Experiment with genres and styles: Don’t stick to one look. Try generating your character as “cyberpunk,” “high fantasy,” “anime,” or “photorealistic.”
Use vivid adjectives: Descriptive words change everything—think, “gritty detective” or “cheerful space explorer.”
Think like a storyteller: Include emotions, settings, and poses to bring your character’s story to life.

AI character generator FAQs

What is an AI character generator?
An AI character generator is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to create a visual representation of a character based on your text descriptions. You simply describe the character's appearance, style, and setting, and the AI brings your idea to life as a image.
What artistic styles can the AI character generator create?
You can create characters in a vast range of styles. Our AI is trained to understand prompts for styles like 3D, artistic, fantasy world, and many more. Just choose the style you want.
How does QuillBot’s AI character generator actually work?
In simple terms, the AI is trained on millions of image-text pairs to understand how visual concepts relate to words. When you write a prompt, it begins with a field of random static and methodically refines it, layer by layer, to build a new character that matches your text. It’s not blending existing art; it's generating a completely original image.
How do I write a good character prompt for the best results?
Be descriptive! Instead of just “a wizard,” try “a wise old wizard with a kind, weathered face and a long white beard, wearing star-patterned blue robes, casting a soft, glowing spell in his library, detailed portrait, fantasy.”
For the best results with character prompts, include details about the character's appearance, personality/mood, setting/pose, and the desired character style.
What kind of file will I get when I download my character?
You will receive a high-resolution PNG file. This is a standard, high-quality image format that is perfect for both use on websites and social media and creating high-quality prints.
Can I create the same character in different poses or scenes?
Achieving 100% character consistency across different images is a complex task for any AI. However, you can get very similar results by re-using the most specific and unique parts of your original prompt (like a unique name, a specific scar, or an unusual piece of clothing) and then changing the action or pose.
