About Render credits
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 the unique image (or PDF/video). After the image is rendered, Robolly will save it for you and deliver it via global CDN (= Content Delivery Network). We provide you with the CDN service free of charge. So, when you need to re-render the same image with the same modifications in the future, you’ll get your image instantly and without any additional cost.
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.
