Alternatives

A NovelAI alternative for uncensored anime images that also turns them into video

NovelAI is a strong home for anime images and stories, with in-house diffusion models and an unusually private design: its terms say stored content is encrypted and requests are not logged without consent. Readers comparing alternatives usually want something NovelAI's documentation does not cover, such as video, a credit balance that needs no subscription, or a photo turned into anime. Vellria generates uncensored stills and clips under terms that allow fictional adult scenes, and it pairs two anime models with video families from several makers. It has no tie to NovelAI or to Anlatan, the company behind it; both names appear here only so the comparison is clear.

Free to start: a new account created with Google gets 20 free credits, valid for 7 days (about 10 images on Z-Image Turbo Uncensored), and every signed-in account gets free daily uses of the NSFW prompt generator and the image to prompt tool.

NovelAI NSFW: what the documents say and do not say

We read NovelAI's Terms of Service on 25 October 2026; they show an effective date of 8 December 2025. They require users to be 18 or older, describe your content as wholly yours, and state that Anlatan does not act as a publisher or platform for it. We found no clause in that document addressing sexual or explicit content either way, and this page draws no conclusion beyond that single document on that single day.

The model documentation adds one relevant hint. NovelAI describes V5 Curated as trained on a cleaner, more focused set of images and recommends it to anyone who wants to be extra sure no sensitive image appears by accident, while V5 Full draws on a broader, less curated dataset. How either behaves with a particular prompt was not tested here.

What NovelAI does better

Privacy is NovelAI's headline, and its terms back it up. Stored content is encrypted with a key derived from your login, requests are not logged without your explicit consent, and the homepage FAQ says generated images are not kept on its servers unless you save them. Vellria keeps your generations in your own private library so you can download them; nothing is published, and under our privacy policy prompts and outputs can be reviewed to prevent abuse.

NovelAI also trains its own models and keeps pushing them. Its documentation says V5 was trained in-house on 268,000 B200 GPU-hours, handles up to 22 distinct characters in one image, renders English, Japanese and Chinese text, supports transparent backgrounds and can lay out a full comic page in a single generation. The story side, with its lorebook and text adventure modes, has no counterpart here at all. If multi-character anime scenes or long-form writing are the core of your work, NovelAI is the better tool.

Anime models here, built differently

Vellria does not train models, and two catalog entries carry most of its anime work. Anime Pro Spicy is built on ByteDance's Seedream 5.0 Pro and adds a fixed anime treatment on our side, so a plain sentence comes back drawn rather than photographic. Its frames are larger and finished, and it can redraw a photograph in anime style with the subject still recognisable. Anima, released with open weights by CircleStone Labs, understands Danbooru-style tags the way NovelAI regulars write them and is the cheaper of the two.

Tags carry over well to Anima, while Anime Pro Spicy prefers a plain-language description of the scene. Neither matches V5's 22-character positioning or one-shot comic pages, and no output comparison with NovelAI was made for this page. Explicit illustration in particular is the subject of our AI hentai generator page.

Carrying a NovelAI prompt across

Plain Danbooru-style tags travel well: a prompt such as an adult character's hair, outfit, pose and setting written as comma-separated tags will read sensibly on Anima. What does not travel is the syntax specific to NovelAI's interface. Its documentation describes tag strengthening and weakening, separate character prompts for multi-character scenes, Vibe Transfer and Precise Reference; those are features of NovelAI's own tools, and the models here read neither the emphasis markup nor per-character boxes.

The practical move is to write the scene once in ordinary sentences for Anime Pro Spicy, keep the tag version for Anima, and compare. If you already have a NovelAI image you like, the free image to prompt tool reads it and writes a prompt you can edit, and the NSFW prompt generator expands a few words into a full description; signed-in accounts get daily uses of both.

The part NovelAI does not do: video

NovelAI's documentation is organised around image generation, image-to-image tools and story writing, with no section on video. On Vellria an anime still can become the opening frame of a clip. Wan 3.0 Spicy and its higher tier Wan 3.0 Pro Spicy are Alibaba's Wan 3.0 in configurations meant for explicit material; both start from a written scene or a still and can render with or without audio. Seedance 2.5 from ByteDance produced the most stable movement we saw.

