Change the world without changing the character.

The Background Editor allows you to place your character into completely new environments, while keeping the character fully consistent. Instead of regenerating everything from scratch, you simply change the world around them.
Let’s walk through it.

Step 1: Create or Select Your Character

Before using the Background Editor, make sure you have your reference character ready.
If you haven’t created one yet:
  1. Go to Character Turbo
  1. Enter a simple prompt
  1. Choose style and aspect ratio
  1. Click Generate
Once you’re happy with your character, move to the next step.

Step 2: Open Background Editor

Navigate to the orange button called Background Editor on your generated character image.
Your character will now be used as a reference image automatically.
All you need to do is describe the new environment.

Alternatively, you can go directly from your dashboard to the left-side menu, click on Background Editor, and upload the image for which you want to change the background.

Step 3: Enter a Background Prompt

Simply type your chosen prompt and click Generate.
The system will produce new image results with your character placed in the new environment.
