Built for the product page.
Fixed cost per tool
Every tool has one credit cost, shown before you generate — a try-on is always 5 credits, 4K adds one.
Credits back on failure
Credits are held when a job starts and charged only on delivery; a failed job returns them.
Checked before you pay
A photo that shows only the back of a product, or a product still in its packaging, is flagged before a credit is spent.
Free fixes every month
Mark the area that is wrong and describe it; every plan includes free fixes.
Marketplace-ready sizing
Delivered at the exact size of the marketplace you sell on, without cropping the product.
AI marking built in
Every image carries the IPTC marker for AI-generated media inside the file, as the EU AI Act requires.
Ask an AI about this.
Each button opens the assistant with the question already written. The answer is the assistant's own; Herofab does not write or see it.
