+AniList character data is fetched via public GraphQL queries — no account or access token is needed. AniList authentication is only required for the separate [watch-progress sync](/anilist-integration) feature.

+## Inline Character Portraits
+
+When `subtitleStyle.nameMatchImagesEnabled` is enabled, SubMiner injects a small circular portrait image directly into the subtitle line next to each matched character name.
+
+Portraits are sourced from the local snapshot — they are embedded at snapshot-generation time and served from the cached ZIP, so no network request happens during playback. Images are downloaded from AniList CDN once per character and stored in `character-dictionaries/img/`.
+
+If a snapshot was generated before portrait data was available (e.g. during an earlier version or offline sync), SubMiner detects the missing image data on the next media match and automatically refreshes the snapshot so portraits are included in the next merged dictionary build.
+
+**To enable:**
+
+- Settings → Subtitle Style → **Name Match Images**, or
+- `subtitleStyle.nameMatchImagesEnabled: true` in config.
+
+The portrait size is controlled by the surrounding subtitle font size and renders as a circle clipped from the character's AniList cover image.
+
+::: tip
+Inline portraits help you quickly associate names with faces while building vocabulary — especially useful for shows with large casts where you're still learning who's who.
