Plans & credits.

Each generation costs credits depending on the AI model you pick. Current per-image costs:

• Nano Banana – 4 credits (most affordable all-round model).
• Nano Banana 2 Lite – 4 credits (fastest model, available in the image generator).
• Nano Banana 2 – 8 credits in 1K, 12 in 2K, 18 in 4K.
• GPT Image 2 – 6 credits in 1K, 10 in 2K, 16 in 4K.
• Nano Banana Pro – 18 credits in 1K and 2K, 36 in 4K.

Your monthly plan credits:

• Free – 10 credits every day as a guest, 15 with a free account – reset daily.
• Starter – 300 monthly credits.
• Pro – 1,200 monthly credits.
• Studio – 4,800 monthly credits.

Every paid plan keeps the 15 free daily credits too – standard generations spend them first, so your monthly credits last longer. And even on an empty balance you can keep generating every day.

Yes – on every plan, including Free, your data is always one click away from deletion:

• One image – tap the trash icon on any image. It moves to the Bin for 30 days (restore it anytime), then it's gone for good – or open the Bin and delete it permanently right away.
• Everything at once – open the Bin tab in the editor and click “Delete my data”. After a typed confirmation, all your images and your full history are permanently wiped. This works without an account too.
• With a profile – the same “Delete all my data” control also lives in your profile's danger zone, next to full account deletion (which additionally cancels any active subscription).

Using Photolaria without an account? Your images also expire on their own after 7 days.

Your 15 free daily credits cover the everyday basics – they refresh every day, and standard generations use them first. Monthly and purchased credits cover fast speed, higher resolutions, premium models and everything beyond the basics.

You can also buy a one-time credit pack at any time – no subscription required. Pack credits never expire.

• Monthly credits are included in your plan and refresh every billing cycle – unused ones don't roll over.
• Purchased credits are one-time credit packs that anyone can buy – no subscription required. They never expire and stay spendable even if a subscription ends. While you hold purchased credits, premium AI models are unlocked too.
• Daily credits – free credits every day on every plan: 15 with an account (where they are guaranteed), 10 as a courtesy in guest sessions.

Spending order: standard generations use your free daily credits first, then monthly credits, then purchased credits. Fast speed, higher resolutions and premium models always draw on monthly or purchased credits – your free daily credits are never spent on them.

Every generation runs at one of two speeds, picked in the Settings menu under the model in the editor and the image generator:

• Standard – the default speed, available to everyone on every plan. During periods of high demand, Standard generations may take longer than usual.
• Fast – can be significantly faster in peak hours than Standard, with more stable generations that are less affected by high demand.

Both speeds use the same AI models and cost the same credits. Fast is included with every paid plan and credit pack – it always draws on subscription or purchased credits.

The AI Assistant is a free chat built into the photo editor and the image generator – open it with the “AI Assistant” button under the prompt field. Describe what you want in your own words – any language works – and it writes a polished, ready-to-run prompt; one click on “Use this prompt” drops it straight into the prompt field. You can also ask it anything about how Photolaria works.

• It sees your photos – upload a photo and the assistant can describe it and tailor an edit prompt to exactly that image.
• It knows your setup – the selected model, generation speed, aspect ratio, resolution and whatever is already in your prompt field, so it refines your draft instead of starting over.
• It answers questions – ask it anything about Photolaria: credits, plans, models or how a feature works.

Chatting is free and never spends your credits. To keep it fair there's a daily message limit – 10 messages as a guest, 25 with a free account, 100 on paid plans – plus a few seconds' pause between messages. Your chat keeps the last 30 messages and moves to your account when you register; guest chats are deleted after 7 days.

No. Credit packs are one-time purchases available to everyone – guests included. If you don't have an account yet, one is created automatically at checkout with the email you enter (or create a free account first), and your existing photos come with it.

Pack credits never expire, and while you hold them premium AI models are unlocked. If you create regularly, a subscription is the better deal – subscription credits cost about half as much per credit.

Yes, anytime – you manage it yourself in the Stripe billing portal. What happens to your credits depends on the direction:

• Upgrades take effect immediately. Stripe charges a prorated amount for the rest of your current cycle, and we add credits in proportion to that charge – a partial top-up now, not the full monthly allowance, which arrives at your next renewal.
• Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You keep your current plan and all its credits until then – nothing changes mid-cycle and there's no extra charge. At your next renewal you move to the new plan and your credits reset to its amount.

Either way, only your monthly subscription credits change – your purchased and free daily credits are never affected.

To make the change, in the Stripe billing portal choose Update plan (sometimes shown as “Change plan”), pick your new plan, and confirm. To open the portal:

• On desktop – click your avatar (the circle with your initial, top-right) → My profile → in the Billing section click Open billing portal.
• On mobile – tap the menu (☰, top-right) → My profile → in the Billing section tap Open billing portal.

Yes, anytime – no questions asked. You cancel it yourself in the Stripe billing portal:

• On desktop – click your avatar (the circle with your initial, top-right) → My profile → in the Billing section click Open billing portal.
• On mobile – tap the menu (☰, top-right) → My profile → in the Billing section tap Open billing portal.

In the Stripe portal, choose Cancel plan (sometimes shown as “Cancel subscription”) and confirm.

Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period, then your account switches to the Free plan. And you lose nothing that matters: you keep your full account on every device, your private gallery with your complete history, 15 free daily credits – and any purchased credits, which stay spendable with no time limit.

Yes. Every new subscription comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee – if Photolaria isn't for you, contact us within 14 days of your first payment and we'll refund it in full, as long as you've generated no more than 10 images since subscribing.

A refund removes what the payment provided – the subscription, the credits it granted, and the images created since. Your account and everything from before it stay intact. If you just want to stop paying, cancel instead – nothing is removed. See the full refund & cancellation policy.

No – but a free account is worth having. Without one, the Free plan uses a temporary session on a single device, with 10 daily credits as a courtesy (our abuse protection may limit free generations).

Create a free account – sign in with your email or Google – and you get 15 free daily credits, guaranteed and tied to your balance, plus access on every device, unlimited history and a gallery that survives browser resets.
