Candy AI vs SoulGen vs Promptchan: select the image task
Identify the job first: a new character picture, a change within a result or a wider frame. Our character-and-text requests, SoulGen's editing tools and Promptchan's result actions accept different starting material and do different work.

Give a new image a subject and visual direction
Choose or create an AI companion with us, then describe the scene, clothes, pose and action. The character-and-text request makes a new picture through the image tool or a supported chat.
Set a style and write the scene in Promptchan's Create tool. Use the separate negative prompt to exclude unwanted details. For SoulGen's text-to-image creation, choose between realistic and anime styles.
Compare the input and the operation
| Image task | Candy AI | SoulGen | Promptchan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Make a fresh picture | Pair a chosen or custom character with a written request | Describe the image in text and choose realistic or anime output | Set a prompt and style in Create |
| Change a result | Adjust the request, then make another generated image | Mark a selected area and describe the intended edit | Select Tweak on the result for a targeted revision |
| Carry forward a starting idea | Reuse the companion choice while refining the scene description | Use portrait reference photos, or begin edits with an upload or an existing creation | Load a community creation's prompt and settings into Create with Clone |
Distinguish a local edit from added canvas
Imagine a fictional adult violin maker at a workbench. A different apron needs a focused edit; more of the workshop needs a wider frame. SoulGen changes selected areas, while Extend adds canvas through Upload Image or My Creations.
For a different starting point, Promptchan's Clone copies settings from a community result to Create. Tweak is the option for changing an apron or lighting in a generated workshop scene. Neither operation promises to keep all details untouched, so check the new picture.
Review the cost of the selected image action
Our subscriber text access does not remove image-token costs or provide unlimited pictures. Promptchan meters generation with Gems, while SoulGen has separate Pro editing and multiple-creation options. Review the action, plan requirements and total charge before paying rather than treating balances from different services as equivalent units.
Check the subject and permission before using a reference
Work with fictional adults and reference material you own or are authorised to use. On SoulGen, respect the rights attached to submitted images and the restrictions on other users' shared work. Promptchan prohibits identifiable real people regardless of their consent.
Our sharing conditions do not permit commercial reuse of generated characters, conversations, images or stories. Possession of a personal copy is not itself permission to publish it; check the relevant rights before sharing.
Your questions
Can I upload a photograph for Candy AI to edit?
Our character-and-text workflow requests a new picture. If you specifically need edits to an uploaded photograph, verify that capability before subscribing rather than assuming it follows from a character's portrait.
Can I republish a Promptchan creation simply because Clone is available?
Using Clone does not authorise off-service publication. It brings the selected community prompt and settings into Create, not a licence to republish another user's material. Check the permissions needed for use elsewhere.
Can the same real-person reference be used across these tools?
The rules differ. Promptchan excludes identifiable real people even when they consent. SoulGen's reference-photo option still requires respect for rights and privacy. Prefer original fictional material and check the input accepted by the particular control you intend to use.
