Pricing
$0.06 per megapixel (input + output combined)
A standard 1024×1024 image ≈ 1MP = ~$0.06. A 1920×1080 image ≈ 2MP = ~$0.12.
Best For
- Typography-driven creatives where the headline IS the visual
- Ads requiring complex text layout (multiple lines, mixed sizes)
- Multi-reference compositions (logo + product + background reference in one request)
- Fine detail work
Notes
- The megapixel pricing model rewards smaller output sizes — use 1K for drafts, scale up for finals
- Multi-reference input is a unique strength — pass logo, product photo, and style reference simultaneously
