Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & Costs
What API keys do I need?
OpenAI = REQUIRED | Cloudinary = OPTIONAL
OpenAI API (Required): For keyword extraction & DALL-E generation. New accounts get $5 in free credits — create ~125-150 standard images or ~40 large HD images free. After that, as low as $0.03 per standard image.
Cloudinary (Optional): Only needed if you want to SAVE & VIEW images. Free tier includes 25GB storage — holds ~30,000 standard images or 8,000-13,000 HD images. Keyword extraction works WITHOUT Cloudinary.
Is there a subscription or monthly fee?
No! The platform is completely free to use. You only pay OpenAI directly for keyword extraction (Cloudinary is optional, only if you want to save images). There are no subscriptions, no monthly fees, and no platform charges. Browse the community gallery for free, and only pay when you create your own content.
Technical Questions
Where are my images stored (and is Cloudinary required)?
Cloudinary is OPTIONAL — keyword extraction works WITHOUT it! You only need Cloudinary if you want to save and view images later.
Without Cloudinary: Upload images → extract keywords → see results (images not saved)
With Cloudinary: Images saved to YOUR account, view anytime, persistent gallery.
Hydra-Pix stores Guardian keywords and prompts in our database. If you use Cloudinary, image files live in your account (not ours).
Why Cloudinary?
- •You own your data — complete control, no vendor lock-in
- •Free tier — 25GB holds ~30,000 standard or 8,000-13,000 HD images
- •Platform stays free — we don't pay for your storage
- •Privacy — your images never touch our servers
- •Access anywhere — use images outside Hydra-Pix anytime
- •Community gallery — everyone can see all images for discovery & inspiration
How do I manage my Cloudinary storage?
All images auto-save to YOUR Cloudinary — uploads and DALL-E generations are saved automatically. You delete what you don't want, anytime.
Built-in storage dashboard shows your Cloudinary usage in real-time:
- •Live storage meter: "18.5 GB / 25 GB (74%)"
- •Alerts at 80% and 95% capacity
- •Image counter: "22,156 / 30,000 images"
- •Sort & filter: by size, date, views, or favorites
- •Delete anytime: select & bulk delete unwanted images
You're always in control. Auto-save means nothing gets lost, monitoring means no surprises, and you decide what to keep or delete.
How do galleries load so fast?
Cloudinary's magic! Your full-resolution images are stored once, but thumbnails are generated automatically on-the-fly:
- •Discovery gallery: 300x300px thumbnails (~15 KB each)
- •Image previews: 800x800px optimized versions
- •Full-res viewing: Original quality when you click
- •Auto-optimization: Best format (WebP, AVIF) per device
- •CDN delivery: Served from nearest global location
No extra storage needed! Thumbnails are generated dynamically — one full-res image stored, unlimited sizes served. Galleries load in milliseconds.
Can I use images I didn't create?
Yes! Upload any image — your own photos, AI-generated images, or community content. GPT-4o analyzes the image and generates a detailed prompt with extracted keywords, giving you organized keywords for your creative work.
However, you're responsible for respecting copyright and usage rights of source images. The platform is a tool for creative exploration, not a way to bypass image ownership.
Getting Started
I'm new to AI image generation. Is this for me?
Absolutely! The 🎮 Interactive Guardian Classification shows exactly how it works with real examples. The platform handles the complex keyword categorization automatically — the Guardians organize everything for you.
