Generate consistent characters

Until recently, the best way to generate images of a consistent character was from a trained lora. You would need to create a dataset of images and then train a FLUX lora on them . If you want to go back further, you might remember having to use a ComfyUI workflow. A workflow that would combine SDXL, controlnets, IPAdapters and some non-commercial face landmark models. Things have got remarkably simpler. Today we have a choice of state of the art image models that can do this accurately from a single reference. In this blog post we’ll highlight which models can do this, and which is best depending on your needs. she is wearing a pink t-shirt with the text “Replicate” on it Original “she is wearing a pink t-shirt with the text “Replicate” on it” The best models for consistent characters As of July 2025, there are four models on Replicate that can create a realistic and accurate output from a single reference.
