Photo to Anime

This door redraws a photo as 90s anime and tries to leave the scene alone. The style is already 90s anime. The note says to keep the same people, pose, and room, and to change only the rendering to flat color. A successful run is recognizable as the photo. A failure is a new character in a similar outfit.

Upload a clear still. A blurry party photo becomes a guess. Faces that are already small in a wide shot stay small, and the anime pass will invent features. Crop closer if the face matters, but do not crop so hard that the pose you needed disappears. Even light helps. A single hard flash is a shadow shape the cel pass will exaggerate.

What must not change: who is standing where, which way they look, the number of people, and the furniture that tells you the room. What should change: line, flat color, and shadow shape. If a third person appears, or a window moves to another wall, reject it. Add “same head count, same furniture, do not add people.” Do not name an anime series as the target style. The selected style is already the rendering. A series name drags faces toward that cast.

The webtoon door is the softer vertical look. This one is harder cel. Neither is allowed to restage the photo. Background clutter in the real room — brand logos, screens with text — should be simplified, not copied. Say “no readable logos or screens.” You still need the right to use the photograph of the people in it. The tool does not grant that. Set the result next to the photo and check the window and the hands. A moved window is a new room, even when the hair color matches. Count fingers only after the head count matches. A new hand is a restage, not a cel-shading choice.
