Frequently Asked Questions
How good is this compared to TikTok's anime filter?
TikTok filters are fun but limited — you can't save them in high resolution, you're stuck with one style, and they disappear from your camera roll. With our tool you pick from 6 styles, control the intensity, and download a proper high-res file you actually own. Most people who've tried both say ours looks noticeably better on faces.
How do I try it without paying?
Every new account gets 10 free credits. A single conversion costs just 1 credit, so you get ten free tries. No card needed — just sign up, upload a photo, pick a style, and hit convert.
Which anime style should I pick?
Depends on what you're going for. Japanese Anime gives you that classic look. Manga leans more towards black-and-white comic art. 3D Animation is closer to a Pixar or Studio Ghibli vibe. If you're not sure, start with Japanese Anime — it works well with most photos.
How long does it take?
Usually under 15 seconds if nobody else is in the queue. During busy hours it might take 30-60 seconds. If you've bought credits, your jobs get priority and skip ahead of the free tier.
Can I use the result for my Discord avatar or social media?
Yes, that's actually what most people use it for. Discord avatars, Instagram profile pics, Twitter headers, gaming profiles — the output resolution is high enough for all of them. If you're on the paid tier you also get commercial rights.
What kind of photos work best?
Clear selfies and portraits with decent lighting give the best results. The AI needs to see facial features clearly, so avoid heavy sunglasses or photos where half your face is in shadow. Anything above 512x512 pixels is fine. We accept JPEG, PNG, WebP, and TIFF up to 25 MB.
What does the intensity slider do?
It controls how far the AI pushes the transformation. At low values (20-30%) you'll still look like yourself but with an anime tint. At high values (80-100%) it goes full anime. Most people land somewhere around 50% as a sweet spot.
How much does it cost after the free credits?
Credits start at $1 for 10. Each conversion uses 1 credit, so that's $0.10 per image at base price. If you buy in bulk the price drops to as low as $0.03 per image. No subscription — credits never expire.
Can I batch-convert multiple photos?
Not right now — it's one image at a time. We focus all processing power on getting each conversion right. Batch processing is on our roadmap.
What happens to my photo after I upload it?
It gets processed and then automatically deleted from our servers within 15 minutes. We don't keep your images, we don't use them for training, and we don't share them with anyone.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It runs in your browser so it works on any phone — iPhone, Android, tablet. Upload straight from your camera roll and download the result to your device.
The result doesn't look right — what can I try?
First: is the photo well-lit and clear? Blurry or dark photos confuse the AI. Second, try a different style — switching from Japanese Anime to Realistic Anime can make a big difference. Third, play with the intensity slider. You can also hit the Edit button to refine specific parts — for example, "Fix the eyes" or "Make the hair longer." If nothing helps, reach out to support.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If you're not happy with the results, email our support team within 7 days and we'll refund your credits.
