We’re excited to announce a major upgrade to our XP system, adding milestone-based rewards for all Gencraft users! As you accumulate XP by creating images and earn rewards you can redeem to celebrate milestones and further your creative journey.
At Gencraft, our mission is to empower everyone to find a home for their imagination, helping them find their unique voice and connect with a like-minded community. We hope the XP system grows into a tool that inspires users in remarkable ways, unlocking new opportunities for creativity and collaboration.
Let’s take a closer look at how our updated XP system works and the creative features we’re excited about.
Maximize Your Creativity: How the XP System Works 👇
At Gencraft, we place tremendous value on our users and their journeys. That’s why we aim to create a transparent and fair reward system by explaining in detail how it works.
For Pro users, the XP system includes additional opportunities to earn rewards, which means even more ways to celebrate your progress. Meanwhile, new users and those with less XP don’t need to worry—they can catch up by using tips and completing quests specifically designed to help maximize XP gains.
Check Out the XP Portal
To make tracking your progress easy, we’ve created the XP Portal. If you haven’t already, check out the XP Portal on Gencraft!
Keep track of your reward progress within your Gencraft account’s XP Portal, located in the top header. In the portal, you can learn about XP, view your XP gains so far, and the XP required to unlock your next reward. This makes it easier than ever to stay on top of your milestones and plan your next creative steps.
From this Portal, you can also navigate to the Rewards Store and view the rewards you’ve earned.
See Your Rewards at the Store
Our Rewards Store is the one-stop place to manage all your earned rewards. Here, you’ll find stauses for each reward, categorized as:
Available: Ready to claim!
Claimed: Claimed but not yet used.
Expired: Claimed but not used in time.
Used: Claimed and fully redeemed.
Additionally, rewards currently in use are labeled “In Use” on their Reward Card.
When you’re eligible to claim a new reward, you’ll be notified through the XP Portal. Once you claim it, you’ll automatically enter the Store to reveal your mystery prize!
Show Off Your Style: Unlock Badges!
As you continue publishing content and interacting with the community, you’ll have the opportunity to celebrate your achievements with stylish Badges! Once you reach a certain XP threshold, you’ll become eligible to redeem badges that display on your profile
To claim your badge, simply visit the Rewards Store. Once claimed, badges can be used immediately to showcase your creative mastery.
Your badge and its associated labels will be displayed prominently on your profile, feed, comments, and more until it expires. Moreover, clicking a user’s badge opens a pop-up explaining its significance!
We’re very excited to bring more badges to the Rewards Store as creators continue to express themselves in unique ways.
Celebrating Our Creators: Inspiration in Action
Our community is already lighting up with users proudly showcasing their badges—and we couldn’t be more excited! For example, creators like SorayaK and VisionaryArt have used their badges to elevate creative presence in our Gencraft community, standing out with their stunning work and achievements.
If you’re curious, take a look at the Social Feed to see badges in action! Whether you’re a veteran user at the top of the leaderboards or a new user starting your creative journey, badges make your profile even more impactful.
As we onboard more creators and release more rewards, we’ll see each badge telling a story, celebrating the dedication and creativity behind earning it.
So why wait? Join the movement! Claim your badges, display them proudly, and share your unique journey with the Gencraft community. Your achievements could inspire others to reach their own creative milestones.
Exciting Future Rewards: Boosted Posts 🎉
Get ready to take your creations to the next level with Boosted Posts, an upcoming Reward on Gencraft! With this feature, you’ll be able to redeem XP to boost the visibility of one of your creations on the Social Feed. Your work will be in front of more eyes and unlock new opportunities for connection.
Boosting your creation will make it easier than ever to amplify your voice and stand out in the Gencraft community.
Stay tuned for the launch of Boosted Creations in a future release—and start earning XP now to boost your best creations and inspire the world!

Clarifying our Pro Plan Transparency
We’ve made an important update to clarify how our Pro Plan works. While we previously offered “unlimited prompts,” there were rarely protective guards employed to prevent misuse and spamming. Pro users are always welcome to generate up to 1,500 prompts per day—an incredibly high limit that most users will never reach.
This change is about being transparent with our community while continuing to provide incredible value. We’re working hard to make Gencraft’s Pro offering even more affordable while adding new features to enhance your creative experience.
As always, we’re grateful for your trust and feedback. Stay tuned for exciting updates for our Pro users soon!
Your creativity fuels our passion. We’re grateful to our incredible community of creators for inspiring us with your amazing work. We can’t wait to see how you utilize Realism 3.2 [Ultra], Magic Edit 2.0, and all the new features in this release.
