## Credit Usage

- Removing or editing a background **within the editor** consumes **3 credits per image**.
- **Removing the background directly from stock images** does **not use credits**, but it **counts toward your daily download limit**.
- Transparent PNGs and custom AI-generated backgrounds are available to all users, but **Premium users** have higher daily limits.
