About Render credits
Robolly uses a render credit system to represent how many images, PDFs, and/or videos you can generate from your templates each month. In this section, you can learn more about how render credits work, how much different file formats consume, what to do if you need more credits to render your images, PDFs, and videos, and more.
What are Render credits?
Render credits represent how many images, PDFs, and/or videos you're able to generate based on your templates per month. The render quota depends on the plan you’re on. In your Robolly dashboard, you can see how many Render credits you used in a given period and when the quota will restart.
How are the render credits counted?
The Render credits are used only for the first render of a unique image (or PDF/video). After the image is rendered, Robolly will save it for you, so if you need to re-render the same image with the same modifications in the future, you’ll receive it without any additional cost. Images are saved this way for 45 days.
How much does it cost to render different file types?
Render costs are determined based on the amount of computing resources required for the rendering process.
Generally, 1 image = 1 Render credit.
Other types of files, that require more resources for rendering use more Render credits. Check the table below for more details about how many Render credits different files use.
