FAQ

How do I convert a photo to anime?

Upload a reference image, adjust strength, and generate. You can run it with zero prompt, but a short style prompt makes results more consistent.

What strength should I use?

Around 0.8 keeps composition closer; around 0.6 pushes stronger stylization. Start at 0.75 and adjust from there.

Do I need an account?

Yes—generation requires an account. If you’re signed out, you’ll be prompted to sign up or log in.

Can I refine after generating?

Yes. Open /create to change models, tweak prompts, and iterate.
