How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload any photo you want to transform. Clear subjects with good contrast convert best for anime filter style effects. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple anime conversion: 30-40 seconds. Complex scenes with multiple characters: 45-60 seconds.
  2. Describe the anime style you want

    Type your instruction: 'transform this photo into anime style with large expressive eyes and soft shading' or 'convert to Studio Ghibli anime style with warm watercolor tones.' Be specific about eye size, color palette, and shading style. No marking needed—the AI transforms the entire image.

    Tip: Reference specific anime styles like 'Studio Ghibli', 'shonen manga', or 'shoujo' for more targeted results.
