Prompt tips
- Name the look instead of an artist: “90s cel animation”, “soft watercolor”, “bold lineart”.
- For photo to anime, upload the photo and say what to keep (hair, outfit, pose).
- Reuse a finished character as a reference to keep them consistent across scenes.
FAQ
Can I turn my photo into anime?
Yes. Upload the photo as a reference and describe the anime style; the model keeps the pose and key features.
Which model is best for anime?
GPT Image 2.5 follows detailed character descriptions closely; Nano Banana Pro is great at painterly backgrounds. Try both in compare mode.
Can I animate my anime art?
Yes — open the video studio, upload the image as the start frame and describe the motion.
