Create a custom character

Create custom characters from descriptions or images to use in your videos

Updated this week

Create a custom character to match a specific look, vibe, or role when our stock characters aren’t quite right. Custom characters can be people, animals, creatures, ghouls, and anything in between. You can create a custom character in the My Videos tab or during the video creation and character selection process.

Create a custom character from 'My Videos' tab

  1. Open My videos → click New Character.

  2. Upload an image or write a description, give the character a name, then select Generate Character.

  3. Refine the description details to nail the exact look.

  4. When you’re satisfied, click Create Character.

Your new character is ready to cast in your next video!

  5. Refine the description details to get the exact look.

  6. Click Create Character.

Your new character is cast in the video you’re creating.
