Soul is how Higgsfield handles fashion-aware, culture-native image generation. The family includes three models: Soul for quick preset-driven generation, Soul 2.0 for full creative control with Moodboards, Soul HEX, and reference images, and Soul Cinema for cinematic-grade visuals. Each model has its own Soul ID, so characters are created and used separately per model.
What is the Soul family?
Model | Best for | Key features |
|---|---|---|
Soul | Quick preset-driven generation | Style presets, avatar support |
Soul 2.0 | Full creative control | Presets, Moodboard, Soul HEX, Soul ID, reference image |
Soul Cinema | Cinematic-grade visuals | Soul HEX, Soul ID, cinematic style built in |
Soul ID characters are model-specific: a character trained for Soul 2.0 is not available in Soul or Soul Cinema. Create a separate character for each model you want to use it with.
How do I generate with Higgsfield Soul?
Path: higgsfield.ai → Image → Soul
Select a preset from the preset panel. Categories include General, TikTok Core, Instagram Aesthetics, Beauty, Mood, Camera Photo, and Graphic Art. Write a prompt or leave it empty, set your batch size and aspect ratio, and click Generate.
You can also generate with an avatar. Select one from the Character section, choose a preset, and generate. When a reference image is attached, the prompt field becomes unavailable.
How do I generate with Higgsfield Soul 2.0?
Path: higgsfield.ai → Image → Soul 2.0
Soul 2.0 gives you more control. You can combine a prompt, a preset or Moodboard, a Soul ID character, and a Soul HEX color palette in the same generation.
Without a reference image, all inputs are available together: prompt, preset or Moodboard, Soul ID, and Soul HEX.
With a reference image, the prompt field becomes unavailable. Soul 2.0 uses the reference as the primary direction. You can still apply a Soul ID character and a Soul HEX palette alongside it.
Available settings: aspect ratio (9:16, 3:4, 2:3, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:2), quality (1.5k or 2k), and batch size (1 to 4 images).
What are Moodboards?
Moodboards are custom reusable style presets you create from your own reference images. Soul 2.0 analyzes their lighting, texture, contrast, and color to build a style that applies consistently across your generations.
Two types are available: Curated Moodboards (built-in presets like Y2K Studio, Digital Camera, Retro BW) and Personal Moodboards (your own created styles).
To create a Moodboard: Soul 2.0 - Moodboard icon - Build your moodboard - upload from device or from Assets. For a strong style result, aim for 20 or more images in one cohesive aesthetic without faces. Avoid blurry or low-quality images and avoid mixing unrelated styles.
Moodboards are only available in Soul 2.0, not in Soul or Soul Cinema.
What is Soul HEX?
Soul HEX is a color control tool. Upload a reference image and Soul HEX extracts its dominant color palette, then applies those colors to your generation. Available in Soul 2.0 and Soul Cinema.
To use Soul HEX: click Color Transfer in the generation bar, then upload a reference image or choose from built-in palettes: Film colors, Lime Jam, Candy pink, Nostalgic blue, Soft palette, and Black gloss.
What is Soul ID?
Soul ID is the character consistency layer. Train it once on photos of one person and the same face appears across every generation on that model.
Each model has its own separate Soul ID. A character trained for Soul 2.0 works only in Soul 2.0, not in Soul or Soul Cinema. Create a dedicated character for each model you want to use it with.
