API Pricing

HitPaw API is a credit-based system. Our professional APIs—Video Enhancement, Image Enhancement, and Image Segmentation—are billed based on the media processing load or a flat rate per task.

1. Video Enhancement Pricing

Video processing is billed per second of output video. The rate is determined by the output resolution and the frame rate (FPS).
