How to create your character with AI in minutes

Ever since AI started jumping into the world of image generation and design, these tools just keep leveling up—bringing us features that are smarter and way more useful.

There’s always been that question: how much of an AI creation feels like you, and how much is just the machine? It’s that fine line between technology and personal touch. But now, imagine if AI could actually start to understand your unique vision—if you could teach it exactly how you want things done. Those creations would feel more like yours than ever.

With our AI Image Generator, you can now create custom models based on your own style and your own characters.

Let’s see what that actually means.

Customizing the AI

How does this work? Super straightforward. You want to generate AI images with a certain style or a particular character. You just toss in a few reference images that capture the essence of what you’re going for—maybe it’s a graffiti style or a game character that’s got real personality. Whatever it is, our AI Image Generator now takes those details and keeps them locked in across everything it creates.

  • Custom Styles and Custom Characters only work with Flux and Mystic.
  • Start by naming your #Style or @Character—give it a name that feels right!
  • Upload your references. Make sure to include a mix of angles and perspectives. We recommend between 12 and 24 images for the best results.
  • Pick the quality level. Higher quality means better adherence but also uses more credits.
  • Finally, include specific details in your prompts to guide the AI and get the perfect outcome.

Here are some examples of Freepik's AI Custom Styles and Characters. You could call this “training the AI,” and, yeah, that’s exactly what it is—but the process is as simple as it gets. The goal? Total consistency in every image generated.
