Credit Usage Guide
RUNER MAKER uses credits for image generation, image editing, text tasks, and export conversion. Before a task is submitted, the app shows the estimated usage for that task. Completed tasks use credits based on the work that actually finishes.
How Image Tasks Are Calculated
Image tasks include single result generation, final generation, edit mode generation, mask editing, and export image conversion. Image usage is mainly based on the reference images assigned to the current result block and the target image size.
Total cost = Base cost + Reference-image tier + Target-size tier + Surcharges
- Base cost: the base credits for the current image model (for example 0.3 credits).
- Reference-image tier: an extra charge based on the number of reference images on the current result block. See the "Reference Images" table below.
- Target-size tier: an extra charge based on the target pixel area. See the "Target Size" table below. Each threshold counts toward the higher tier.
- Advanced image: advanced result blocks (currently Connected Premium A+) add +0.8 credits.
- Shape: a square image adds +0.1; an aspect ratio beyond 1:1.5 (longer side / shorter side > 1.5) adds +0.06. These two never stack.
- Standard-image minimum: a minimum of 0.5 credits applies to the 1.2-2.6 MP standard range.
Example: Connected Premium A+ (1464x3600 ~ 5.27 MP, advanced) with 2 reference images = 0.3 (base) + 0 (0-2 references) + 0.9 (from 4.5 MP) + 0.8 (advanced) + 0.06 (ratio > 1.5) = 2.1 credits.
Reference images are counted per result block. If the same reference is used by multiple result blocks, each block is calculated separately. The app supports up to 16 reference images.
Displayed values are rounded to 0.1 credits.
Reference Images
| Reference images per result block | Extra usage |

| Loading | Loading |
Target Size
| Target pixel area | Extra usage | Minimum usage |
|---|---|---|
| Loading | Loading | Loading |
Pixel area = width x height. For example, 1600 x 1600 = 2.56 MP.
Examples
These examples update automatically from the current system settings. The in-app estimate shown before submission is the final reference.

Style Examples, Text Tasks, And Export Conversion
Style Example Image
Each generated style example image currently uses 0.5 credits. If no style reference is uploaded, the app designs the style example from the information you entered.
Text Tasks
Image scripts, language conversion, and related text tasks currently use 0.08 credits each. The in-app estimate before submission is the final reference.
Export Conversion
Export translation usually includes text processing and image conversion. Image conversion uses the same image task rules and is calculated by result block.
Other Notes
- The app shows the estimated cost before a task is submitted.
- Tasks that do not complete successfully are not charged as successful tasks.
- Different result blocks are calculated independently; submitting multiple blocks at once shows an aggregated total.
- Credits are charged by the Amazon target size, not by the image size the app actually generates internally. To preserve quality, the internal generation size may be slightly larger than the target, but billing follows the target size only.
- Credit rules may be adjusted based on service conditions; the website and in-app display stay in sync.
