What is NovelAI?
AI storytelling and anime art.
Who is NovelAI best for?
NovelAI is best for anime art fans and fiction writers who want image generation and story co-writing in one place.
Anime-style art
NovelAI Diffusion V5 draws anime characters and scenes from a prompt, with inpainting and Director Tools to change poses, clothing or lighting afterwards.
Co-writing long fiction
Its story editor writes alongside you rather than for you, and Opus keeps about 114,688 characters of the story in memory.
Private creative work
NovelAI encrypts prompts and does not keep generated images on its servers unless you save them.
Art you plan to sell
Generated images can be used commercially on any plan, with no extra licence tier to buy.
