❓FAQs
Discover answers to our most frequently asked questions
Is Sogni private?
Yes, Sogni is built with privacy and ownership at the core, whether you're creating on your device or through the Supernet.
With on-device processing, your prompts and images never leave your device. Everything stays local, nothing is uploaded, logged, or shared.
With Supernet processing, your jobs are still private. Prompts and images are encrypted and securely routed through permissionless workers who never see or store your content. Your wallet is only used to verify your identity and reward you for your activity.
And most importantly: your wallet is yours. You alone hold the private keys. We never have access to your funds, your account, or your data. You're in full control.
Sogni doesn’t train on your prompts, and we don’t collect your creative output. Our mission is to empower expression, not exploit it.
What are the minimum system requirements for Sogni Studio and Sogni Pocket?
Native macOS and iOS apps support both on-device and Supernet processing, with the following minimum requirements:
• macOS Sonoma 14.0: Apple silicon and at least 16GB of RAM (recommended).
• iOS 17: iPhone 13 Pro or iPad with Apple silicon.
When using On-Device processing, older devices may be unable to compile the Core ML models or complete the image generation process due to memory limitations.
What size are the images and videos generated by Sogni?
By default, most models generate images at an industry-standard resolution of 1024 × 1024 pixels, or alternate aspect ratios with the same megapixel count.
If you enable upscaling, Sogni can boost image and video output to resolutions up to 2048 × 2048 pixels—resulting in sharp, high-quality visuals that are ready for sharing or post-processing.
Do you plan on bringing Sogni to Android, Windows and Linux?
Yes! We are actively working towards offering Sogni natively on all platforms and devices. To stay up to date with all product updates please subscribe to our newsletter at the bottom of our website. See our currently supported platforms and devices here.
In the meantime platforms that do not have native Sogni apps can use the app.sogni.ai webapp.
What's the difference between the original models and their 8-bit / 6-bit / 4.5-bit quantized counterparts?
6-bit and 4.5-bit model versions are three times lighter than the originals, saving significant memory. They can run on devices with limited RAM, including iPhone 12-13, iPads with the A15 chip, and older Macs that may struggle with the original models. They are only available for macOS 14 and iOS 17.
Can I import custom Stable Diffusion models?
Yes, for on-device processing. You can import any Stable Diffusion model that has already been converted to Core ML, whether downloaded from the internet or trained by you, by going to File > Import S.D. Core ML model.
I am not getting the image described in my prompts. Any tips?

Choose a different model. Sogni offers a wide range of AI models, each uniquely trained to excel in areas such as photorealism, art, and illustration. The Flux model available available on Sogni Supernet is the easiest model for beginners to work with. The Model Explorer provides a brief description of each model, along with recommended settings and sample image configurations to help you get started.
Check your prompt structure. Take a look at our tutorial video on how to write better prompts. Additionally, each setting in the app has a question mark button that provides Help content. The help section for the Prompt has good tips on how to construct effective prompts.
Adjust the number of Steps and Guidance Scale.
Use a Guide Image or ControlNet to give the model a reference.
Review the Safety filter setting in the Advanced tab.
How can I generate more realistic faces?
Take a look at our tutorial video "Creating Photorealistic Portraits in Sogni AI."
Add keywords related to the face you want in the image. Just mentioning the style of eyes or type of facial expression can already help. Also, adding keywords like "perfect face" or "highly detailed face" usually makes the model put in more effort.
Use a lower Guidance Scale setting when looking for photorealistic results. A lower Guidance setting around 5-6 can help maintain softer edges and achieve more realistic lighting, film, and atmospheric effects.
For achieving photorealistic faces, consider experimenting with the Film and Photography style presets to fine-tune the visual nuances.
Turn OFF automatic scaling in the Advanced tab. The upscaler can sometimes lead to excessive smoothing, particularly on faces and skin areas, resulting in an unnatural appearance.
What can I do to prevent image degradation when generating animations using a Guide Image?
Shuffle the seed: Use a different seed for the animation than the one used to generate the Guide Image.
Consider increasing the number of steps and adjusting the Guidance Scale value.
Modify the Scheduler and Time Spacing settings.

How can I save my generated images to disk?
Sogni Pocket Swipe up the image, this will save it in your Sogni Gallery. You can also tap the share button located under your generated image and choose "Save Image" to save it to your Photos library, or "Save to Files" to save it in the Files app.
Sogni Studio and Sogni Studio Pro:
a. Click "Save..." from the File menu. b. Click the save button located on the top right corner of the main window. c. Drag and drop the generated image from the main window to the desired location. d. Drag and drop any image from the gallery to the desired location. e. Control-click any image and choose "Save Image", or "Save a copy..." if it's already saved in your gallery.
What does the "Safe Content Filter" do?
The filter is intended to detect images that may contain potentially disturbing content for the viewer, such as graphic violence, nudity, sexual, vulgar, and NSFW content in general. If such an image is detected, it will not be displayed, and you will receive an error message instead. You should be at least 18 years old to turn OFF the filter.
Is it safe to share my compute power on the Supernet?
Switching to Worker Mode in Studio Pro for macOS is completely safe—for both your privacy and your machine. When enabled, your Mac helps process encrypted AI jobs from the Supernet, but your personal files, prompts, and data are never exposed or accessed. Everything runs in a secure, sandboxed environment, isolated from the rest of your system.
There’s no risk to your hardware, no chance of malware or shady code, and you stay in full control at all times. You can pause or stop working whenever you want. It’s a private, secure way to contribute compute power—and earn rewards—without giving up performance or peace of mind.
