Info : You have a different bandwidth limit on each subscription plan. The more your images are viewed, the more bandwidth you will consume.
Host your images generated via abyssale directly on the platform and use them wherever you want without having to download them.

Note : Each viewing of the image on a page consumes bandwidth. The consumption depends on the weight of the image. The heavier it is, the more bandwidth is consumed during viewing.
How bandwidth works
Each image displayed on a website consumes bandwidth because, in order for the image to be displayed on your screen, your computer has sent a request to the server where the image is located to ask for the image information.
Quite simple in fact 😊
The data that is transferred between the server and the visitor's computer is called bandwidth, which is the amount of data transferred. At Abyssale, we host your images on our platform when you link to an image and use it. We provide 2 types of links:
One that allows you to download the image
The other (the hosting link) that is designed for low latency and high transfer speeds (for instance, you can host images on your website)
This last type of link costs money to transfer the data. That's why we are forced to impose a bandwidth limit for each workspace according to its subscription plan.
How to Calculate Your Bandwidth Usage
Understanding your bandwidth consumption is essential for managing your Abyssale subscription effectively. Here's how you can estimate the bandwidth that will be used when displaying your images.
Bandwidth Usage Formula
The formula for calculating bandwidth usage is:
Total Bandwidth = Image File Size × Number of Views
For example:
A 500KB image viewed 1,000 times would consume approximately 500MB of bandwidth
A 2MB image viewed 1,000 times would consume approximately 2GB of bandwidth
Estimating Your Monthly Bandwidth Needs
To estimate your monthly bandwidth requirements:
Determine average image size: Check the typical file size of your generated visuals (visible in the Generated Visuals section)
Estimate monthly views: Calculate how many times each image will be loaded across all platforms where it's used
Multiply: Image size × Estimated views = Estimated bandwidth usage
Bandwidth Usage Examples
Image Type | Average Size | Monthly Views | Monthly Bandwith |
Social Media Banner | 200KB | 10,000 | 2GB |
Product Image | 500KB | 5,000 | 2.5GB |
High-Res Banner | 2MB | 1,000 | 2GB |
Tips to Optimize Bandwidth Usage
Use appropriate image sizes: Don't use larger images than necessary for your display needs
Enable image compression: When generating visuals, optimize for web to reduce file size
Implement lazy loading: If using images on websites, consider lazy loading techniques to only load images when they're visible to users
Monitor usage patterns: Regularly check your bandwidth consumption in the Monitor page to identify trends and adjust your strategy
How can I see my bandwidth consumption ?
Head to the Monitor page, you will find your bandwith consumption for the current billing month.
I consumed all my bandwith what will happen to my images hosted on abyssale?
Your images will no longer be visible in the various places where you have posted them. Instead, you will see a small icon indicating that there are no images.
Tips : Don't waste time and upgrade your subscription to increase your monthly bandwith limit to fix this problem.
What Happens to Your Hosted Images When You Cancel Your Subscription
When you cancel your Abyssale subscription, it's important to understand how this affects the images hosted on our servers. All images hosted through Abyssale (including CDN URLs, S3 URLs, and Dynamic image URLs) will become inaccessible once your subscription ends.
Important considerations:
All hosted images will no longer be available after subscription cancellation
Any websites, campaigns, or marketing materials using these image links will display nothing or broken image placeholders
There is no grace period for image accessibility after cancellation
Recommended actions before cancellation:
We strongly advise customers to download all their visuals and host them on their own servers before canceling their Abyssale subscription. This ensures continuity for any marketing materials, websites, or campaigns where these images are being used.
By taking this proactive step, you can avoid disruption to your digital assets and maintain a seamless experience for your audience even after your Abyssale subscription has ended.
