Keep the same character across every shot
A consistent character generator locks a generated person's appearance so they can be placed in new scenes and shots while remaining recognisably the same character.

Process
How it works
01
Create or supply the character
Generate a face, or start from reference images you have rights to.
02
Lock the reference
The saved reference is what every later generation anchors to.
03
Place them in new scenes
Describe the setting; the character stays the same.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a consistent character in AI generation?
It is a generated person whose appearance stays stable across separate generations. Without it, each generation invents a new face; with it, the same character can appear in shot after shot, which is what a series or a recurring presenter needs.
How is consistency achieved?
By anchoring every generation to reference images of the character rather than to a description alone. The reference does the work that words cannot.
Can I use it for video?
Yes — a consistent character is what makes a recurring presenter or an ongoing series possible rather than a one-off clip.
Can I base a character on a real person?
Only with their permission. Generating a likeness of someone who has not agreed to it is a rights problem, not a technical one.
How many reference images do I need?
A few good ones from different angles beat many similar shots. Variety in pose and lighting is what makes the likeness hold.
