Consistent Cartoon Characters, Every Scene

Keep consistent cartoon characters without prompt tricks. Describe your hero once and Atlabs keeps the same face, hair, outfit and voice from close-up to wide shot, day to night and episode one to fifty.

Start however suits you best

Bring your characters to life from an idea or a script

Start from a quick idea, a story you wrote or a full script. Your cast stays locked in every scene.

Rough Idea

Just a quick character idea

Describe who your character is and what happens to them. The AI designs the look, writes the story and keeps that exact design in every scene it creates.

Juno, a curly-haired girl in a yellow raincoat, follows a paper boat from her street to the sea.

Most Popular

Your story with your own cast

Paste a story with as many characters as you need. Each one is built once, then every line becomes a scene where everyone looks exactly like themselves, even in a crowd.

Juno waved at Mr Pike the baker. He tossed her a warm bun. "Same as always?" he asked. "Same as always," she grinned.

Full Script

A full shot-by-shot script

Planned every shot, angle and line already? Paste your script. Atlabs follows each scene exactly and keeps every character on model, whatever the camera does.

SHOT 12: Wide, rooftop at dusk. JUNO (back to camera): "There's the lighthouse."

How It Works

From character idea to on-model cartoon in 4 steps

Paste your idea, story, or script

Paste an idea, story or script with your characters in it, like a lone hero, two best friends or a big family cast.

STEP 1

Choose a style & aspect ratio

Pick the style your characters live in, like 3D cartoon or flat 2D, then choose 16:9 or 9:16 for where you will share the video.

STEP 2

Lock characters, worlds, & props

Check each character's design, then lock their face, hair, outfit and voice, so they stay on model in every scene you make from now on.

STEP 3

Generate, refine, and publish

Generate the video, check every character matches, change any scene, then reuse the same cast in your next video.

STEP 4

Locked once, on model forever

The same character in every shot, angle and episode

This is what Atlabs is built for. Lock a character once and their face, proportions, colours, outfit and voice stay identical across scenes and videos, so you stop regenerating shots and start telling the story.

Character consistency

Create a character once and Atlabs keeps their look and voice identical in every scene and every episode, so your audience always knows who they are watching without a second glance.

Location consistency

Every place keeps the same layout, colours and lighting each time you return to it, so your story plays out in one believable world and viewers always feel at home in it.

Object and prop consistency

Key objects keep the same shape, colour and details in every scene they appear in, so small story elements stay easy to spot and easy to follow from start to finish.

What Creators Say

What creators say about keeping characters consistent

Other tools gave my character a new face in every shot, and I spent hours regenerating. With Atlabs I locked her once and she looks the same in thirty episodes. I finally just write.

Kids' Animation Channel Creator, London, United Kingdom

My picture book has five animal characters, and all five look exactly like my illustrations in every scene. Readers recognised them instantly when we shared the first animated story.

Our mascot used to look slightly different in every ad. Now it is on brand in every scene and every video, and the team no longer needs to check each frame by hand.

FAQ

Questions about consistent cartoon characters

How do I make consistent cartoon characters with AI?

Describe your character once, or let the AI design them from your story, then lock them. Atlabs keeps their look and voice in every scene and video. Sign up free and create your first locked character today.

Do characters stay the same from different angles?

Yes. Close-ups, wide shots, side views and crowd scenes all keep the same face, proportions, colours and outfit, so the camera can move freely around them.

Can I keep several characters consistent at once?

Yes. Lock as many characters as your story needs, from two friends to a whole class, and Atlabs keeps each one distinct and identical in every scene.

Can I reuse my characters in new videos?

Yes. Save your cast and add them to any new story, episode or Short, and they keep the same look and voice. Translate any video into 40+ languages too.

Can I change a scene after the video is made?

Yes. Edit any scene on its own: fix an expression, change a line or move a character. Regenerate just that scene and your characters stay exactly the same.
