Pika Credits: What They Are and How They Work

Pika Labs uses a credit-based system for all video generations. Each action - from a Turbo image-to-video generation to a Pro-level Pikatwist - costs a specific number of credits depending on:

Model used
Duration
Resolution
Tool (Pikatwists, Pikadditions, Pikaffects, etc.)
