Turn yourself into anime

5 credits

Not just a filter — a character

An anime filter makes your photo look drawn. Turning yourself into a character goes further: you keep your face, but step into a role — the hero, the rival, the mage, the idol.

Upload a photo as the base and describe the role: "me as a fantasy hero, keep my face, armor and cape." The AI casts you in the part.

Pick your anime role

  • Shonen hero — determined eyes, battle-ready stance
  • Magical girl / boy — transformation pose and sparkles
  • Slice-of-life lead — school uniform, warm everyday light
  • Villain — sharp suit, sharper smirk
  • Fantasy class — mage, knight, archer, healer
  • Cyberpunk operative — visor, neon, night city

No photo? Describe yourself

You can skip the upload entirely: describe your hair, eyes, build, and style — "tall, messy black hair, round glasses, green hoodie, as a fantasy ranger" — and generate your character from text.

Either way, save the result as a Studio reference and your anime self stays consistent across every future scene.

Common questions

FAQ

Do I need to upload a photo?

No — a photo gives the closest likeness, but a detailed text description of yourself works too.

Will the character keep my face?

With a photo upload, the redraw preserves your features, hairstyle, and pose while placing you in the role you describe.

Can I keep my character consistent across images?

Yes — save the portrait as a Studio character reference, and every new scene keeps the same anime you.

Is it free?

Yes — free daily credits, no watermark.
