AnimePhotoGen

I got tired of photo-to-anime tools that either (a) just slap a filter on your face, or (b) force you to write a paragraph of prompt before anything happens.

So I built AnimePhotoGen: upload a photo, pick a style, get a redrawn anime image.

https://animephotogen.com/

What it does:

- 9 presets (Ghibli-ish, manga, chibi, cyberpunk, classic 90s, watercolor, pixel, neon, shonen)

- No prompt required for the default path (optional text if you want to nudge outfit/mood)

- Free daily credits, no account needed to try

- Runs in the browser on phone or desktop

Stack notes if useful: Next.js frontend, Replicate for image gen (currently GPT Image 2 for the photo→anime pass), credits billed only on successful generations.

Not trying to be Midjourney. The goal is the narrow case: “I have a photo, I want it as anime PFP / gift art in under a minute.”

Would love feedback on:

1) which style presets feel off / missing

2) likeness vs style tradeoff (too faithful vs too anime)

3) anything broken on mobile

Happy to answer technical questions too.
