Consistent character

Keep one character consistent across scenes.

Upload a photo that defines your character and use the reference-guided preset to place them into new settings with the same face, hairstyle, and identity. The preset keeps the character on-model while the workspace keeps scene, wardrobe, and style editable.

A focused character-consistency workflow

Identity carries over

The preset preserves facial identity, hairstyle, and proportions from the reference photo.

Describe any setting

Edit the prompt to drop the character into cafés, forests, stages, or sci-fi corridors.

Compare against the source

Use the reference-image comparison to confirm the character stayed on-model.

How to keep a character consistent

The preset supplies the consistency direction while the ImageStyle workspace keeps the prompt and output settings editable.

  1. 1

    Upload a defining reference

    A clear, front-facing photo with the character’s usual hairstyle and outfit anchors the identity.

  2. 2

    Review the scene prompt

    The new-scene direction is prefilled. Keep it, or describe the exact setting, action, and style.

  3. 3

    Generate and compare

    Inspect the new scene beside the reference, then refine or download the result.

What to inspect in the generated scene

Likeness softens with distance
Wide shots and profiles weaken identity. Close, front-facing scenes stay on-model best.
Wardrobe changes need prompting
The preset keeps the reference outfit unless you describe a wardrobe change explicitly.
Only use references you may use
Upload character photos that you have the rights to reuse in new scenes.

Consistent character FAQ

Will the face stay the same in every scene?
The preset is tuned to preserve identity, though wide or profile shots can soften likeness. Compare against the reference each time.
Do I need to write a prompt?
No. The new-scene direction is prefilled and editable. Generate as-is or describe your target setting first.
Can I change the art style?
Yes. Edit the prompt for illustrated, painterly, or 3D looks while keeping the same character identity.
What happens to my uploaded photo?
The image is uploaded to the same reference-image workflow used by the ImageStyle generator. Review the current privacy and storage terms before using sensitive material.
