Frequently asked questions
Is a 4K image always worth the extra cost?
No. Generate and approve composition at 1K or 2K, then use 4K only for final assets that genuinely need the resolution.
Why is my product cost higher than the API output price?
A product also pays for input tokens, failed jobs, free usage, storage, CDN, payment fees, refunds, and support.
How do NanoCloud credits relate to API dollars?
Credits simplify access inside the product. Their value also covers workflow, infrastructure, failures, and service overhead, not only raw output.
