Ideogram has launched a new feature called Ideogram Character, allowing users to generate consistent characters from a single input image. The tool is now available through the Character tab on the Ideogram platform and is primarily geared toward creators working with photorealistic facial generation. This feature extends Ideogram's capabilities beyond text-to-image, positioning it closer to personalized visual generation workflows like those seen in Luma Dream Machine and Pika Labs.
With Ideogram Character, users can upload a well-lit reference photo鈥攑referably a frontal or 戮 view鈥攁nd apply prompts to generate images of that character in different styles, settings, or poses. The tool is designed to prioritize facial and hair consistency, with masking options that let users include neck, clothing, or exclude hair depending on the desired effect. For those seeking stylized results, a Fiction mode is also available.
This new capability also integrates with Ideogram's Magic Fill tool, enabling advanced face swaps. Users can mask specific areas of an image and insert their Ideogram Character into any scene using prompts. Combined with the Describe and Remix tools, users can not only replicate the composition and lighting of reference images but also control how strictly the new image should follow the original via a Remix weight slider.
The company behind this release, Ideogram, has become known for its image generation engine optimized for high-quality, detailed visuals. With this update, Ideogram is further solidifying its position among AI visual generation platforms by targeting workflows where identity consistency and scene integration are essential鈥攕uch as comic-style storytelling, virtual branding, or personalized avatar creation. The feature is currently available on the web and intended for early access users before broader rollout.
