How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Action shots, dramatic poses, and expressive faces produce the most dynamic comic book results. High-contrast photos translate best to comic art.

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

    Type your instruction: 'convert this photo to comic book style with bold ink outlines, halftone dot shading, and dramatic action lines' or 'turn this into a Marvel-style comic panel with dynamic inking and vivid colors.' Specify the comic era, inking style, and color treatment. No marking needed—the AI transforms the entire image.

    Tip: Specify the comic era: 'classic 1960s Marvel' for retro or 'modern graphic novel' for contemporary style.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Classic superhero comic convert this photo to superhero comic book style with bold black ink outlines, halftone dot shading, vivid colors, and dynamic action lines
    Noir graphic novel turn this photo into noir graphic novel style with heavy black shadows, high contrast, minimal color, and dramatic inking
    Vintage 1960s Marvel style convert this to vintage 1960s Marvel comic style with Ben-Day dots, limited color palette, retro inking, and classic comic book coloring
    Modern comic panel with text space transform this into a modern comic book panel with dynamic inking, vivid colors, speed lines, and open space at the top for dialogue
    3 more prompts
    Manga action style convert this to manga-style comic art with speed lines, dramatic angles, screen tones, and Japanese comic inking technique
    Indie comic watercolor style turn this into indie comic book style with hand-drawn loose lines, watercolor coloring, and alternative comics aesthetic
    Black and white comic ink convert this to black and white comic art with expressive brush strokes, crosshatch shading, no color, and raw pen-and-ink energy
  3. Review the comic art

    Check for bold, consistent ink lines, proper halftone shading, and dynamic composition. The best results look like they were drawn by a comic artist—with energy, movement, and dramatic impact.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If specific areas need heavier inking, different shading, or more dramatic effect, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Most comic book conversions look publication-ready on the first try.

    Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—comic book style usually works perfectly in one pass.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine which part you wanted in comic style from description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want in comic book style, then regenerate with the same prompt

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Use them for selective comic effects.

Result looks like a filtered photo, not actual comic art

Why: The AI applied too subtle a transformation, preserving photographic quality instead of embracing comic illustration.

Try: convert to bold comic book illustration with thick hand-drawn ink lines, no photographic quality remaining, flat color fills, and dramatic inking

Tip: 'No photographic quality remaining' and 'hand-drawn ink lines' push past the filter look into true comic art.

Ink lines are inconsistent—some thick, some barely visible

Why: The AI applied uneven inking weight across the image.

Try: convert to comic book style with consistent bold ink line weight throughout, every outline clearly defined and uniform thickness

Tip: 'Consistent' and 'uniform thickness' tell the AI to maintain even inking across the whole image.

Colors don't look like comic book coloring

Why: The AI used photographic gradients instead of the flat, bold color fills typical of comics.

Try: convert to comic style with flat solid color fills, no gradients, bold primary and secondary colors like printed comic coloring

Tip: 'Flat solid color fills, no gradients' is the key instruction for authentic comic book coloring.

Image lacks the dynamic energy of comic art

Why: The composition is static—comics convey movement through visual techniques the AI didn't apply.

Try: convert to comic book style with action lines, speed effects, dynamic angles, and energy that suggests movement and drama

Tip: 'Action lines' and 'speed effects' add the kinetic energy that makes comic art feel alive.
