Neutral, smiling, thoughtful and surprised portraits put the face and personality alongside the body reference.

BEFORE YOU GENERATE

What belongs on a character reference sheet?

A useful reference sheet gives another artist enough information to recognize and redraw the character. Include readable body angles, a clear face, recurring clothing and accessories. Add a short brief for details hidden by the original image, such as the back of a coat. CharaFold creates visual starting points from your reference; it does not replace a final character design review.

  1. Upload one clear character, with the face and outfit visible.
  2. Describe identity, clothing and hidden details in the brief.
  3. Compare every view before exporting the image set.

A FEW PRACTICAL DETAILS

Before
you begin.

View character packs
Can I make a reference sheet from a portrait?

Yes. Describe the clothing, footwear and body proportions that are missing from the portrait. Those details are inferred by AI, so review the full-body views carefully.

Can I use an original character or OC?

Yes, if you own the reference or have permission to use it. Keep distinctive features in the brief and review whether they survive each angle.

Does it produce exact technical model sheets?

It produces AI-generated visual references. Proportions and small details may vary between images; it is not a dimensionally exact orthographic modeling tool.

What files can I download?

PNG, WebP or JPG image files, a labeled PNG contact sheet, and an optional plain-text character brief inside a ZIP.

How long are my images available?

Uploaded references and generated images are automatically deleted 24 hours after each file is saved. Download your files before the expiry time shown in your workspace.
