Question 1

What is Charmloop?

Accepted Answer

Charmloop is an AI character studio. You pick or design an AI character, generate images of them, and chat with them. The same character holds memory across images and conversation.

Question 2

What can I do for free?

Accepted Answer

Browse the full catalog of characters, create your own character, claim one free avatar generation when you do, and try chat with a daily message cap. The Free tier is forever — no card needed.

Question 3

Can I try Charmloop before signing up?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can browse the catalog, explore the Base and Pro generators, and start a chat preview without an account. We'll ask you to sign in only when you're ready to generate or send your first message, and preserve what you set up.

Question 4

Do I get charms for signing up?

Accepted Answer

Eligible new accounts are shown the current welcome charm gift during signup, with no payment method required. Offers can change, so check the signup screen for the details available to you.

Question 5

How do I start?

Accepted Answer

Sign up with an email, pick a character from the catalog (or create your own), and hit Generate. Your first image takes about 22 seconds.

Question 6

Do I need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Charmloop runs in the browser on desktop and mobile. Add it to your home screen on iPhone if you want push notifications when long generations finish.

Question 7

What languages do you support?

Accepted Answer

English, Українська, and Русский are fully supported, with nine more languages (Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, Korean) rolling out. The studio is identical in every language.

Question 8

Can I turn my character into a Telegram bot?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Any Charmloop companion can become its own standalone Telegram bot with its own handle — it chats in persona and sends photos, and you pay a flat per-message rate in charms. See how Telegram bots work.

Question 9

What's the difference between the Base generator and the Pro generator?

Accepted Answer

Base is the everyday tool — pick a character, pick a pose, outfit and background, and we blend it into one prompt for you. Pro gives you full control: write your own prompts, lock seeds, use img2img and reference images, preserve faces across variants, and render up to 2K.

Question 10

How long does a generation take?

Accepted Answer

Base usually takes 10–30 seconds. Pro takes longer because it runs heavier workflows — typically 30–90 seconds depending on resolution and post-processing.

Question 11

What if a generation fails?

Accepted Answer

Charms are deducted up front and refunded automatically if the job fails. You don't lose charms to a provider error.

Question 12

Can I use my own reference image?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in Pro mode. Upload a reference for img2img guidance or face preservation, and the generator will follow the look.

Question 13

Why are some characters greyed out or blurred?

Accepted Answer

NSFW characters and images are blurred in the catalog unless you're signed in, have NSFW access on your subscription, and have turned the unblur toggle on in Settings. See Content & safety below.

Question 14

What art styles can I choose?

Accepted Answer

You can create a companion in Realistic, Anime, or Semi-real style. Its style is set when created so it stays consistent; fork a public companion to create a separate version in another style.

Question 15

Can I create my own AI character?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the four-step wizard — character setup, appearance, identity (name + personality), then review. You design the gender, age, look, personality traits, and backstory. Generating the model is free.

Question 16

Do I get a free avatar when I create a model?

Accepted Answer

Yes, one free avatar generation per model when you finish the wizard. After that, avatar regenerations cost charms like any image.

Question 17

Who owns the characters I create?

Accepted Answer

You do. Your characters live in your private space (My Space) and are not visible to other users unless you publish them. You can keep them, fork them, regenerate the avatar, or delete them at any time.

Question 18

Can I edit a character after I create them?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can rename, edit personality, regenerate the avatar, and add gallery images at any time from the model page.

Question 19

What is "forking"?

Accepted Answer

Forking takes a public character from the catalog and makes a private copy in your space so you can tweak appearance, personality, or generate without changing the original.

Question 20

What is Identity Studio?

Accepted Answer

Identity Studio lets Premium and Ultimate users train a reusable identity for their own character from 10–40 images. Once training finishes, the character's face stays more consistent across future generations in that art style. Training generally takes 20–40 minutes; a system failure is refunded automatically.

Question 21

What does chat do?

Accepted Answer

You hold a real conversation with any character — over WebSocket, with typing indicators, streamed replies, and message history that persists across sessions.

Question 22

Does the character remember me?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with Memory. The character remembers things you share — your name, preferences, past scenes — across sessions. Memory is on for Premium and above; the Free tier has a daily message cap.

Question 23

What's the difference between Roleplay and Text Messages mode?

Accepted Answer

Roleplay is the default — immersive, longer replies with scene descriptions. Text Messages is short, casual, SMS-style banter. You can switch any time in chat settings.

Question 24

How much does chat cost?

Accepted Answer

Free-tier users get a daily message cap on rotating providers. Paid tiers consume charms per message based on the AI engine you pick — costs are shown on the engine itself. Premium subscribers get access to the premium LLMs.

Question 25

What are tokens?

