Make a chibi character who sticks around
Big head, tiny body, the same face every time: a chibi who stars in Scenes and Clips instead of retiring after one sticker.

How to make a chibi
Describe a character, or add your own photo, and ask for a chibi Look: big head, small body, simple shapes. Character App builds a Character that keeps its hair, colours and signature accessory in every Scene, so the chibi in today's Clip is the chibi in next week's. Film them in cozy skits, reaction bits or a whole cute series, or put the same Character in an anime or 3D World when the story needs it.

Same Character, any Look
Meet Milo Fenn, an original Character made for these pages: 6 Looks, one face. Every World has its own Look; put the same Character into another World and the Character underneath stays the same.

Original character made for Character App’s character pages. Clips filmed with H3 Max Turbo, the Clip model in Character App; Looks drawn with gpt-image-2.5 from one portrait.
The character sheet
Before Momo is in a single Scene, there is a sheet: front, three-quarter and back views, plus the expressions the story will need. It is how we design a Character and how Character App keeps Momo consistent from Clip to Clip, in every Look.
It is not a download. You never manage a reference sheet yourself, and the app does not export a turnaround file; the Cast keeps the Character on-model in the Scenes you direct.
Momo lives in your Characters
Every Character you make keeps its Looks in one place, one for each World’s Look. Use Momo in a new World and the Cast brings the same face into that World’s Look, in every Scene and Clip.

Chibi is a Look, not a sticker pack
Most chibi makers hand you one adorable picture, and the next one has different hair. That's fine for a sticker and hopeless for a series. In Character App a chibi is a Character with a chibi Look: the same bangs, the same oversized bow, the same slightly worried eyebrows, reused in every Scene. It moves, too. Your chibi can trip over a cat, win a staring contest with a goose, or eat a whole cake in a filmed Clip.
What makes a chibi read
Proportions
A head about as big as the body, tiny hands, short legs. Say it plainly in the description.
One oversized accessory
A giant bow, a star clip, a hoodie with ears. At chibi scale, the accessory is half the identity.
Simple colours
Two or three flat colours per Character. Busy patterns turn to mush at this size.
Big expressions
Chibi comedy lives in the face: huge tears, sparkly eyes, a mouth wider than the head. Direct the feeling, not the subtlety.
Chibi you
Add your own photo and ask for a chibi version: your hair, your glasses, your favourite jumper, at one-third scale. Friends can join with their permission; the content policy requires the person in the photo or their written consent. For stories about kids, invent original chibis instead of uploading their photos. Character App is for members 17 and over.
One Character, more than one Look
Chibi is often the comedy version of a bigger Character. Keep a chibi World for the skits and put the same Character in an anime or stylized 3D World for the dramatic arc. The anchors travel, so the audience knows it's the same person. Cut from the serious anime Episode to the chibi skit and the joke lands twice.

Questions, answered
Still curious? Using your own photo and the guides go deeper.
Can I turn my own photo into a chibi?
Yes. Add a clear photo of yourself and ask for a chibi Look; the Character keeps your hair, colouring and signature details.
Is this just one image, or a Character I keep?
A Character you keep. It lives in your Cast and appears the same way in every Scene and Episode.
Can a chibi appear in a real Scene, not just a sticker?
Yes. Each Scene becomes a moving Clip, so your chibi can run, trip, cry and celebrate on film.
Can I mix chibi with other styles for the same Character?
Yes. Put the same Character in a chibi World for skits and an anime or 3D World for the drama.
Can I make chibi versions of my friends or my pet?
Pets, absolutely. Friends need to agree: the content policy requires the person in the photo or their written consent.
Can I make a chibi of a famous anime character?
No. Invent your own; original chibis also make better running jokes.
