Character Reference Sheet Maker FAQ
Are my images uploaded?
No. Laying out, labelling, picking colours and exporting all happen in your browser. Your images never leave your device, and the tool works without an account.
What is a character reference sheet?
One image that shows a character from several angles with their name, outfit, hair and colours written next to them. Artists use it to keep a character consistent; AI video models use it as a reference image for the same reason.
Which views should I add?
Front, side and back show the whole outfit; a three-quarter view and a close-up show the face. For AI video, a clear front view and a close-up help the most. You can add up to six images and label each one.
What is the prompt anchor?
A short paragraph that describes the character the same way every time. Paste it into each prompt together with the sheet so every shot starts from the same description. Draft from fields writes a first version from what you filled in.
How are the palette colours chosen?
From images takes the main colours of your pictures and leaves out a plain backdrop. Pick from sheet adds the colour you click on the preview, and Add colour lets you choose any colour. Click a swatch to change it.
What is in the JSON file?
The name, age, role, outfit, hair, palette, prompt anchor, avoid list (also as one line for negative prompt fields), the layout and the view labels. Open a saved JSON to bring the text back and keep editing.
What size is the PNG?
2048 pixels on the long side: 2048 × 1152 for 1 × 3, 2048 × 1536 for 2 × 3 and 2048 × 1792 for hero + details.
