Photo to anime FAQ

Before you start: free credits, likeness, supported photos and how conversion works.

  1. Is photo to anime free?

    You can use eligible account credits, but each conversion needs 16 credits. The 12 welcome credits alone do not cover one run. Sign in to check your balance or choose a credit package.

  2. Will it still look like me?

    The instructions preserve recognizable facial features, hair, pose and clothing. AI can change small details; use a clear, well-lit photo and review the result.

  3. How many credits does one image cost?

    16 credits per image, reserved before generation. If the run fails, the reserved credits are refunded. No change to the existing conversion price.

  4. What photos can I upload?

    JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 10MB. Clear portraits work best for likeness; you can also try pets, buildings and landscapes. Upload only images you have permission to use.

  5. How is this different from a filter?

    A filter usually changes color and contrast. This anime photo converter redraws lines, shading and textures using the source photo as a guide.

  6. Can I convert photos in bulk?

    Not on this page. Upload one photo and generate one result at a time.
