Find a known height
Use your character art

Choose a figure's “Art and details”, then add a full-body PNG. Trim to the head and feet so the stated height matches the drawing.

To keep your pictures with the lineup, save it below: it reopens with each picture and its trims, in this browser or from the downloaded file. A share link uses the outline instead.

Build a character lineup with labels, notes and your own art.

Save this lineup

Keep lineups in this browser and come back to them. Names, heights, colours, notes and the pictures you added are saved. Download them as a file to move them to another browser or keep a copy. Nothing is sent to us.

    Heights that feel real

    “Like real US adults” picks each height from a bell curve fitted to the percentiles the CDC measured in 2021–2023, so most people land near the middle and very tall or very short people are rare, as in life. A range gives every height in it the same chance.

    For your characters

    Rename anyone in the lineup, swap an outline, or upload full-body art under “Art and details”; it is scaled to the height you give it. The character lineup guide and writing guide show how to describe the gaps.

    Keep the lineup

    Save PNG keeps the drawing with names and heights; Share lineup makes a link that reopens it. Nothing you generate is stored on our server.
