How to Train Custom AI Models - Complete Guide
Upload Training Dataset
Prepare 15-30 high-quality images that represent your art style, character, or concept. Your training dataset should showcase consistent visual elements, lighting, and quality. Each image teaches the AI model to recognize and replicate your unique style patterns.
Configure Model Training Settings
Set your trigger words, select the base AI model, and adjust fine-tuning parameters. Trigger words are unique keywords that activate your custom trained model during image generation, ensuring precise control over when your style is applied.
Monitor AI Training Progress
Track your custom AI model training in real-time with live progress updates, training loss graphs, and epoch visualization. Most LoRA model training completes in 30-60 minutes, with automatic optimization ensuring the best results.
Generate with Your Trained Model
Once AI model training completes, your custom model integrates seamlessly with all image generation tools. Simply use your trigger words in prompts to generate images in your trained style with perfect consistency and quality.

Optimized Training Strategies by Model Type:
Focus training dataset on facial features, distinctive clothing, hair style, and body proportions. Use diverse poses, expressions, and angles. Include close-ups and full-body shots. Aim for 20-25 images showing character from multiple perspectives.
Include variety in subjects while maintaining consistent artistic techniques. Focus on brush strokes, color palettes, shading techniques, and compositional elements. Use 25-30 images showcasing your style across different subjects and scenes.
Show the concept from multiple angles, lighting conditions, and contexts. Include variations while maintaining core identifying features. Use 15-20 focused images that clearly demonstrate the concept you want the AI to learn and replicate.
Common Training Mistakes to Avoid:
- ✗ Using low-resolution or blurry training images
- ✗ Mixing inconsistent art styles in dataset
- ✗ Including watermarked or copyrighted images

- ✗ Choosing generic trigger words that conflict with prompts
- ✗ Using too few images (under 10 images)
- ✗ Not testing models during training process
- ✗ Ignoring training loss indicators
Custom AI Model Training FAQ
How long does it take to train a custom AI model?
LoRA model training typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on dataset size and complexity. Training time varies based on the number of images (15-30 recommended), base model selection, and training parameters. You can monitor real-time training progress with live loss curves and epoch updates. Simpler models with fewer images may complete in 20-30 minutes, while complex style models can take up to 90 minutes.
How many images do I need to train a LoRA model?
For optimal results, use 15-30 high-quality training images. Character models work best with 20-25 images showing different poses and angles. Art style models benefit from 25-30 diverse images. Concept models typically need 15-20 focused images. Quality matters more than quantity - well-chosen, high-resolution images produce significantly better results than large datasets of inconsistent or low-quality images.
What's the difference between LoRA and DreamBooth training?
LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) fine-tunes only specific model layers, creating small 10-200MB files that train in 30-60 minutes. DreamBooth performs full model fine-tuning, creating 2-7GB files requiring 1-3 hours of training. LoRA models can be stacked together, are easier to share, and produce comparable quality to DreamBooth while being more efficient. LoRA is the recommended method for most users due to its speed and flexibility.
Can I train AI on my own art style?
Yes! Training AI on your unique art style is one of the most popular use cases. Upload 25-30 examples of your artwork showing your distinctive style, techniques, color palettes, and compositional choices. The AI learns to replicate your artistic signature, enabling you to generate new artwork in your style while maintaining authenticity. This is perfect for scaling your creative output or exploring variations of your work.
How do I use trigger words with custom trained models?
Trigger words are unique keywords you assign during model training that activate your custom model during generation. Choose memorable, specific trigger words like "mystyle", character names, or unique identifiers. During image generation, include your trigger word in the prompt (e.g., "mystyle portrait of a warrior") to activate your trained model. Avoid common words that might interfere with other prompt elements.
Can I share my trained AI models with others?
Absolutely! You can make your custom trained models public for the community to use, or keep them private for personal/team use only. Public models help other creators discover your style while showcasing your work. All shared models include proper attribution and usage tracking. You retain full control over your model's visibility and can switch between public and private at any time.
What image formats are supported for AI model training?
Anifusion supports JPG, PNG, and WEBP image formats for training datasets. Images should be minimum 512x512 pixels, with 1024x1024 or higher strongly recommended for best results. Higher resolution training images produce more detailed and accurate models. Ensure images are clean, properly cropped, and showcase the features you want the AI to learn. Consistent aspect ratios across your dataset improve training quality.
Can I train multiple AI models for different styles?
Yes! Train unlimited custom models for different characters, art styles, concepts, or brands. Each model operates independently with its own trigger words and settings. You can also combine multiple LoRA models during generation by using multiple trigger words in a single prompt, creating unique blends of different styles. This flexibility makes it easy to manage diverse creative projects simultaneously.
What if my custom AI model training fails?
If training fails, you can retry with adjusted settings or an improved dataset. Common issues include inconsistent image quality, too few training images, conflicting trigger words, or incompatible base model selection. Review error messages for specific guidance. Our automatic validation checks your dataset before training begins, catching most issues early. Contact support for help troubleshooting persistent training failures.
Do I need technical knowledge to train custom AI models?
No technical expertise required! Anifusion's custom AI model training platform is designed for creators, not engineers. Simply upload your images, choose trigger words, and start training with optimized presets. Advanced users can adjust learning rates, epoch counts, and other parameters, but preset configurations work excellently for most use cases. Our guided workflow walks you through each step with helpful tooltips and recommendations.
How much does custom AI model training cost?
Custom LoRA model training is included with Anifusion Pro and Enterprise plans. Training costs are based on computational resources used - typically 1-2 credits per training session depending on dataset size and complexity. Once trained, using your custom models for generation incurs standard generation costs. Trained models are stored permanently in your account and can be used unlimited times without additional training fees.
Can I fine-tune models for commercial use?
Yes! Custom models trained on your original artwork or properly licensed content can be used for commercial projects. Ensure your training dataset contains only content you own rights to or have permission to use. Commercial use is included in Pro and Enterprise plans. Generated images using your custom trained models are yours to use commercially, subject to Anifusion's standard terms of service.
