NovelAI Diffusion
NovelAI Diffusion generates anime-style images from text prompts, with tools for characters, scenes, transparency, text, and comic pages.
NovelAI Diffusion is a web-based image generator focused on anime and furry artwork. Users describe images with natural-language prompts or tags, then refine results with character positioning, inpainting, canvas tools, and upscaling.
The current model is NovelAI Diffusion V5, available in Curated and Full versions. The service offers a free trial, while subscriptions provide Image Anlas and different generation allowances; some V5 Opus usage is limited and extra Anlas costs more.
