How Credits Work
3 min
At MaskIT, we use a credit-based system to give you flexibility. One credit is consumed for each operation.
Credits are calculated based on image resolution:
- An image up to 12 MP = 1 credit
- Images larger than this consume credits based on multiples of that resolution.
Example:
- Anonymizing one image of 3072x3072 px (โ 10 MPx) = 1 credit
- Anonymizing one image of 4032 x 3024 px (โ 12 MPx) = 1 credit
- Anonymizing one image of 4608 ร 3456 px (โ 16 MPx) = 2 credits
- Anonymizing one image of 8192 x 6144 px (โ 50 MPx) = 4 credits
There are two types of credits in our system:
Monthly Credits
These are the credits included in your monthly subscription (e.g. 25 credits in the Free plan).
- Validity: They are valid for your monthly billing cycle.
- Expiration: Unused monthly credits expire at the end of your billing cycle and do not roll over to the next month.
- Renewal: A new batch of monthly credits is added to your account automatically at the start of each billing cycle.
Universal Credits
These are extra credits you can buy at any time (excluding the Free plan) if you run out of your monthly allowance.
- Validity: They are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
- No Expiration: Unused Universal credits roll over each month up to 12 months validity.
- Usage: They are automatically consumed after you have used up all of your monthly credits for the current cycle.
