FAQ

Before you create a character portrait.

What makes this different from a general portrait generator?

The workflow is organized around fiction writing: source evidence, editable visual traits, multiple portrait candidates, and a saved character reference.

What kind of description works best?

A paragraph that includes age, hair, face, clothing, posture, expression, or a distinctive mark gives the most controllable visual profile.

Can I correct the extracted details?

Yes. Profile labels and values are editable before you generate or lock a portrait.

Can I download the result?

The demo supports downloading the selected portrait and a PNG character sheet containing the profile.
