TL;DR - Points at a Glance

  • • Points are the currency for generating images and videos
  • • Different models cost different amounts (50-8000 points)
  • • Subscribe for monthly points (Basic €10, Pro €20, Ultra €40)
  • • Subscribers can buy top-up packs for extra points

How Points Work

Points are the currency you use to generate images on PinkNinjasART. Every time you create an image, points are deducted from your balance based on which AI model you use.

Key things to know:

  • Points never expire — use them whenever you're ready
  • Different models, different costs — faster/simpler models cost less
  • Balance is shown in header — always visible so you can track usage
  • Points are deducted on generation — not when you save or download
  • Failed generations are refunded — if generation fails, you usually get your points back automatically

Model Cost Breakdown

Each AI model has different capabilities and generation times, reflected in their point costs:

Maximizing Your Points

1. Start with Fast Mode

Use Imagen 4.0 Fast (50 pts) to test prompts and concepts. Once you're happy with the direction, upgrade to Standard or Ultra for higher quality.

2. Write Detailed Prompts

Better prompts mean fewer iterations needed. Describe style, lighting, composition, and mood to get closer to your vision on the first try.

3. Use Iterate Mode Wisely

When you're close to your perfect image, use Iterate Mode to make small refinements rather than starting from scratch.

4. Save Favorites for Reference

Instead of regenerating similar images, save ones you like to Favorites and use them as reference images for new generations.
