What is Venice?
Venice is a private, uncensored generative AI app that delivers text, image, video, audio, code, and search capabilities directly in your web browser or mobile app without requiring downloads or accounts for basic use. It utilizes leading open-source AI models from providers like Claude, Google, DeepSeek, OpenAI, Mistral, Meta, Qwen, Grok, Kimi, Black Forest Labs, NVIDIA, ElevenLabs, Runway, and more to provide fully private or anonymized AI generation.
Key features include uncensored AI chat for honest answers without censorship, image generation with editing/upscaling/background removal, video creation from text or images using Sora/Kling/Runway/Veo models, audio/music generation with studio-quality text-to-speech, code writing in any programming language, document analysis via PDF uploads, character creation, and an OpenAI-compatible API for building agents with function calling and web search. The platform offers multiple AI models for different results and styles, conversation history saved only in your browser, and a points system earned with each inference.
Venice is designed for creators, developers, researchers, and anyone seeking privacy-focused AI without restrictions. It serves users who want uncensored answers to any question, artists generating images in any style, programmers writing code, researchers analyzing documents, educators creating content, and enterprises needing secure AI with zero data retention. The platform appeals to those tired of AI that logs conversations, attaches them to identity, or shares data with third parties and governments.
The privacy architecture features four tiers: Anonymized (strips identifying metadata before processing third-party models), Private (zero data retention on self-hosted open-source models), TEE/Trusted Execution Enclaves (hardware-secured so Venice cannot access computation), and End-to-End Encrypted (client-side encryption before leaving device). Venice never stores, logs, or reviews prompts or model responses on its servers, and inference requests route through encrypted proxy servers to decentralized compute providers.

Frequently asked questions about Venice
Is Venice really uncensored and private?
Yes. Venice doesn't spy on you and doesn't censor the AI. Venice will never review conversations because it doesn't store them. Your conversation history is stored only in your browser. Venice does not store or log prompts or model responses on its servers. Inference requests are encrypted and sent through a proxy server to decentralized compute resources, and responses stream back through the encrypted proxy without persisting anywhere other than your browser.
Do I need an account to use Venice?
No account is necessary for basic use. Venice is free and open without an account. You can use it right now with no email or signup needed. However, creating a Free Account gives you higher limits and the ability to earn points. Pro Account unlocks enhanced features like PDF uploads, Safe Mode control, and System Prompt access.
What AI models does Venice offer?
Venice provides access to leading AI models including Claude, Google, DeepSeek, OpenAI, Mistral, Meta, Qwen, Grok, Kimi, Black Forest Labs, NVIDIA, ElevenLabs, Runway, Bytedance, MiniMax, Inception, GLM, Gemma, Kling, Arcee, PixVerse, and Vidu. Users can choose from several different AI models for different results and styles, including text, image, video, and audio models.
How does Venice's privacy architecture work?
Venice has four privacy tiers: Tier 1 Anonymized strips all identifying metadata before processing third-party models. Tier 2 Private ensures zero data retention on self-hosted open-source models with prompts never stored. Tier 3 TEE (Trusted Execution Enclaves) uses hardware-secured enclaves so Venice itself cannot access computation. Tier 4 End-to-End Encrypted uses client-side encryption where prompts are encrypted before leaving your device and only TEE decrypts them.
What can I do with Venice?
You can have any question answered and instantly shorten or elaborate answers, generate images of anything in any style, write code in any programming language, learn how to do any project and research topics, debate philosophy and discover history, solve math problems, translate any language, get polite or harsh criticism of your writing, create videos from text or images, generate music and audio, analyze PDFs, create characters, and build agents using the API.
What's the difference between Pro, Pro+, and Max plans?
Pro ($18/mo) includes all AI models, unlimited text, 1,000 images/day, $10 credits/month, upscaling, watermark removal, characters, and API. Pro+ ($68/mo) adds $75 credits/month, 10% credit bonus, 2-month credit banking, video generation via credits, and higher API limits. Max ($200/mo) adds $225 credits/month, 12.5% credit bonus, 3-month credit banking, highest API limits, and priority support. All include uncensored models and privacy.
Does Venice store my conversation history?
No. Venice does not store or log prompts or model responses on its servers. Your conversation history is stored only in your browser. Venice will never review your conversations because they don't exist on their servers. The GPU providers processing inference requests see only one specific conversation without your entire history or identity.
Can I use Venice on mobile?
Yes. Venice works in your web browser and has mobile apps for iPhone and Android. iPhone and Android users can put Venice on their homescreen for a magical experience. The mobile UI supports dark mode and provides the same private, uncensored AI capabilities as the web version.
What is the Venice API?
Venice offers an OpenAI-compatible API that plugs into any agent stack with function calling, web search, and multimodal generation. It provides text, images, video, music, speech, embeddings, and web tools through a single industry-standard API with one key and zero data retention. Pro plan includes API access, while Pro+ and Max offer progressively higher API limits.
Is there a discount for annual subscriptions?
Yes. You can save 10% on annual subscriptions for all paid plans (Pro, Pro+, and Max). Every tier includes uncensored models and full privacy regardless of billing cycle. The discount applies automatically when you choose annual billing over monthly.
