Description
AnimeAI (animeai.app) is a web-based AI anime generator that converts real photos and selfies into anime avatars, portraits, and profile pictures. It is free to use with no signup required, and results typically arrive within a few minutes per image.

The tool is built on Stable Diffusion with custom models trained on hundreds of thousands of images from anime databases. Rather than tracing a photo, it recreates the subject from scratch using each style's visual language, so results look like genuine anime art. Users upload a single-person portrait, select gender to help the model interpret facial structure, and can optionally flag attributes such as glasses, a cap, dark skin, or facial hair, which the team added specifically to improve representation of underrepresented features.
Many anime and cartoon styles are available, including natural styles like Classic, Fate, and Webtoon that stay close to the subject, and more stylized ones like Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, Studio Ghibli, Pixel, Disney, and Family Guy that diverge further. A separate text-to-anime generator lets users create original characters and scenes from tag-style prompts, and the site shares prompt templates and negative-prompt guidance.
Original photos are stored in France under GDPR and deleted once generation completes, while generated images are kept until the user requests deletion. Output is currently 512x512, with an HD format planned. A free tier includes 100 pictures, and a larger image pack improves the odds of a perfect result given the random nature of diffusion models.