Price depends on the length you choose and the model's rate per second, and it is displayed before the run begins. For the craft of it, from a still to a video goes through the workflow step by step, and the NSFW image to video page focuses on adult scenes.

Subscription or credits

NovelAI's homepage says its subscriptions start at a monthly price and that it is not a free image generator, while offering a trial and an on-demand purchase of Anlas, its image currency. Its model page notes that V5 is available on subscribing tiers and is the first model with a usage cap on free generations for Opus subscribers. Vellria's default is the other way round: a balance you top up in advance through the hosted checkout our payment partner runs, drawn down one run at a time, with nothing renewing unless you choose the Starter or Pro plan.

Free to start: a new account created with Google gets 20 free credits, valid for 7 days (about 10 images on Z-Image Turbo Uncensored), and every signed-in account gets free daily uses of the NSFW prompt generator and the image to prompt tool. If a run fails at the provider, its credits return to the balance by themselves. Packages are on pricing.

Calling the models from code

NovelAI publishes API references of its own, and this page does not compare the two. Here, keys are created in the console by any account and travel in the Authorization header. You post the anime model's id with a prompt, get back a job id, and ask about that job until the picture or clip exists; both are billed to the balance the Studio uses. The NSFW image API has a worked example, and field-by-field detail is in the reference.

Try it with a ready prompt

Each prompt opens in Studio with the text already in the box and the model selected; change anything you like before you run it.

  • Image prompt

    adult woman, long black hair, red qipao with high slit, sitting on a lantern-lit veranda, rain, looking at viewer, seductive smile, detailed background

    Open in Studio
  • Image prompt

    Anime key visual of an adult swordswoman and her rival after a duel, torn clothing, sweat, dramatic sunset, wind-swept hair, cinematic composition.

    Open in Studio
  • Video prompt

    Anime-style clip: an adult heroine in a loosened yukata turns toward the camera on a temple veranda, the fabric slides down one arm, petals drift past, slow push-in.

    Open in Studio

Switching from NovelAI in 3 steps

  1. Sign up with Google

    Create an account with Google: a new account gets 20 free credits, valid for 7 days, once per person. An account made with an email and password works too, without the gift.

  2. Paste your prompt

    Open an image model in Studio and paste a prompt you used on NovelAI, written out in full sentences. The model page shows the price before you run it.

  3. Turn the image into a video

    Send the finished image to a video model as its start frame and describe the movement. Video is priced per second, and the cost is shown before the clip starts.

FAQ ( 7 )

Frequently asked questions

Does NovelAI allow NSFW images?

Its Terms of Service, effective 8 December 2025 and read on 25 October 2026, contain no clause we could find on sexual or explicit content in either direction. Its model docs describe V5 Curated as the safer pick for avoiding sensitive images by accident and V5 Full as less curated. Check novelai.net for its current terms and guidance.

Can NovelAI make videos?

Its documentation covers image generation, image editing tools and story writing, with no video section that we found. Vellria offers text-to-video and image-to-video on several model families, so a NovelAI-style anime still can be animated here.

Is Vellria's anime model trained by Vellria?

No. Anime Pro Spicy is Vellria's anime setup built on Seedream 5.0 Pro from ByteDance, and Anima is an open-weight model from CircleStone Labs. NovelAI's Diffusion V5, by contrast, was trained in-house according to its documentation.

Do I need a subscription on Vellria like on NovelAI?

No. Credits are prepaid and nothing renews unless you pick the optional Starter or Pro plan. NovelAI offers subscriptions plus an on-demand Anlas option, and its V5 model is listed for subscribing tiers.

Will my NovelAI prompts work here?

Partly. Comma-separated Danbooru-style tags read well on Anima, while Anime Pro Spicy prefers plain sentences. NovelAI's tag strengthening and weakening, separate character prompts and Vibe Transfer belong to its own interface and have no equivalent on Vellria.

Is Vellria as private as NovelAI?

Not in the same way. NovelAI's terms describe encrypted storage and no request logging without consent. Vellria publishes nothing and has no public feed, but generations are stored on our servers, and our privacy policy allows prompts and outputs to be reviewed to monitor abuse.

Can I try it for free?

Yes, to start. A new account created with Google gets 20 free credits, valid for 7 days, once per person, and they work on every image and video model. After that, credits are bought before you generate; a monthly plan is optional.
