Frequently Asked Questions
What would I look like as an anime character?
Upload a selfie and find out in about 10 seconds. Try two or three styles: Anime and Ghibli keep you closest to the classic look, 3D makes you a modern animated character, and Manga turns you into black-and-white ink art.
How do I make an anime character of myself?
Pick a clear selfie, choose a style, and press Anime Me. If you want to change something afterwards (hair color, outfit, adding cat ears), press Edit and describe it.
Will it still look like me?
Yes, the AI keeps your hairstyle, face shape and distinctive features like glasses, beards or freckles. Realistic style changes the least. A sharp, well-lit, front-facing photo gives the best likeness.
Can I use my anime self as a profile picture?
Yes, that's what most people do with it: Discord, Instagram, TikTok, X and gaming profiles. The result is high resolution, so it stays sharp when cropped to a circle.
Does it work with group photos or pets?
Yes. For photos with several people, pets or whole scenes, Photo to Anime gives you the same 6 styles and works on any picture.
Is this like the TikTok or Snapchat anime filter?
It's similar, with three differences: you choose from 6 styles, you can refine the result with Edit, and you download a high-resolution image you keep, instead of a filter that only works inside one app.
Can I make my anime self talk or move?
Yes. Press Video under the result and write a line for it to say. A Draft video costs 5 credits and works with free credits; an HD video costs 10 credits and needs a credit pack.
How much does it cost after the free try?
Each conversion costs 1 credit. A free account comes with free credits; your first purchase can be 75 credits for $5, then packs start at $10 for 175 credits. No subscription, and credits never expire.
