One-Prompt-One-Story: Text Prompts Generate Character Identity Consistent Images

General Introduction

One-Prompt-One-Story (1Prompt1Story) is an innovative text-to-image generation tool designed to enable consistent image generation from a single prompt. It was presented at ICLR 2025 by Tao Liu et al. It uses a training-free approach that generates high-quality images while maintaining consistency in character identity. 1Prompt1Story works with all text-to-image models based on text embeddings and supports multi-character generation, ControlNet-guided generation, and personalized generation. The tool ensures that the generated images are highly consistent with the input description through a single prompted input, combined with singular value re-weighting and identity preserving cross-attention techniques.

Function List

• Consistent Identity Image Generation: Generate images that maintain consistent character identity through a single prompted input.
• Gradio Demo: An online demo is provided for user experience and testing.
• Consistory+ Benchmarking: Contains 200 cue sets, each containing 5 to 10 cues, organized into 8 superclasses.
• Multi-Role Generation: Support for generating images containing multiple characters.
• ControlNet bootstrap generation: Guides the generation process via ControlNet technology.
• Personalization: Support for generating personalized real images based on user requirements.

Main function operation flow

• Consistent Identity Image Generation: Enter a single prompt describing the character's identity and scene in the input box and click the Generate button to get an image that maintains the character's identity.
• Multi-Role Generation: Include multiple role descriptions in the prompt and the tool will automatically generate an image containing all roles.
• ControlNet bootstrap generation: ControlNet-related descriptions are added to the prompts, and the generation process is guided according to ControlNet technology to ensure that the images are highly consistent with the descriptions.
• Personalization: Generate a real image that meets the requirements based on a personalized description entered by the user.
