Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Is 7stories free?
New accounts start with 50 free credits. After that, you buy credit packs or a monthly plan. A text story costs a few credits; adding an image or video costs more.
Do I need an account to generate?
Yes. You must sign in to generate and save stories. This protects your work and tracks your credits.
Can I use my own photos?
Yes — upload up to 6 reference photos in the studio. They're used as a visual reference, and the first photo becomes the start frame for video.
Which image or video model should I pick?
Defaults are excellent (ChatGPT Image + Sora). For consistent characters across scenes, use Nano Banana or Seedream for images. See the models guide.
How do I make the AI write in Turkish (or another language)?
Set the Language step (step 12) to Turkish, Spanish, French, etc. The story is written in that language.
Why did my generation fail?
Most failures are because a provider account is out of credits (e.g. FAL balance or Anthropic credits) or a model needs its own setup. Check the error message, which usually says which provider.
Can I edit the result after generating?
Yes. After generation, use Edit story to change text, Regenerate for a new variation, or Redesign to apply a different style or engine.
How many stories can I save?
As many as you like. Your saved stories live in your library in the dashboard.
What are credits and why do I need them?
Credits map to the real cost of AI generation. Each image and film costs the underlying model API money, so credits keep usage fair and sustainable.
