  • Pause or remove the key anytime to fall back to platform credits

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about plans, credits, and BYOK.

What is a credit and how are image operations calculated?
Each call deducts credits up front: compression and format conversion cost 1, text-to-SVG 5, background removal 8 and upscaling 15. Generation and editing cost the selected model's rate — 8 to 30 credits, 15 by default — or a flat 2 with your own OpenRouter key on a paid plan. Transparent generation adds 8 for the cutout. There is no resize or crop tool.
Is there a free plan?
Yes — new accounts get 30 credits once, on sign-up, with no card required. That covers one generation, one background removal, one text-to-SVG, one compression and one conversion. The free balance does not refill; add a plan or a credit pack when you need more.
Do Credit Packs expire?
No. Credit Packs never expire. Buy one any time for occasional bursts, with or without a monthly subscription — pack credits land in the same balance as your plan credits.
Do unused credits roll over?
Yes. Plan and pack credits are added to your existing balance and nothing resets it, so credits you do not spend stay available.
What happens to my credits when a call fails?
They are refunded automatically, and the error response reports refundedCredits. The one exception is a transparent generation whose cutout step fails: you still receive the un-cut image and the call is billed in full.
What is the difference between API and MCP server access?
API access allows traditional REST endpoint requests, while MCP server access allows direct integration into Model Context Protocol clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and custom agent toolchains without glue code.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan at any time?
Yes! You can switch plans whenever your workflow demands it directly from your Dashboard Billing tab.
Can I use my own OpenRouter API key?
Yes — every paid plan (Starter, Pro and Enterprise) can connect its own OpenRouter key from Dashboard → Billing. Image generation and editing then run on your OpenRouter account, which OpenRouter bills you for directly, and we charge a flat 2 credits per call instead of the full model cost. Tools that run on our own providers — background removal, upscaling and Text → SVG — keep their standard credit price.
How is my OpenRouter key stored, and can I remove it?
The key is verified with OpenRouter once, then stored encrypted with AES-256-GCM. It is never displayed again and never returned by the API — the dashboard only shows its last 4 characters. You can pause it to fall back to platform credits, or delete it outright, at any time.
