Character Reference to Animation
Animate a character from its reference sheet — identity anchored to the image, motion directed from a plain-words brief.
Describe the asset you need, choose a style and aspect ratio, and Esy runs the clip.art image workflow. The workflow resolves the provider prompt, generates the image with gpt-image-2, removes the background with birefnet-light when enabled, and returns a review-ready visual artifact.

How this workflow runs
Inside the workflow
Start with the subject, style, aspect ratio, and whether you want the background removed.
Esy turns the rough description into a structured image prompt the model can follow.
A friendly fox waving
A friendly fox waving, flat vector clip art, isolated object, clean edges, centered composition, no text.
The image is generated with gpt-image-2 using the transformed prompt and selected style.
When enabled, background removal creates a cleaner isolated asset for download or review.
The final result includes the image files plus the prompt, model, style, and run history.
