Transform Your Photo With a Prompt

Upload your photo and describe the anime style you want - ask for expressive anime eyes, illustrated details, colorful backgrounds, cinematic lighting, fantasy elements, or a specific character aesthetic. Or upload your photo together with a visual reference and describe how you want the final image to look - FunAI's image workflows support reference images and prompts for guided transformations.
