AI Character Generator

To create an AI generated character, start by opening a new chat with Kapwing AI. Enter a prompt describing your character, including details about age, facial features, body type, clothing, and setting. Click the generate arrow to create the image, then download it.

Click @ in the prompt box and select "Add character" from the dropdown. Select "Create new character". Give your character a name and description, and choose a voice from our stock library or upload reference files to create a voice clone. Finally, attach the reference image(s) of your character and save. After saving, you can use your character in any video or image project by tagging them in your prompt.

You can also upload a character image from your device instead of generating through Kapwing AI.

AI character generators like Kapwing are used across industries for storytelling, branding, education, advertising, gaming, and social media. Game developers create concept art, marketers build recurring brand mascots, educators create engaging explainers, and creators produce consistent UGC-style videos without filming new footage every time.

Because AI characters can be reused across images and videos, they’re also valuable for scalable content production. Businesses use them for localized campaigns, creators use them for virtual influencers, and hobbyists use them for D&D campaigns, comics, and personal creative projects. Kapwing’s workflow combines character creation, editing, subtitling, dubbing, and video production in one platform, making it easier to move from concept to publish-ready content.

A strong AI character description generator prompt usually includes details about appearance, personality, clothing, pose, setting, and visual style. The more specific your prompt is, the more control you have over the final output. Helpful details include age range, hairstyle, lighting, facial features, camera angle, mood, accessories, art style, and environment.

For example, instead of writing “fantasy warrior,” you could write: “A battle-worn fantasy knight with silver armor, glowing blue eyes, braided hair, cinematic lighting, standing in a snowy mountain village.” You can also upload reference images to guide the AI character image generator.

Kapwing's AI Character Generator uses the latest advanced AI models. To generate your character reference images, choose between Seedream, Google Nano Banana, and GPT Image, or let Kapwing AI automatically pick the best model for you. For high quality, realistic video generations with your characters, Kapwing uses Kling Omni.
