What is Raphael AI?+
Raphael AI is a pay-as-you-go platform with 10+ AI image, editing, and video models from providers including OpenAI, Google, Black Forest Labs, and ByteDance. New users receive 1 welcome credit after signing in.
How do I get started?+
Sign in with Google to receive 1 welcome credit, choose any image model, enter a description, and click Generate. Purchase credits only after that first generation.
Do I need to create an account?+
Yes. Image generation requires Google sign-in. Each new account receives exactly 1 welcome credit; additional generations require purchased credits.
What languages are supported?+
The interface supports 8 languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, Russian, and Filipino. It auto-detects your browser language.
Does Raphael AI work on mobile?+
Yes, Raphael AI is fully responsive and works on any device with a modern browser — phones, tablets, and desktops.
How do I write a good prompt?+
Be specific: include the subject, style, lighting, colors, and composition. Example: "a golden retriever puppy sitting in autumn leaves, soft sunlight, photorealistic, shallow depth of field". Check our Tutorials page for detailed guides.
What AI models are available?+
Current options include GPT Image 2 and GPT-4o Image, Nano Banana / Pro / 2 (Gemini), Flux Kontext and Flux 2, Seedream 4.5 and 5.0 Lite, Z-Image, and Seedance video. Availability can change with upstream providers.
What resolutions are supported?+
Depending on the model: 1K (1024×1024), 2K (2048×2048), 3K, and up to 4K (4096×4096). Higher resolutions cost more per image. Multiple aspect ratios are supported: 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16, 4:1, 1:4, and more.
Can I use reference images?+
Yes, most models support image-to-image generation. Upload reference photos to guide the AI's output. Some models support 1 reference, others up to 8, and Gemini models up to 14 references.
How long does generation take?+
Processing time varies by model, resolution, reference-image count, provider capacity, and network conditions. Higher-resolution image and video jobs generally take longer.
Why did my generation fail?+
Common reasons: the prompt contains content that violates safety filters, the server is under heavy load, or there's a network issue. Try rephrasing your prompt or waiting a moment before retrying.
What browsers are supported?+
Any modern browser: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Brave, and their mobile versions. We recommend keeping your browser updated for the best experience.
Is there an API?+
Our image and video generation is powered by KIE.AI. Direct public API access is not currently offered through Raphael AI.
What is Turnstile verification?+
Cloudflare Turnstile is a privacy-friendly CAPTCHA alternative that protects signed-in generation requests from bots. It runs automatically before generation.
Why is the generator showing a verification error?+
This usually means the Turnstile widget did not load properly. Try refreshing the page, disabling ad blockers, or using a different browser. JavaScript must be enabled.
Is there a free trial?+
Yes. New users receive 1 free credit after signing in and can use it once on any image model. Additional generations require purchased credits.
How does image pricing work?+
Pay as you go: current packs are $4.90 for 20 credits, $9.90 for 50, $19.90 for 120, and $49 for 350. Each supported image generation uses 1 credit. Video pricing is separate and shown by duration and resolution.
Does my balance expire?+
No, your balance never expires. Top up once and use it whenever you want — there's no time limit.
What payment methods are accepted?+
We accept credit/debit cards and other payment methods through Creem, our payment processor. All transactions are secure and processed by a licensed Merchant of Record.
Can I get a refund?+
Unused balance can be refunded within 14 days of purchase. Contact us at raphaelai@zohomail.cn with your order details.
How much does each image generation cost?+
Each supported image generation uses 1 credit. Your effective dollar cost depends on the credit pack you purchase. Visit Pricing for current packs; video uses separate duration-based pricing.
Can I use generated images commercially?+
Raphael AI does not claim ownership of your output and permits commercial use, subject to our Terms, applicable law, third-party model terms, and any rights in your prompt or reference material.
Does Raphael AI store my images?+
Generated outputs are not added to your Raphael AI account history. Uploaded reference media may be stored temporarily in Cloudflare R2 and processed by KIE.AI to complete the request; see the Privacy Policy for details.
Does Raphael AI use my prompts for training?+
Raphael AI does not train its own models on your prompts or uploads. Generation providers process submitted content under their own service and privacy policies.
What content is prohibited?+
Content that is violent, hateful, sexually exploitative (especially involving minors), infringing on others' IP, or promoting terrorism is strictly prohibited. AI safety filters are applied across all models.
How do I contact support?+
Email raphaelai@zohomail.cn. We typically respond within 2 business days. Include your order ID for billing issues, but never send full card details.
How do I report a bug?+
Use our Feedback page or email us with a description of the issue, your browser info, and screenshots if possible. We investigate every report.
