User Guide

Everything you need to get great results in the studio.

Version 1.0 • October 2026

Introduction

Welcome to 2D Cosplay Studio! This guide covers core creation modes, system limits, and best practices to help you get clean, high-fidelity results every time. 2D Cosplay Studio combines specialized AI pipelines with custom prompt logic to transform your reference artwork.

Creation Modes

Outfit Swap

  • Replaces the outfit on your character reference with the outfit from your style reference.
  • Designed exclusively for humanoid anime/manga characters. Animals, creatures, or non-human silhouettes are not supported.
  • Highly intricate, busy patterns or unconventional accessories may be simplified or adapted during generation.

Pose Swap

  • Transfers your character's appearance into a new pose.
  • Works best with natural, everyday poses; extreme gymnastics, combat foreshortening, or complex contortions may yield lower accuracy.
  • Props (swords, phones, sports gear) held in the pose reference may or may not transfer cleanly to the target character.
Tip: Align your output aspect ratio with the pose reference's aspect ratio to avoid squishing or unnatural proportions.

Outfit + Pose

  • Transfers both the pose and costume from a single reference image onto your target character.

Camera Angle

  • Changes the camera viewpoint around your character while preserving their pose and appearance.
Important: Requires a solid color background (white, black, or flat neutral). Busy environments or detailed backgrounds will cause distortions.

Custom

  • Tailored for intermediate and advanced creators. Write your own instructions to merge characters, modify art styles, alter expressions, or fix fine details.
  • Supports 1 to 5 image references simultaneously.
  • Includes a "Preserve Character Identity" toggle to ensure face, silhouette, and aesthetic consistency.

Uploading & References

  • Supported formats: JPG, PNG, and WebP.
  • Size limit: max 2 MB per uploaded image.
  • Reference sources: upload directly from your device, pick previous generations from your Gallery, or select pre-made characters from the Character Library.

Customization Options

Background Settings

  • Auto: intelligently generates a themed backdrop that complements your character's aesthetic.
  • Custom: enter your own description for the environment.
  • OFF: skips background generation, keeping your reference's natural backdrop.

Aspect Ratio & Resolution
