Features & Capabilities

PortraitWorks™ makes it easy to create great custom portraits for your D&D and other fantasy characters.

This is not just another app using AI to create semi-random images. Every art element was hand-drawn by our team of professional artists, and you have total control over what goes into your portrait.

There are two ways to make a portrait:

  1. Create from scratch in 6 easy steps: role, body, hair, style, gear, and background. Then, optionally Edit for more detailed control of any element of the portrait.
  2. Choose from thousands of curated portraits in the Gallery. These portraits can be customized with the same Edit controls.

Make each portrait your own, with:

  • All the classes from the Player’s Handbook, plus NPCs and more
  • Millions of unique faces combining individual features and hairstyles, representing different races, ethnic groups, ages, and genders (including non-binary)
  • Gear, weapons, spells, and familiars appropriate for a wide range of character classes and professions
  • Nearly unlimited outfit possibilities from multiple layers of clothing, armor, helmets, hats, and jewelry
  • A large collections of backgrounds from textural to scenic
  • Color control of nearly every element

All features are free except for Export and Favorite. You can pay to unlock those per role, or for all roles at once.

Use your portraits on DnD character sheets, virtual tabletop tokens, mugs, tshirts, or anywhere else you can imagine. Publisher license for commercial use available separately.

User Reviews

PortraitWorks offers deep, hand-drawn character portrait customization ideal for RPGs and quick NPC creation, with active development and strong DM-focused features. However, users repeatedly report update-induced regressions (lost or altered hairstyles/colors), monetization frustrations (pay walls and watermark issues), and occasional bugs affecting performance and saved work. Feature gaps like cosmetic elements (glasses, scars) are also noted. Overall, it’s powerful and popular for RPG use, but its update reliability and monetization model are common pain points.
Pros
  • Deep, hand-drawn style with extensive customization options for characters
  • Excellent for RPG/D&D use: create NPCs, PCs, and tokens; DM-friendly and widely used
  • Active development and responsive community support (frequent updates, Discord help)
  • Strong export capabilities: generate portraits with frames/backgrounds and export images
  • Good value: core features are usable for free with paid expansions to unlock more
Cons
  • Updates have removed or altered hairstyles/colors and even reshuffled saved portraits, breaking work
  • Reliance on in-app purchases; many desirable features require buying; watermark behavior can be annoying
  • Bugs and performance issues after updates (restarts, crashes, slowdowns, unpredictable changes to saved assets)
  • Missing or limited cosmetic features that players want (e.g., glasses, scars, birthmarks) and some UI gaps

I NEVER write reviews on apps but had to for this one. I have been looking for non-ai solutions to creating portraits for my notable NPCs for my players because unfortunately my patience is nonexistent so learning to draw is out ha. But then I found this app, hand drawn, so many options and highly customizable. Get it and support real artists! Just a one time fee of $10 to get all features but can be used free too.

Been using PortraitWorks for my dnd characters for YEARS and I’m happy they still update the app relatively frequently! To this day, it’s probably my favorite thing I’ve backed on kickstarter

I know I’m glazing but this app has so much customization options and I’ve loved making my players and villains icons
