How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Choose a clear portrait or full-body photo with good lighting. The AI works best with photos where facial features are clearly visible. Cosplay photos, selfies, and professional portraits all work great.

    Expect: Standard manga style: 20-30 seconds. Complex artistic styles with custom details: 45 seconds and may need refinements.
  2. Describe the manga style you want

    THIS IS THE KEY STEP. Type specific instructions like 'turn this into classic manga style' or 'transform to anime art with large eyes and dramatic shading.' Be specific about style - shoujo, shounen, or modern anime look. No marking needed first.

    Tip: Use specific manga style terms like 'shoujo manga with sparkly eyes' or 'shounen anime with bold lines' to get authentic Japanese art aesthetics.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Classic manga style Turn this into classic manga style with large eyes and clean line art
    Modern anime look Transform to modern anime art style with detailed shading and vibrant colors
    Shoujo manga style Convert to shoujo manga style with sparkly eyes and soft romantic features
    Shounen action style Turn into shounen anime style with bold lines and dramatic action poses
    3 more prompts
    Chibi manga style Transform into cute chibi manga style with oversized head and kawaii features
    Dark manga aesthetic Convert to dark manga style with dramatic shadows and gothic atmosphere
    Vintage manga look Turn into retro 80s manga style with classic anime character design
  3. Review the manga transformation

    Check that the art style captures authentic manga characteristics - stylized features, dramatic eyes, clean line work, and proper shading techniques typical of Japanese manga and anime.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark facial features before converting to manga style?

No! Just describe the manga style you want, like 'turn into classic manga style with large eyes.' The AI recognizes faces and applies authentic Japanese manga aesthetics automatically.

Is there a free anime filter that doesn't require artistic skills?

What's the difference between shoujo and shounen manga styles?

Can I create manga art from group photos or multiple people?
