Make it in TelegramThe prompt behind this style
Redraw this photo as a high-quality anime illustration. Keep the person's face shape, hairstyle, hair color, expression and outfit recognizable. Clean line art, cel shading, large detailed eyes, soft gradient background, style of a modern Japanese animated film. Vertical 3:4 portrait, no text.
The anime look this prompt aims for
The result follows modern Japanese animated film: thin confident lines, flat color areas with one or two shade steps, glossy eyes with highlights and a soft gradient sky or wall behind. It is a polished illustration rather than a rough sketch, so it suits avatars, wallpapers and cover art. Outfit details such as collars, scarves and bags are simplified but stay in the right colors.
Photo choices that help
Head and shoulders with even light work best. Hair that covers half the face or strong sunglasses give the AI less to read, so expect more guessing. Group photos can be cropped to one person before sending. If your photo has a messy room behind you, say in the caption what scene you would prefer, for example a street at dusk or a classroom window.
Honest expectations
Anime drawing simplifies faces, so the likeness is carried by hair, eye color, face shape and accessories more than by fine features. Two runs can look quite different. If the first one feels like a stranger, run again and consider adding a detail the AI missed, like freckles or glasses. Results are illustrations, not official artwork of any show.
Tips
- Photos with a clear hairstyle outline give the sharpest anime result.
- Write the hair color in the caption if your lighting makes it look different.
- Ask for a mood: calm smile, serious look, windy hair.
- A plain background in the source photo makes the redraw cleaner.
- If the eyes feel too big for your taste, add: keep eye size moderate.
Questions and answers
Does it look like a specific anime show?
No. It follows a general modern anime film look, not a particular title or studio.
Can I get a full-body anime picture?
The prompt targets a vertical portrait. For full body, mention it in the caption and expect more variation.
Will glasses and piercings appear?
Usually yes if they are clearly visible. Check the result and rerun if something is missing.
Do I need to write in English?
English captions work well. The bot replies in English, and the link from this page opens the right mode.
What does it cost?
2 credits per image. The first launch gives 15 credits, so 7 images free.
