Example of a good photo for anime transformation

What Makes a Good Photo

  • Choose a clear, well-lit photo.
  • Keep the main subject easy to see.
  • Leave some space around the subject.
  • Avoid heavy blur or small details.
  • Use a JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 10MB.

When results may vary

Results may preserve fewer details when faces are very small, heavily blurred, strongly covered, shown at extreme angles, or surrounded by many people.
