When you need this

You want a profile picture that looks like a frame from a quiet animated movie.
A friend's birthday is coming and a drawn portrait feels warmer than a plain photo.
You tried a ghibli prompt in another app and the face came out as a stranger.

How to do it

1
Press the button on this page. The bot opens with the Ghibli-style preset already selected.
2
Send one photo of a person, best as a file (document) so Telegram does not compress it. Add wishes in the caption if you like, for example: pink dress, sea in the background.
3
Wait 1-2 minutes. The image costs 2 credits. Check that the face and hairstyle match, and run again if the likeness drifted.

Try it on your own photo: 7 images are free, no sign-up.

The prompt behind this style

In the bot this prompt is applied by the button. Copy it if you want to use it in another image tool.

Redraw this photo as a hand-painted scene from a Japanese animated film in the style associated with Studio Ghibli. Keep the person's face, hairstyle and outfit recognizable. Soft gouache-like colors, gentle outlines, lush green countryside with fluffy clouds in the background, warm afternoon light, calm nostalgic mood. Vertical 3:4, no text.

What the picture looks like

The result looks like a still from a hand-painted animated film: flat soft colors, thin outlines, painted clouds and grass moving in the breeze. People use it for avatars, wall prints, birthday gifts and Telegram or Discord profile pictures. Backgrounds tend to be lush and green by default, which suits portraits taken outdoors. Indoor photos get a countryside backdrop anyway, unless you describe another scene in the caption.

Getting a closer likeness

Hairstyle and clothing carry most of the recognition in this style, because animated faces are simplified. Keep your photo sharp and send it without a hat or sunglasses. If you want your real outfit colors, say so in the caption. When the first result drifts, a rerun gives a different drawing for the same 2 credits, so two or three tries is a normal workflow. Group photos get less accurate than single portraits.

Prints and sharing

The image is vertical 3:4, which fits a standard photo frame and a phone wallpaper without cropping much. You can print it at home or at a print shop. The bot does not print or ship anything. For a gift, pick the version where the eyes look closest to the original and save it as a file from the chat.

Tips

Use a photo where the face is lit evenly and looks at the camera.
Waist-up shots work better than full-length ones, because the face keeps more detail.
Name the season in the caption (autumn leaves, snow) to change the landscape.
Skip heavy beauty filters on the source, the painting copies their smoothness.
Single person photos give the closest likeness.
