Overview
SoulGen AI is an AI-powered image and video generation platform designed to turn text prompts and reference images into visual content. It supports realistic and anime-style image creation and has expanded into AI video generation, image editing, outpainting, character creation, and related creative tools. The platform is designed for users who want to create visual content without advanced design skills.
I tested SoulGen AI’s image-generation workflow on an iPad, starting by selecting a visual style and entering a descriptive prompt. The testing covered the process of creating an image, reviewing the generated result, and exploring the available creative controls. I also explored the image-editing workflow, including refining an image with additional prompts and using reference imagery.
The hands-on walkthrough also covered SoulGen’s outpainting capability, which allows an existing image to be expanded beyond its original frame. I explored the video-generation workflow as well, selecting an image and supplying a prompt to turn the still image into an animated video. The current platform continues to offer image-to-video and text-to-video workflows.
SoulGen AI can be useful for character designers, visual storytellers, visual-novel creators, social media creators, and people experimenting with AI-generated artwork. Its combination of image generation, editing, character tools, and video generation makes it more versatile than a basic text-to-image generator.
The current SoulGen platform also provides AI Character, Smart Edit, Classic Edit, Human Modeling, Image to Video, Video Extend, Reference to Video, and Text to Video tools. These additional capabilities should be evaluated separately if they are central to your workflow.
Pricing & Plans
SoulGen offers free access for trying the service, with generation requiring credits. Its current Pro subscription terms list $12.99 per month and state that Pro includes 100 credits per month, removal of blur, priority queue access, multitasking, and other premium capabilities. Current credit consumption varies significantly by feature and model. For example, the official pricing page lists different credit requirements for image-to-video, text-to-video, Smart Edit, Classic Edit, AI Character, and Soul Chat. Video costs also vary according to model, resolution, duration, and whether audio is enabled.
