A closer look at Anime
Anime treatment turns photographic forms into deliberate linework and separate areas of light and shadow. The interest is in the design of a feature or silhouette, rather than reproducing every skin or fabric texture.

When to choose Anime
Choose an anime look for color and clean drawn contours. A manga-inspired image often emphasizes ink, white space and printed shading instead; choose based on whether color is central to your idea.

Anime questions
How is Anime different from Manga?
This Anime treatment uses color and cel-style shadows. Manga uses black ink, white space, hatching and screen tones to build a monochrome image.
Should the original photo already look like an anime character?
No. Begin with the photo whose subject and composition you want to reinterpret. Pay particular attention to whether the resulting expression and identifying shapes suit your idea.
Do I need an account, and how is generation charged?
You need to sign in to generate an image. Generation is charged in credits; see the pricing page for current details.
