Batch generation efficiency
- Prepare standardized assets: build a product image library, use consistent naming, and keep assets organized.
- Use templates: save frequently used settings, reuse successful cases, and apply templates in bulk.
- Schedule tasks wisely: batch-generate during off-peak hours, split large jobs into batches, and leave time for adjustments.
Credit optimization
- Prepare well: tune parameters before generating to avoid repeated spending.
- Be precise: the more precise the prompt, the higher the success rate.
- Reuse history: similar needs can borrow from past generations.
- Compare models: benchmark several models and pick the best value.
- Watch promotions: join platform events for extra credits.
