How do Lume credits work?
Understanding credit allocation, reset schedules, and usage
Quick Answer
Each photo generation consumes one credit. You get 5 free credits when you sign up (one-time). Paid plans include monthly product photos: Pro (up to 60), Business (up to 240), Growth (up to 420), Studio (up to 720). All paid plans include credit protections-get your credit back if you're not happy with a result. Paid plan credits reset at the start of your billing cycle. Unused monthly credits do not roll over.

How Credits Are Used
1 Generation = 1 Credit
Each time you generate a product photo, it consumes 1 credit. This applies regardless of the scene type, props used, or export format.
Choose the Right Template First
Take time to pick the template that best matches the look you want before generating. Each new generation uses 1 credit, so choosing the right scene up front helps you get the perfect shot.
Credit Reset Schedule
Monthly Reset on Billing Anniversary
Your credits reset on the same day each month that you subscribed. For example:
You can view your next reset date in your account settings under Subscription.
Rollover & Expiration Policy
⚠️ Monthly Credits Do NOT Roll Over
Paid plan credits (Pro: 60, Business: 240, Growth: 420, Studio: 720) reset each billing cycle. Unused credits from the previous month are not carried forward. Signup credits are one-time and do not reset.
