Credits per image
Each image is priced by the resolution tier you select, including Auto, rather than its actual output dimensions. Reference uploads cost no extra. Quality is selected automatically.
| Resolution | Beta price | Planned regular price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard · about 1 MP (1024×1024) | 1 credits | 3 credits |
| Auto · model-selected dimensions | 2 credits | 5 credits |
| High · about 3.7 MP (2560×1440) | 3 credits | 6 credits |
| Maximum · about 8.3 MP (3840×2160, experimental) | 4 credits | 10 credits |
We will announce regular prices here and by email at least 14 days in advance. Existing credit quantities will not decrease. If you decline the new price, you may request a refund of unused paid credits.
Private library storage
Original images and uploaded references count toward storage; thumbnails do not. At roughly 3 / 6 / 12 MB per Standard / High / Maximum image, 100 MB stores about 33 / 16 / 8 images; 1 GB stores 341 / 170 / 85; 5 GB stores 1,706 / 853 / 426. Actual file sizes vary. Storage uses the highest applicable plan and does not stack. After a subscription ends, capacity returns to 1 GB if you bought a starter pack, or 100 MB otherwise. Over-quota images remain viewable, downloadable and deletable, but new images cannot be saved until space is available. Automatic deletion of the oldest generated images is off by default; you can enable it in the library. It permanently removes old generated images before saving a new one, keeping conversation text and reference uploads. Any future cleanup of persistently over-quota accounts will be announced by email at least 30 days in advance.
Reserved first. Charged on success.
Credits are reserved on submission; insufficient balance stops the task before generation. Successfully generated and saved images are settled individually. Confirmed generation failures and rejected safety checks return the reserved credits. An unknown result remains reserved until it can be checked. Credits with the earliest expiry are spent first; non-expiring credits are spent last.
Payments, subscriptions and refunds
Dodo Payments is the Merchant of Record: it collects payment, handles applicable sales tax or VAT and issues receipts. Its merchant name may appear on your bank statement. Lightlyn does not receive or store your card number. Subscriptions renew monthly on the billing date. Cancel through Account & settings → Usage & billing or your Dodo email; cancellation stops future renewals, with current-period credits and storage retained until the period ends.
A starter pack can be fully refunded within 14 days if none of its credits were used; afterwards unused paid credits may be refunded proportionally. A subscription payment or renewal can be refunded within 14 days if none of that period’s credits were used. See the refund policy for full terms. Refund policy (Chinese)

Daily check-in and credit rules
Check in once per UTC day for 3 credits, valid for 30 days. Credits belong to your Lightlyn account, cannot be transferred, sold or exchanged for cash, and can be used by Lightlyn services that accept them. Each service publishes its own rates; Lightlyn Images currently accepts credits.
Daily new gifts across the service are capped at 3,000 credits, resetting at 00:00 UTC. A confirmed email and human verification are required; availability is first come, first served. One email and its linked accounts share one daily claim; one browser may claim for at most 3 independent beneficiaries per day. Unusual claim and generation rates are limited. The cap does not remove existing credits. For eligibility issues, contact help@lightlyn.com.
