Place a character into any scene with Character pin

Character pin lets you place a character into any scene while preserving their appearance, color, and artistic style.

It works with any kind of reference image: a photo, drawing, 3D render, or stylized illustration. The generated image will inherit the style of your character automatically.

This is perfect for placing characters into different settings without redrawing or reposing them manually.

How to use it

1. Choose a model that supports Character pin (see the list below)

2. Add the character image with the + tile at the start of the image row, or drag it onto the page or paste it

3. Click the image's thumbnail and set Role to Reference and Method to Character pin

4. Describe the scene in your prompt

5. Click the round arrow button to generate

How it works

The system uses your reference image as the character and places it into the generated scene. It preserves the character's look (face, hair, body proportions and outfit details), color palette, and drawing style. The result inherits the artistic style of your reference image. Your prompt defines the setting and environment around the character. The result shows one character unless your prompt asks for more.

You can use one pin per request: a Character pin or a Product pin. It can be combined with Image to Prompt images, but not with Instruct, Scene or Sketch: whichever you add later is dimmed and left out of the request.

Model compatibility

The Method menu in an image's settings offers only what the selected model supports. Methods the model doesn't support are greyed out.

As of November 2026, these Base Models support Character pin: FLUX 3 Image, Flux.1 Kontext, GPT Image 2, GPT Image 2.6 Flare, GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst, Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana 2.1, Nano Banana Pro and Riverflow 2.5 Pro. Artist Styles, Private Styles and video models don't, and some models that support Instruct have no pins. Where Character pin isn't supported, it is greyed out in the Method menu.
