Which photos suit it
Portraits have been tested with real runs on dark skin, a person wearing a headscarf and an older person; faces, hairstyles, glasses, beards and the headscarf were kept. Pets (a corgi) and scenery (a lake) have been tested with real runs too.
Portraits use the Premium tier only; pets and scenery use Standard.
Known limits
Medium brown skin can come out a little lighter.
An older person's skin can turn slightly pinkish, and small clothing details such as buttons are sometimes added.
FAQ
- How is it priced?
- Each run uses credits and produces 2 images to choose from; see the pricing page for the exact amount. Credits are returned if the run fails.
- What is the difference between the Standard and Premium tiers?
- In this style portraits use the Premium tier only (the Standard tier tends to draw medium-to-dark skin lighter), while pets and scenery use Standard. Premium costs more, and the credits for it are shown as soon as you choose a portrait.
- Is the result a real photo?
- No. The “Japanese Anime” result is generated by AI, and the page and the result are labelled “AI-generated”.
- Will headscarves or similar coverings be changed?
- For portraits the request is to keep headscarves, veils and similar coverings covering the same area: not removed, no hair shown, and no religious items added that the photo does not have. AI output cannot be guaranteed 100%; if you are not happy, generate again.
- Is my photo uploaded?
- Style transfer is done by AI on a server, so the photo is uploaded. The free basic tools such as crop and resize run locally in your browser.
