Bill clients for logo, photo and headshot jobs
Turn small image fixes into billable line items. See the credit cost before you run a job, then put it on the invoice next to your time.
Short answer
Run the image job in ZELF, where the credit cost shows before you start, then pull it onto the client's invoice with Add client jobs. Jobs come in at R1 per credit, which you can change before you issue, and your design time goes on its own line. A run that fails is refunded automatically.
Clients send small, urgent image jobs: a logo too small for the signage, an old photo for an anniversary post, a headshot for a new team member. They are quick to do and easy to forget to bill.
Every image job in ZELF shows its credit cost before you run it, and every run lands in your wallet history with the date and amount. That gives you a clean line item for each job.
How to turn an image job into an invoice line
- 1 Open the tool the job needs: Upscale for small logos and photos, Restore for damaged prints, Profile Picture for headshots.
- 2 Pick the client's Zelf, upload their file and choose your options. The cost updates before you run, so you know it upfront.
- 3 Run the job and download the result. If processing fails, the credits go straight back to your wallet.
- 4 At month end, open Invoices, start one for that client and use Add client jobs. Every job you have not billed yet drops in as a line, next to your own time.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know what to charge?
Client jobs come onto the invoice at R1 per credit, which you can change before you issue it. Charge your time on its own line. How much you mark up is your call.
What if the result is not right?
Run it again with different options or a different photo. Each run is charged separately, and a run that fails is refunded automatically.
Do credits expire between client jobs?
No. Credits never expire, so a quiet month costs you nothing.
