Use cases
One character, many scenes
Reference images let you reuse characters or outfits across different compositions. They provide a consistent visual reference without fixing every shot to the same opening frame.
Wardrobe and product continuity
Use clothing or props as references to help maintain visual continuity across a series. Fine details can still vary, so review each shot before delivery.
Series work for companion and fan projects
Build a reference pack once — face, hair, two outfits — and reuse it for every episode. What the shot is allowed to contain is decided by the model you pick, not by a platform rule.
Frequently asked questions
It differs by model, and the exact ceiling is in that endpoint's live input schema, which the workbench renders as a real form. Do not carry a limit over from a sibling family — sending one image more than a model accepts is a 400 on your first call.
Use a first frame when you already know the opening composition. Use references when you need the same subject across shots you have not composed yet. Several families support both tasks, so you can switch approach without switching platform or key.
No — the Spicy families are image-to-video. If you need identity carry-over and an uncensored result in the same piece, generate the still first with an image model, then animate that still on the image-to-video task.
Check the selected model’s pricing details. Reference inputs may affect billing, so do not assume every model treats them as free. Failed or timed-out tasks are usually not charged. Some models charge for content refusals as stated on their model page; check those billing terms before submitting.
