Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a photo into anime with AI?
Upload the photo as a reference to Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2 or Grok Image and ask for it to be redrawn in anime style — the model keeps the likeness and changes only the style. It is done in the IIshki studio.
What other styles are available besides anime?
Besides anime there is cartoon style in the spirit of Pixar, comic book, pop art and more — just describe the style you want in the prompt. You can make an avatar or a piece of art from your own photo.
Will it still look like the original?
Yes. When you upload the photo as a reference, the model preserves facial features and pose and changes only the style. The sharper the original shot, the closer the result.
