THREE SIMPLE STEPS
How to make a character reference sheet
Describe the character
Pick a layout, fill in name, age, role, outfit and hair, check the palette taken from the images and write the prompt anchor and the avoid list.
Export and reuse
Download the sheet as a 2048 px PNG to use as a reference image, and the JSON to keep the text for every prompt.
Use the sheet as a reference image in AI video
Seedance 2.5, Wan 3.0 and Kling 4.0 on WaveSpeed AI each take reference images next to your prompt and can make vertical 9:16 video for short dramas. Upload the sheet as a reference image, name it in the prompt the way the model expects, and paste your prompt anchor.
Seedance 2.5
Text-to-video with reference images · Add the sheet under reference images and describe the scene.
- Reference images, videos and audio can be added together
- Native audio with the video, 4 to 30 seconds
- 9:16 vertical up to 4K
In the prompt, call the sheet: @Image 1
Wan 3.0
Reference-to-video · Add the sheet as one of up to 10 reference images.
- Made for character, face and outfit consistency
- Reference videos and audio can be added too
- 9:16 vertical up to 1080p, 2 to 30 seconds
In the prompt, call the sheet: Image 1
Kling 4.0
Reference-to-video · Add the sheet as one of up to 10 reference images.
- Reference videos guide motion, camera and pacing
- Reference audio guides voice and sound
- 9:16 vertical at 720p or 1080p, 3 to 30 seconds
In the prompt, call the sheet: @Image1
- Say what the reference is for, e.g. “The woman from @Image 1 opens the bookshop door at dawn”, then add your prompt anchor.
- Image-to-video starts from your picture as the first frame, so give it a still of the opening shot rather than the sheet, and keep the sheet for reference-to-video.
- Use the same sheet and the same prompt anchor for every episode; change only the scene, the action and the camera.
- Plain backgrounds and even light in your views make the outfit and colours easier for the model to follow.
- Make one sheet per character. For a scene with two characters, add both sheets and refer to each by its number.
Each model’s page lists everything it accepts, its current price and examples.
Character Reference Sheet Maker FAQ
Are my images uploaded?
No. Laying out, labelling, picking colours and exporting all happen in your browser. Your images never leave your device, and the tool works without an account.
What is a character reference sheet?
One image that shows a character from several angles with their name, outfit, hair and colours written next to them. Artists use it to keep a character consistent; AI video models use it as a reference image for the same reason.
Which views should I add?
Front, side and back show the whole outfit; a three-quarter view and a close-up show the face. For AI video, a clear front view and a close-up help the most. You can add up to six images and label each one.
What is the prompt anchor?
A short paragraph that describes the character the same way every time. Paste it into each prompt together with the sheet so every shot starts from the same description. Draft from fields writes a first version from what you filled in.
How are the palette colours chosen?
From images takes the main colours of your pictures and leaves out a plain backdrop. Pick from sheet adds the colour you click on the preview, and Add colour lets you choose any colour. Click a swatch to change it.
What is in the JSON file?
The name, age, role, outfit, hair, palette, prompt anchor, avoid list (also as one line for negative prompt fields), the layout and the view labels. Open a saved JSON to bring the text back and keep editing.
What size is the PNG?
2048 pixels on the long side: 2048 × 1152 for 1 × 3, 2048 × 1536 for 2 × 3 and 2048 × 1792 for hero + details.
