About Zoivu

Zoivu is a web app for creating and reusing original characters (OCs). A user starts from a written idea, a photo they have permission to use, or a random brief, then reviews the direction and a credit quote in Zoivu Studio before confirming any generation. Results can be adopted as the character's original design or kept as separate saved Looks.

Best for

  • Designing an original character and keeping it consistent across outfits, poses, reference sheets and comic panels
  • Original character design: Develop an OC from a short written brief and refine the chosen design.
  • Outfit and style exploration: Generate new Looks for an existing character without overwriting the original.
  • Reference sheets: Build views and expressions to keep a character consistent across projects.
  • Comic panels: Place a saved cast into a scene and turn a moment into a short story.
  • Chat stickers: Create reaction sticker packs from a character.

Not ideal for

  • Finished video production
  • Users who need guaranteed identical faces across images
  • Users who need an API or mobile app

Frequently asked questions

Is Zoivu free to use?

There is a free plan with a one-time gift of 60 credits valid for 14 days, enough for about six ordinary 1K images. Continued use needs a paid plan or a credit top-up.

Which AI models does Zoivu use?

Its terms say image generation uses GPT Image 2.5, GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst or Microsoft MAI-Image-2.6 through third-party providers, and DeepSeek Flash for creative text planning. Zoivu says it is independent and not endorsed by those providers.

Can I use generated images commercially?

The terms say you may download, edit, publish and use generated results commercially on free and paid plans, subject to the terms. Zoivu does not guarantee exclusive rights or copyright protection for AI output.

Can I upload photos of other people?

Photo starts require that you have the rights and permission to use the photo. You must be at least 18 to use Zoivu.

Does it generate video?

Not finished video. The terms say video workflows currently produce keyframes and planning materials, not video files.

Can I get a refund?

A new or renewed subscription can be refunded within 14 days of payment if the credits it funded have not been used. An entirely unused credit pack can also qualify within 14 days. Other cases are reviewed individually.
