What is a Master Image?
A master image (or origin image) is the image used to generate the derivative image. You can request as many versions of the same master image as you want.
Will I be charged by number of requests?
No. Requests are unlimited. It doesn't matter if you have 10 images with 1 million views each. Price won't change.
Does usage reset every month?
Yes. Every billing period we start counting the master images that are being used again. So if an image isn't requested next month, it won't be charged.
If I have 100K Master Images will I be charged by the same images every month?
You only pay for active master images. Only those requested by your end customers count toward usage. What matters is how many images are active, not how many you have in storage.
Is there a monthly minimum fee?
The minimum is $5.00 to keep your account active and it includes 4200 master images and 5GB of data free data transfer. Free data transfer grows along with the amount of master images you used during the period.
Elastic bandwidth?
The amount of bandwidth you get for free grows with the number of master images you have. It starts at 5GB, then adds 1.2GB for every 1,000 master images.
The excess will be charged at $0.10 per GB.
Example 1: 30K master images will give you 36GB of bandwidth. If you consume 40GB of data transfer, you will be charged for 6GB × $0.10 = $0.60.
Example 2: 100K master images will give you 120GB of bandwidth. If you consume 120GB of data transfer, no extra charges will be made.