Accepted Answer

Tokens are Charmloop's in-app currency. Image generation, chat messages on paid engines, and avatar regenerations cost tokens. You earn them by subscribing or by buying a top-up pack.

Question 26

How much does a generation cost in charms?

Accepted Answer

Pro image: 12 charms and up, depending on resolution, batch size, and post-processing. The exact cost is shown live as you change settings — and the breakdown is visible before you click Generate.

Question 27

What are the subscription tiers?

Accepted Answer

Free ($0), Basic (500 charms/mo), Premium (1,500 charms/mo, $19.99/mo or $12.99/mo yearly), and Ultimate (5,000 charms/mo). Premium unlocks NSFW models, Pro generation, priority queue, premium chat engines, chat Memory, and video generation. Ultimate includes the largest charm allowance.

Question 28

Do unused charms roll over?

Accepted Answer

Subscription charms refresh at the start of each month and don't roll over — anything unused expires when the new month's allotment lands. Top-up charms you buy separately carry forward indefinitely until you spend them.

Question 29

What happens when my subscription expires?

Accepted Answer

You get a 3-day grace period with full access. After that, you move to the free tier. Your characters, chats, and gallery stay safe.

Question 30

Does Charmloop auto-renew?

Accepted Answer

No. Charmloop subscriptions are prepaid — you buy a 1, 3, 6, or 12-month period as a single payment. We send reminders before your period ends so you can renew manually.

Question 31

What's the Starter Pack?

Accepted Answer

A one-time-only offer of 390 charms plus 7 days of Premium for $14.99, available once per account. It's the cheapest way to try the full product before committing.

Question 32

Can I earn free charms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Complete achievements — such as exploring the studio, creating, chatting and building a streak — to earn charms you can spend on image generation. Find your progress in Profile → Achievements.

Question 33

How do I pay?

Accepted Answer

With cryptocurrency, through NOWPayments. Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, Solana, and 100+ other coins — you pick at checkout.

Question 34

Why no credit cards?

Accepted Answer

We are working on it.

Question 35

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

All crypto payments are final and non-refundable. If something goes wrong — a payment that didn't credit, a generation that failed and didn't refund charms — contact support and we'll make it right.

Question 36

Is my payment private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NOWPayments handles the crypto transaction; Charmloop never sees your coin or wallet address. There's no card on file because there's no card.

Question 37

Will I be charged again automatically?

Accepted Answer

No. Crypto subscriptions are prepaid for the period you choose (1, 3, 6, or 12 months). When the period ends you decide whether to renew. There is no recurring charge.

Question 38

Does Charmloop have NSFW content?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on Premium and above. NSFW models exist in the catalog but are blurred and locked unless you (1) are signed in, (2) have a subscription tier that includes NSFW access, and (3) have turned on the NSFW visibility setting. You can keep the platform fully SFW even on a paid plan.

Question 39

How do I turn NSFW on or off?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings → Content preferences. There are two toggles — one to show adult models in the catalog, and one to unblur their images. Both are off by default.

Question 40

Is everyone allowed to see NSFW content?

Accepted Answer

No. You must be 18 or older. We rely on your self-attestation when you create an account and when you enable adult content — misrepresenting your age violates our Terms.

Question 41

Are AI characters real people?

Accepted Answer

No. Every character on Charmloop is fictional — either user-created or designed by us. We do not allow characters that depict real, identifiable people.

Question 42

Are there things I can't generate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We don't allow content depicting minors, real identifiable people without consent, or anything illegal. Prompts that hit these filters fail and charms are refunded. The full list lives in our content policy.

Question 43

Can I report a model or image?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Email us at support@charmloop.ai with the model name or image URL and a brief description. Every report is reviewed.

Question 44

How do I sign up?

Accepted Answer

Email and password. No phone number, no card, no real name required. Email verification is required before you can generate.

Question 45

Can I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. From Settings → Account, request deletion. You have a 30-day grace period in which you can cancel the request and restore the account. After 30 days, your data is permanently anonymized and removed.

Question 46

Can I export my data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide a GDPR-compliant export — your profile, characters you created, chats, generation history, and gallery — on request from Settings → Account.

Question 47

What data do you store about me?

Accepted Answer

Your account (email, hashed password), the characters you create, your chats and generated images, your generation settings, and the persona you optionally share with characters. We don't sell data and we don't run third-party advertising.

Question 48

I can't find an answer here — how do I contact support?

Accepted Answer

Email us at support@charmloop.ai. We read every message.

Question 49

How long do you keep my data?

Accepted Answer

Your data is kept as long as your account is active. Once you request deletion, a 30-day grace window starts; after that, data is permanently anonymized and removed from our systems.
