What is character consistency?

Character consistency is an AI generator's ability to keep the same person recognizable across many separate images and videos, instead of producing a new face with every prompt.

Most text-to-image models start from scratch on every prompt, so the same description returns a different face each time. Consistency has to come from something the model is given, usually reference photos of the person, not from wording the prompt more carefully.

On AIGE, a character is a saved record with a name, an avatar and a gallery of reference photos. Every image or video you generate with that character selected carries its ID and photos to the model, so the face holds while the scene, outfit and pose change. The AIGE Agent can also create a character from an attached photo when you give it a name.

It is a strong anchor, not a lock: extreme angles or heavy stylization can still shift small details. The same character carries into video and the Fitting Room, so you build the identity once and reuse it everywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my AI character's face change between images?

Most generators treat every prompt as a fresh start, and nothing tells the model which face to keep. Reusing the same reference photos for every generation is what holds the identity.

Does character consistency work for video too?

On AIGE, yes. The same saved character is passed to video generation, so the person in your clips matches the person in your images.

How many reference photos do I need?

A few is enough to start. You can keep adding photos to the character's gallery over time.
