Other tools include text-to-image generation with more than 50 styles, batch generation, image-to-video animation with HD output, sketch-to-art, character sheets, asset management, reusable comic presets, and custom LoRA training. Exports include PNG, JPEG, WebP, PSD, PDF, and ZIP. Image generation uses 5–100 credits depending on the model; unused subscription credits do not expire.

The service supports desktop devices only. Unpublished work is stored and processed online, and provider handling of data sent to AI services can vary by provider and configuration.
