Data processing

You pay to use features such as image processing and advanced image compression. This topic explains how you are charged for data processing.

warning

Charges apply only to successful operations, including image processing, advanced image compression and snapshot. Failed operations are not billed.

Using the image processing service incurs fees for image processing, requests, and data transfer.

Request fees are calculated based on the number of GetObject requests initiated. Each image processing operation initiates one such request.

The cost of outbound traffic over the public network is calculated based on the size of the processed image.

For more information on request pricing and data transfer pricing, see Requests and Data transfer.

Billable item	Description	Unit price	Formula	Billing cycle
Image processing	You can process up to 10 TiB of images for free every month. Any overage will be billed based on the original image size. tip This billable item does not include advanced image compression. Image processing is billed based on the original image size, not the number of requests.	Free Tier: First 10 TiB monthly Overage: ¥0.025 per GiB beyond 10 TiB	Image processing cost (> 10 TiB) = (Total processed - 10 TiB) × Unit price	Billed hourly
Advanced image compression (HEIF)	You are charged based on the number of operations. Billing varies by image resolution. tip Resolution tiers apply to the image's actual dimensions when advanced compression is performed. For example, when both resizing and advanced compression are applied, the billing is calculated based on the dimensions of the resized image. Low: < 800 × 600 px Medium: 800 × 600 px (inclusive) - 4096 × 4096 px (inclusive)	Low: ¥0.025 per 1,000 operations Medium: ¥0.1 per 1,000 operations	Advanced image compression cost = Unit price × Number of operations ÷ 1,000	Billed hourly
Snapshot	You are charged based on the number of operations. Currently, fees for retrieving video metadata are billed under the "snapshot" item.	¥0.1 per 1,000 operations	Snapshot cost = Number of operations x Unit price ÷ 1,000	Billed hourly
Inspection	You are charged based on the number of operations. tip You will only pay for successful API calls used to inspect abnormal images. There are no charges for failed calls. Billing is not affected by inspection results.	¥0.1 per 1,000 operations	Inspection cost = Number of operations x Unit price ÷ 1,000	Billed hourly
Object monitoring in Intelligent Tiering	Intelligent Tiering automatically monitors access to objects, which incurs charges. tip Objects smaller than 64 KiB are exempt from these charges.	¥0.175 per 10,000 objects per month	Object monitoring cost = Number of monitored objects × Per-object hourly rate	Billed hourly
File decompression	You are charged based on the size of the decompressed files.	¥0.05 per GiB	File decompression cost = Decompressed file size (GiB) × Unit price	Billed hourly
Multi-file compression	You are charged based on the size of the files before compression.	¥0.05 per GiB	Multi-file compression cost = Total original file size (GiB) × Unit price	Billed hourly
Video transcoding	You are charged based on the length of the video output. The cost varies depending on the encoding format and output resolution. tip Billing is determined by output video resolution according to the following specifications. For example, HD (1280×720) output falls under the SD output tier if the long edge (width) is ≤1280 and the short edge (height) is ≤720. However, if either the long edge exceeds 1280 or the short edge exceeds 720, the output belongs to a higher resolution tier. The resolution specifications and their corresponding long-edge/short-edge limits are as follows: SD: 640 x 480 HD: 1280 x 720 FHD: 1920 x 1080 2K: 2560 x 1440 4K: 3840 x 2160	Currently free of charge. We will notify you of the charging schedule at a later time.	Video transcoding cost = Video output minutes (rounded up to the nearest minute) × Price per minute	Billed hourly
Audio transcoding	You are charged based on the length of the audio output.	Currently free of charge. We will notify you of the charging schedule at a later time.	Audio transcoding cost = Audio output minutes (rounded up to the nearest minute) × Price per minute	Billed hourly
Extracting metadata from AIGC audio and video	You are charged based on the number of API requests.	Currently free of charge. We will notify you of the charging schedule at a later time.	Metadata extraction cost = Number of operations x Unit price ÷ 1,000	Billed hourly
