CharacterGen is an AI character generator that creates complete character design packages from an image upload or a text description.

CharacterGen helps creators produce consistent cartoon and animation-ready character reference materials in a single workflow. You start by either uploading a character image or describing your OC with details such as style, notable features, hair and eye color, and outfit preferences. From that input, CharacterGen generates professional design references you can use directly in your drawing process.

What you can generate

A single generation produces a full character design package, including:

• Turnaround views for clear front/side/back character proportions
• An expression sheet with multiple emotional variations (6 emotional variations)
• A pose collection with common standing, sitting, walking, and running actions
• Outfit design details, including outfit variations
• Proportion settings to support consistent head-to-body ratio and harmonious multi-character scenes

How generation works

CharacterGen is designed to be usable without AI experience. You can upload or describe your character, then the tool auto-generates the design assets. The full package is typically created in about 2–3 minutes, followed by a short download step.

CharacterGen also supports multiple download formats for reference use: PNG, JPG, and PDF.

Plans and credits

CharacterGen uses a credit system. All plans include the same core feature set; they differ by monthly credits and generation allowances.

• Free: 10 credits
• Starter: $16.90/month ($13.50/month billed monthly) with 300 credits/month (at least 75 character generations/month)
• Standard (Popular): $45/month ($36/month billed monthly) with 800 credits/month (at least 200 character generations/month)
• Premium: $112.50/month ($90/month billed monthly) with 2,000 credits/month (at least 500 character generations/month)

Credits are consumed per generation based on complexity, and monthly plan credits reset on the 1st of each month (unused credits do not carry over). One-time credit packs have expiration windows (30/90/365 days).

Best fit

CharacterGen is well suited for:

• Novel, manga, game, and production work where the same character needs consistent visual traits across scenes
• Artists who want complete reference packs (turnarounds + expressions + poses + outfits), not just single images
• Creators who prefer a simple “upload or describe” prompt flow
