Overview
Civitai provides a platform for discovering and sharing generative-AI models and related creator content.
Following a major structural update, Civitai now operates through two separate domains. Civitai.com is designed as a Safe-For-Work environment, providing a cleaner browsing experience without mature content. Civitai.red provides access to the platform’s wider catalog, including content and models classified as Not-Safe-For-Work.
According to the platform update reviewed by Henry, this separation was introduced partly to address payment-processing requirements while allowing Civitai’s SFW services, creator program, and membership operations to continue more reliably.
Existing accounts work across both domains, so users do not need to create a separate account for each website.
