NovelAI

NovelAI is a browser-based AI tool that combines two workflows: writing assistance for stories and an image generator focused on anime-style illustrations. The interface is in English and requires an account to use. There’s no dedicated Android or iOS app.

Anime-style image generation

You can generate images from text prompts or tag-based descriptions, with controls for character appearance, background, style, and emotions. It also supports multi-character scenes with composition and positioning options.

Key image features include:

• Multi-character scene generation and composition controls
• Vibe Transfer for carrying a style from one image to another
• Editing tools such as background removal and other refinement filters

Writing assistant for fiction

NovelAI’s writing tool helps draft and continue stories, dialogue, and genre scenes (including fantasy and romance). You can define genre, setting, narrative style, and characters, then steer the output with your prompts. The editor is designed for long-form writing, with a dark theme and progress saving.

Pricing and access

NovelAI does not offer a free plan. Image generation is available via subscription or by purchasing Anlas (the platform’s internal currency). Subscriptions start at $10/month, with higher tiers offering more features and bonuses.
