Credits & Usage

How Credits Work

Credits are used to generate or edit images on Kira.

  • Each successful image generation or edit costs 5 credits

  • Credits are only deducted when the image is successfully produced

  • Failed, cancelled, or errored generations do not consume credits

This means you’re never charged for unsuccessful results.


Free Credits

Kira offers free credits so users can try the product without payment.

Daily Free Credits

  • Free users receive 15 credits per day

  • Free credits refresh automatically every day

  • Unused free credits do not carry over to the next day

  • Existing images remain accessible

  • You can add more credits to continue using the service
