HackAIGC Credit System Explained: AI Image and Video Generation Costs Guide

Elizabeth Rowan Carteron 6 hours ago

As AI generation becomes more advanced, different models require different amounts of computing resources. HackAIGC uses a Credit-based system to make AI image and video generation usage transparent and easy to understand.

This guide explains how HackAIGC Credits work, what factors affect Credit consumption, and how much each AI model costs.

Whether you are creating AI images, editing photos, generating AI videos, or extending existing videos, this guide will help you understand the expected Credit usage before generation.

What Are HackAIGC Credits?

Credits are the usage units required to generate AI images and videos on HackAIGC.

Each AI model has different Credit requirements based on:

  • Model complexity

  • Image resolution

  • Video resolution

  • Video duration

  • Audio settings

  • Generation quantity

Before generating content, HackAIGC displays the estimated Credit cost. Final Credit usage is calculated based on the actual completed generation result.

HackAIGC Credit Pricing Rules

Image Generation Credit Formula

For AI image generation, Credit usage depends on:

Credits =
Base Model Cost × Resolution Multiplier × Image Quantity

The factors affecting image Credit consumption are:

1. AI Model

Different image models have different starting Credit costs.

Higher-quality models require more computational resources and therefore consume more Credits.

2. Image Resolution

Higher resolution images require more processing power.

For example:

  • 512p images use fewer Credits

  • 4K images require more Credits

3. Number of Images

HackAIGC supports generating up to 4 images per request.

Credit usage increases proportionally based on the number of generated images.

Example:

If one image costs 10 Credits, generating four images will cost approximately 40 Credits.

Video Generation Credit Formula

For AI video generation, Credit usage depends on:

Credits =
Base Model Cost × Resolution Multiplier × Duration Multiplier × Audio Multiplier × Video Quantity

The factors affecting video Credit consumption are:

Video Resolution

Higher resolutions require more GPU resources.

Supported resolutions include:

  • 720p

  • 1080p

  • 2K

  • 4K (available on selected models)

Video Duration

Longer videos require more processing time.

Supported durations vary by model:

  • 5 seconds

  • 10 seconds

  • 12 seconds

  • 15 seconds

Audio Settings

Some AI video models support audio generation.

Depending on the model:

  • Enabling audio may increase Credit usage

  • Some models include audio without additional Credit cost

Video Quantity

HackAIGC supports generating up to 4 videos per request.

Credit usage increases based on the number of videos generated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does aspect ratio affect Credit usage?

No.

Changing aspect ratio only changes the output format and does not affect Credit consumption.

Why does higher resolution cost more Credits?

Higher-resolution images and videos require more GPU processing power, resulting in higher Credit usage.

Why do longer videos consume more Credits?

Longer videos contain more frames and require more computation time.

Does generating multiple images or videos cost more?

Yes.

Credit usage increases based on the number of generated results.

Does audio increase video Credit usage?

It depends on the model.

Some models charge additional Credits for audio generation, while others include audio without extra cost.
