Overview
SoulGen is a web platform built around AI video generation: image-to-video, text-to-video, reference-to-video, video extension and video editing, with optional sound, 720p or 1080p output and talking characters with lip-sync. It also makes character images in Real, Anime and DreamTwin styles, with a 'Looks Like' option that draws a character resembling the face in a reference photo you upload.
Other tools include prompt-based image editing (Smart Edit and Classic Edit), outpainting to extend a picture, a human-modelling tool and Soul Chat, where you design an AI 'soulmate' with its own look and personality, then chat by text or voice and ask for images. Every tool is priced in credits, and an API centre offers docs and separate API pricing.
The site presents SoulGen mainly as a video and image creation tool, though the Soul Chat page promises personalised, 'intimate' conversations. The terms of service ban uploading pornographic, obscene or indecent content, and the pages we read don't advertise an adult mode. The terms say the service is run from Hong Kong.

Watch out for
- −The pricing page frames its up-to-42% discount as a first-purchase, today-only offer, and it doesn't say what the 12-month plan costs when it renews.
- −Video costs far more credits than images: image- or text-to-video is 10 to 40 credits per 5 seconds depending on model and resolution (2 more per 5 seconds with audio on the SoulGen 2.0 and 3.0 models), reference videos add an upload charge and video editing is billed per second. At those rates, Pro's 100 monthly credits cover at most about 50 seconds of video.
- −Plans renew until you cancel, which the terms say you do in PayPal or by request through the feedback form. The return policy says it will usually refund only your latest subscription payment, if you apply within 14 days and haven't used credits or made images, and the terms warn that asking for a refund after creating an image leads to a dispute and a permanent ban.
- −'Looks Like' builds a character from a face in an uploaded photo, Soul Chat lets you upload a face for a soulmate, a separate Face Swap page (not in the main menu) describes swapping faces in uploaded videos or images, and the editing and image-to-video tools work on pictures you upload. Creating or sharing sexual images of a real person without their consent is illegal in many countries (for example under the US TAKE IT DOWN Act and the UK Online Safety Act) and can cause serious harm, so only use images you own and that show consenting adults.
Before you sign up
- ✓Confirm the official domain for SoulGen at checkout — typosquat landing pages are common in this niche and can redirect a card payment in seconds.
- ✓Read the privacy policy specifically for how chats, images, and account data are retained, exported, and deleted before you share anything sensitive.
- ✓Check the per-day or per-month image-generation cap on each tier and whether upscaling / private generations are gated to the top plan.
- ✓Test voice latency and accent quality in the free or entry tier; voice minutes are usually the first thing throttled on cheaper plans.
