What costs credits, what doesn't
A reference table of every credit-spending action in ComicInk.

Action | Cost | Notes |

Regenerate a page | 50 credits | Same cost as the original |
Regenerate a single panel | 50 credits | Cheaper than redoing the page if only one panel is wrong |

Generate a back cover | 50 credits | Optional; skip if you don't want one |

Translate a back cover | 50 credits | |
Add a panel to an existing page | 50 credits | Layout changes regenerate the page |
Remove or reorder panels | 50 credits | Same — layout regen |
Image fix ("Fix Errors") — 3rd fix onward | 50 credits | First 2 fixes per page are free; "Fix Errors" always regenerates the whole page |

Generate a store banner or store logo | 10 credits | Every generation, no free quota |
Every entity image — character, character avatar, asset, asset avatar, world, series title, store banner/logo — costs the same flat 10 credits, whether it's the first image you generate or the fiftieth regeneration. There's no free-character quota and no free-regeneration count anymore.
Story Videos — per-second pricing (web only)
Story Video renders are charged per second of finished footage at approximately 151 credits per second at 720p. The exact cost is shown in-app before you confirm; typical videos cost roughly 3,600–12,000 credits.
An optional 1080p HD upscale at Publish costs 19 credits per second (9:16 / 16:9) or 11 credits per second (1:1), billed only for the scenes that need upscaling. See Story Video credits and costs for full details.
Free (0 credits)
Action | Notes |
|---|---|
Your first two comic renders | Once per account, for life. A render is your cover or a page, whichever comes first — so a first comic usually gets a free cover and a free page 1. Counts initial generation and regeneration alike, on top of your 100 free credits. A free render that fails isn't counted |
Create a series | All series-level setup is free |
Create an issue | The issue itself is free; pages cost 50 each |
Edit dialogue / narration text | Always free; text is overlay, not burned into image |
Image fix ("Fix Errors") — first 2 fixes per page | Free; "Fix Errors" always regenerates the whole page |
Add character or asset assignments to a panel | Free — assigning an already-defined character/asset to a panel doesn't cost anything by itself; only generating the panel/page image does |
Publish an issue | Free |
Republish an issue | Free |
Translate an issue's metadata (title, synopsis) | Free; AI text translation, not image |
Use the flipbook reader | Free |
Browse the gallery | Free |
Set up a storefront | Free; revenue split kicks in at the sale, not setup |
Quick rule of thumb
If it generates an image with characters and a story (page, panel, cover, page translation), it costs 50 credits. If it generates a single-subject reference image (a character portrait, an asset, a world, a title image), it costs a flat 10 credits — every time, including regenerations. If it's not image generation at all (text editing, publishing, assigning an existing character to a panel), it's free.
Edge cases
- Failed generation: refunded automatically. You're never charged for an image that didn't generate.
- Translating to multiple languages: each language is a separate generation at 50 credits per page/cover. Three pages × four languages = 3 × 4 × 50 = 600 credits.
- Quick comic on
/quick(anonymous): doesn't deduct credits; it's free for the visitor and rate-limited instead.
