One identity, infinite shots
Lock face, hair and wardrobe from a single reference. Re-generate the same character in any pose, angle or outfit and they stay recognizable — no more 'cousin of the character' problem on shot 4.
Character Studio
Upload one photo and get that person back as a five-view character sheet — full body, 3/4 portrait, three expressions.
Everything you need
Clean white background, every time
Outputs land on a pure white background so you can mask, composite and drop the character into any scene, product shot or storyboard without extra cleanup.
A full sheet in a single pass
Dial in the visual style — realistic, anime, claymation, 3D Pixar — and one generation returns the whole sheet: a full-body shot, a 3/4 portrait, and three expressions, instead of fighting prompts shot by shot.
Plugs straight into the rest of Pika
Send your locked character into Image-to-Video to animate them, into Short Film Studio as the lead, or into Product Ad as the spokesperson. The same identity carries across every app.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a real person as a reference?
Yes — upload a clear photo (yourself, an actor, a model) and the app will lock that identity. Only use likenesses you have the right to use.
How consistent is the character across shots?
Very consistent. Face, hair and proportions are pinned to your reference, so re-generating new angles, outfits or expressions keeps the same person rather than a similar-looking one.
Why is the background always white?
Clean white backgrounds make masking and compositing trivial. You can drop the character into any scene, product shot or video without spending time cutting them out.
Can I animate the character?
Yes. Send any generated character straight into Image-to-Video, Short Film Studio or Product Ad and the same locked identity carries through.
Do I need to re-create the character every session?
No. Save the character to your library and re-use it across projects and other Pika apps whenever you need them on screen.
