Questions people ask

How do I turn my photo into anime?

Open the AI filter on Enhance AI and pick a style from the Anime and Cartoon shelf. Upload one clear photo and tap Apply style. Your anime picture shows up in the history on the same page. Download it from there.

Is this anime face generator free?

You can try it for free. New accounts get free tokens, and you do not need a card. Each anime picture uses 20 tokens. When you need more, plans start at $19, paid one time, and yearly plans are 20% off.

Will the anime face still look like me?

That is the idea. Each anime style tells the AI to keep you easy to spot, with your own skin tone. Most also keep your face, age, hair and expression. Icy Manga Glow gives you long icy blue hair on purpose. It is still AI, so small things like your clothes can change. A clear, bright photo gives the best likeness.

Which anime styles can I pick?

There are many. A few of them: Painted Anime Film, City Pop Anime, Korean Web Comic, Romance Manga Panel, Icy Manga Glow, Anime Game Hero, Mecha Pilot, Magic Transform Scene and Vintage Animation Cel. The shelf also has cartoon looks like 3D Movie Hero and Big Head Caricature. Character Design Sheet draws you from the front, side and back, with a few poses and a small chibi version.

Can I mix two styles?

Yes. Turn on style mixing, pick two styles, like Painted Anime Film and Korean Web Comic, and choose how much of each you want. A mix costs the same 20 tokens.

What photos can I upload?

One photo in PNG, JPG or WEBP, up to 20MB. A front facing photo where your face is big and sharp works best. Couple photos work too. For a big group, crop close first so every face is bigger.

What size is the picture? Is there a watermark?

About 1K. That looks sharp as a WhatsApp DP, an Instagram DP or a Discord avatar, and on phone screens. It is not big enough for a poster. There is no watermark.

Can I make anime art from text, with no photo?

Yes, with a different tool. Type what you want in the AI image generator on Enhance AI, or try the Ghibli AI image generator for soft, hand drawn anime worlds.

Is this the same as face swap?

No. Here the AI redraws your whole photo as anime. Face swap puts your real face onto another photo. Enhance AI has both.

What happens to my photo?

It is saved in your Enhance AI account and sent to the AI model that makes your picture, OpenAI GPT Image 2, through our AI provider. Our privacy policy explains how long data is kept and how to have it deleted.

Do I need to download an app?

No. It works online, in the browser on your phone or computer.

Can I use it as my profile picture or for cosplay?

Yes. You own what you make and can use it for personal or commercial work. People use it as a DP, as a cosplay reference or as a start for their own manga character. If the photo shows someone else, ask them before you share it.
