The first things to try

Start with your character

Almost everything in Sozee is made with a character, so create yours first. Go to Characters in the top navigation and start a new character. You can choose between two kinds.

The Build Your Character screen with two choices: Clone your likeness and AI character. — *In the app.* Start a new character in **Characters**: clone your likeness (1) or design an AI character (2).

Clone your likeness. Upload a few face and body photos, and Sozee rebuilds you across every angle and pose. See how to choose your photos.
AI character. Design someone new from traits such as skin tone, eyes, hair, lips and body. A consistent, fully synthetic persona.

Every account can hold at least one character. Creator and Agency plans include more character slots.

The Create page: your modes

The Create page is where you make content. Along the bar at the bottom of the screen you choose a mode.

AI. Describe what you want in plain words and Sozee works out the details for you. It's the mode you land on.
Image. Make photos from a prompt. Pick your character from the character button, or choose No character for an image made from your text alone.
Video. Make videos. Choose how to start: Starting Image (animate a photo from your Vault), Explore Video, Clone Reel (the same video, with your character), From a Video (recreate a video you upload) or Describe An Idea (a video from words).
Voice Note and Live Mode. Make a voice note in your character's voice, or stream as your character live.

The Create page prompt bar with the mode buttons underneath: AI, Image, Video, UGC, Live Mode and Voice Note. — *In the app.* The mode buttons sit under the prompt bar on the Create page.

The Create bar on a phone, with the Reference slot, the prompt, the AI mode button and the character button. — *In the app.* On a phone, the mode (AI here) and your character sit under the prompt.

Your finished photos and videos are saved in your Vault, where you can open, edit, download and organise them.

The Vault page: a grid of finished photos, with filters for characters, images, videos and folders. — *In the app.* Your Vault, with filters for each character, images, videos and folders.

Image settings

Setting	Options
Quantity	1, 2 or 4 images per prompt
Resolution	1K, 2K or 4K (character images)
Aspect ratio	4:5, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 or 16:9

1K suits social media posts and quick content. 2K and 4K give more detail, for larger displays and prints.
Each image you make uses credits, so 4 images cost four times as much as 1. Higher resolutions cost more per image. See how credits work.
2K, 4K and the aspect ratios other than 4:5 are part of the paid plans.

Video settings

You set the length, resolution and shape in the last step of the video flow, before you generate.

Setting	Options
Length (Starting Image and Describe An Idea)	5, 10, 15, 30, 60 or 90 seconds
Length (Explore Video)	5, 10 or 15 seconds
Resolution	480p or 720p
Aspect ratio	Auto, 1:1, 4:5, 9:16 or 16:9
