The Character Library makes it easy to create, organize, and reuse characters across all of your books. With everything stored in one centralized place, you can quickly browse your saved characters, maintain consistency throughout your stories, and bring new ideas to life faster while creating books.

Click on "My Characters."
Click on "+ Add a Character."

You can either manually enter the character's description or click “AI Suggest” to let Scrively generate one for you.
A character type will be automatically set based on the provided name which can be adjusted.
Upload the character's photo.
Use the crop image tool to determine what part of the image to focus on.

Select who's in the image to help us tailor your experience.
Click on "Drawing Style."
⚠️ When you change an uploaded character's style, that style will be preserved when the character is added to a book, even if the book uses a different style. If you want the character to match the book's style, do not modify the character style here.
The styles available to you will be based on your plan level. The Starter plan includes one style. One-time purchases include one style in each category. The Plus plan includes three styles per category, while the Pro plan unlocks all styles.
