Quick answers

Pricing questions.

Do credits expire?

Never. Buy a pack today and use it a year from now — your credits will still be there. No pressure, no deadlines.

Is there a subscription or monthly fee?

No. MetaMagic is 100% pay-as-you-go. You only spend credits when you generate metadata. Nothing is charged automatically.

What exactly is 1 credit?

1 credit = 1 photo generation. Each generation writes keywords, a title, and a caption into all three IPTC fields simultaneously.

Can I buy more credits anytime?

Yes. Go to the Buy Credits page, enter your Customer Code, pick a pack, and pay via Stripe. Credits are added instantly.

What payment methods are accepted?

All major credit and debit cards via Stripe. Payments are secure and encrypted — MetaMagic never stores your card details.

I already have credits. How do I check my balance?

Go to Buy Credits, enter your Customer Code in the "Check Balance" field, and click Check Balance.
