SoulGen review
A web-based image and video creator with character tools and a credit-limited PRO plan.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SoulGen brings image generation, editing, outpainting, video creation, and character interaction into a web-based service. It is aimed at people who want to create realistic portraits or anime-style characters, work from text or reference images, and continue into interactive character experiences through SoulChat. Its mix of image and video tools makes it relevant to creators looking beyond prompt-to-image generation, while the character features give it a particular focus for users building or exploring character imagery.
The feature set covers several stages of image work: users can generate from text, use reference content for image-to-image generation, and add, remove, or transform elements with AI editing. Outpainting extends scenes, while AI video generation offers a separate output type. AI character creation and SoulChat connect image-making with character interaction. This breadth suits users who value those connected creative options; someone seeking only a narrowly focused image generator may not need the character and video capabilities.
SoulGen has a free plan, and the published positioning describes free access to text and reference generation, editing, outpainting, character creation, video, and character interaction. The PRO plan is $12.99 per month when billed monthly and includes 100 credits per month, blur removal, priority queue, multitask access, and image editing. That credit allowance is a meaningful constraint for users with sustained generation needs. The current Terms of Service restrict use to personal purposes, so SoulGen is not a fit for commercial work. It is web-only, making it a better choice for users comfortable with browser access than for those who need a different platform.
