Save your character a seat at the café. Bring them along on your next walk. With LIECA, the places you photograph have room for a little imagination. Start with the scene in front of you Hold the shutter in TALK mode and say what you would like to change. Release to generate a new AI image. If you prefer to write, save your directions in a personal preset, select it and take a photo. Add reference images when they help tell the story. Your character, ready for the next scene Add your character to the built-in reference library, give the image a name and choose it before shooting. Use up to 4 reference images alongside the captured scene, or link them to a personal preset for next time. The library is not just for characters: it can also hold objects and other references you own or have permission to use. What else would you like to see? Explore film-inspired color or a different mood of light. Imagine a small, friendly ghost around the corner. Try a product setting, an outfit idea or a new arrangement for a room. These are creative interpretations, not guarantees of exact likeness, dimensions, fit or product accuracy. A place to begin Open the camera as a guest and try Little J, the original sample character also known as Jiaoduan. Three ready-to-use presets offer a character scene, a film-inspired landscape and an imagined future. Use them as a starting point, then bring your own ideas. Keep both views in sight Compare the AI result with the original shot, revisit your creation history, and save or share images marked as AI-generated. For the scene just as it is, switch to PHOTO mode: ordinary photography without using AI credits. Credits when you need them AI generation uses credits. Packs of 36, 108 or 360 credits are available as one-time in-app purchases, with no subscription. A registered LIECA account and sign-in are required to purchase. Check the app for credit usage, your balance, guest trial availability and local prices. Create with care Use your own characters and materials, or ones you have permission to use. AI can change details and scenery; generated images are not records of real events. Cloud generation needs internet; TALK needs microphone access. With your consent, scene photos, selected or matched reference images, prompts and optional voice recordings are sent through our server to APIMart and its model-processing providers. Data may be processed outside your country. Manage AI consent and account/data deletion in Settings.
