By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a YouTube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.

Are Kapwing's Consistent Characters free?

Anyone can try generating characters with Kapwing for free, but you will need to upgrade to a Pro account to save them to your Brand Kit and generate with the character multiple times. Upgrading also unlocks the full suite of AI-powered image and video editing tools.

How to create consistent characters

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.

Which AI models does Kapwing use?

Kapwing is integrated with the latest advanced AI models so you can create realistic or stylized characters that stay consistent across every generation. For images, choose between GPT Image, Google Nano Banana, and Seedream, or let Kapwing AI intelligently select the best model for you. For videos featuring your character, Kapwing uses Kling Omni.

What types of projects benefit from consistent character AI?

Consistent AI characters are commonly used for faceless YouTube channels, podcast clips, training videos, brand mascots, social ads, onboarding tutorials, and serialized storytelling. Any project that depends on recognizable recurring characters can benefit from a consistent character workflow.

Businesses also use consistent characters to strengthen branding and make visual content feel more cohesive across platforms and campaigns.

How do I write the best prompt for consistent characters?

Kapwing's Consistent Characters replace the need for complex prompting or re-uploading reference images. Once you save your characters, all you need to do is tag them into your prompt, then describe the image or video you want to create. You can also tag in our pre-built stock characters by typing @.

For example, type a prompt like "Generate a video of @Dracula eating popcorn in a movie theater." Add descriptions for movement, outfits, expressions, camera focus, speech, and background for a more specific result.

What is a consistent AI character?

A consistent AI character is a reusable AI-generated human, avatar, or mascot that keeps the same appearance, voice, and identity across multiple images and videos. Instead of generating a different face every time, consistent character AI helps maintain recognizable features between scenes and projects

Do I need video footage to train my AI character?

No. Kapwing lets you create consistent AI characters using reference images only, without recording or uploading training videos.

Can I edit AI-generated videos after creating them?

Yes. Kapwing includes a full drag-and-drop editor where you can trim scenes, add subtitles, replace backgrounds, add music, edit scripts, and customize your AI-generated videos.

What file formats and aspect ratios can I export?

You can export videos as MP4 files and images as JPEG or PNG.

Kapwing supports popular formats like 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, and more for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, ads, and presentations.

Can I create an AI version of myself?

Yes. Upload reference images and a voice recording of yourself to create an AI clone.
