FAQ

Do reference images override the prompt?

No. The model reads the references and the prompt together, so state clearly what to keep and what to change.

Why isn't every image preserved exactly?

Generation models re-interpret the scene and do not guarantee a pixel-level copy. Identity, logos and precise structure need targeted tests.

Are credits charged when an upload fails?

Uploading a reference costs no generation credits; charges and refunds follow the generation task status and the credit rules.
