Vastralook has three order modes. Instant is the fastest (1–2 min), Standard is the lowest price and includes a free Recreate on every shot (3–4 min, 2K only), and Budget costs less than Instant but takes longer (5–10 min). Pick by how soon you need the pictures.

All three modes work the same way in the studio. You build a batch, check the summary, choose a mode and place the order. The order is paid once, up front, and the shots appear in your Orders tab as they finish.
Instant: when time matters
Instant starts your shots right away and they are usually ready in 1–2 min. It offers 1K, 2K and 4K, so it is the mode to use for a 4K close-up on a deadline. It costs the most per shot, and free credits cannot pay for it, so it needs paid credits in your account.
Budget: when you can wait
Budget costs less than Instant and takes longer, usually 5–10 min. It offers all three sizes. It is also the order mode that free welcome and referral credits can pay for, which makes it the natural way to try a first batch. It has no free Recreate.
Standard: the lowest price
Standard is the lowest price of the three and takes 3–4 min. It is 2K only for now, so the 1K and 4K buttons are off and show the reason when you hover. Every shot can be recreated once at no charge. For a full catalogue where 2K is enough, it is usually the best value.
How to choose
- Need it today, and fast?
Choose Instant. About 1–2 min, and the only mode that is fast at 4K.
- 2K is enough and you want the lowest price?
Choose Standard. About 3–4 min, plus one free Recreate per shot if the first result misses.
- Spending free credits, or you can wait?
Choose Budget. About 5–10 min, all three sizes, and free credits are accepted.
Free Recreate: what it covers
A Standard order includes one free Recreate for every shot. When a finished shot misses, open its menu and choose Recreate; while a free one is left, it shows a Free badge. On Instant and Budget orders, Recreate is not free. A shot that does not look right can also be sent back for half its credits, which our guide on asking for credits back explains.
What is the difference between Instant, Budget and Standard orders?
Time, sizes and price. Instant is ready in about 1–2 min, Standard in about 3–4 min (2K only, lowest price, one free Recreate per shot) and Budget in about 5–10 min (costs less than Instant).
Which Vastralook order mode is cheapest?
Standard has the lowest price per shot, and it is 2K only. Budget costs less than Instant. The exact price for your size shows on each button before you pay.
Which order mode is fastest?
Instant, usually 1–2 min.
Can I use my free credits on a Standard order?
Not on their own. Standard needs paid credits in the account. Free welcome and referral credits can pay for Budget orders. If your account has paid credits too, free credits are used first.
Can I order 4K on a Standard order?
No. Standard is made at 2K only for now, and the 1K and 4K buttons are off. Use Instant or Budget for 1K or 4K.
What is a free Recreate?
Every shot on a Standard order can be recreated once at no charge. The Recreate menu item shows a Free badge while one is left.
How long does an order take?
Instant about 1–2 min, Standard about 3–4 min and Budget about 5–10 min. These are the usual times shown in the studio.
