How to use Fairy Filter
Upload the photo
A clear JPG, PNG or WEBP. Portraits work best when the face fills a reasonable part of the frame — a distant full-body shot gives the model very little face to work from.
Pick the style or write your own
Choose a preset, or describe the medium you want: line weight, palette, texture, era. Naming the medium precisely is what separates a good result from a vague one.
Generate and download
Full resolution, no watermark. Good enough to print, use as an avatar, or send to someone as a gift.

Why use Fairy Filter
What Fairy Filter does
Ethereal woodland fantasy styling.
Recognisable after the conversion
Facial proportions and the details that identify a person are carried into the new medium rather than replaced by a generic character face.
A real change of medium
Brush texture, ink weight, cel shading, moulded plastic, woven canvas. The material of the image changes, not just its colours.
Consistent across a set
Run several photos through the same style and they look like one commission rather than a pile of unrelated experiments.
Backgrounds restyled to match
A stylised subject on a photographic background looks pasted in. The whole frame is converted together.
Print-quality output
Resolution holds up as a framed print or a card, which is what most people end up doing with a portrait they like.
What Fairy Filter changes
Restyle this as an ethereal fairy portrait: delicate translucent wings, dew and floating light motes, flower-woven hair, and soft dappled forest light.
Your face, bone structure and skin tone are held fixed on every generation — only what is described above is changed.
Fairy Filter for prints, avatars and gifts
The same conversion serves very different ends — a profile picture, a framed print, a card, a set of matching avatars for a group.
Cards and invitations
An illustrated portrait sits on a card in a way a photograph usually does not, without needing a designer.
Matching sets for a group
A team, a family or a friend group converted in one style, which looks deliberate in a way individual photos never do.
Covers and thumbnails
A stylised image survives text overlaid on it far better than a photograph does — the flat areas give the type somewhere to sit.
Creative reference
A quick look at a concept in a given medium before committing to commissioning it properly.

What people use it for
What it is mainly used for
Ethereal woodland fantasy styling. Pick a style, choose a model, and download the result at full resolution with no watermark.
Group and team sets
Everyone in one style — for an About page, a group chat, a wedding party or a D&D table.
Pet portraits
The single most requested illustrated portrait, and the one people are most reliably delighted by.
Merch and sticker art
Flat, high-contrast styles are what actually survive being printed small on a sticker or a shirt.
Book, album and playlist covers
A stylised portrait as cover art, with room for a title to sit over it.
Prompt ideas
Presets cover the common styles. If you write your own, describe the medium as a maker would: line, colour, texture, era. Vague adjectives like "beautiful" or "high quality" do nothing; "thick ink outlines, flat colour, halftone shading" does a great deal.
Describe the line
"Thick uniform ink outline" reads completely differently from "soft pencil with no outline", even in the same palette.
Constrain the palette
"Muted earth tones, four colours only" produces a coherent image. Left open, most models reach for saturated everything.
Give an era or school
"1970s screen print", "Renaissance oil", "90s anime cel". Era carries a whole set of conventions in two words.
Say what happens to the background
"Flat single-colour background" for an avatar, "stylised landscape behind" for a print.
Keep the likeness explicitly
Adding "keep the face recognisable" helps on the more abstract styles where the medium starts to dominate.
Set the framing
"Bust, shoulders up" for an avatar, "full figure" for a poster. This decides how much of the style you actually see.
More about Fairy Filter
Each generation costs 2 credits from a one-time pack. That is cheap enough to try the same photo in three styles and keep whichever one your friends actually recognise you in.
Every few months a visual style goes around, and the people who get the most out of it are the ones who post while it is still moving. A commission takes a week. Fairy Filter takes a minute, which is the difference between joining a trend and documenting it afterwards.
A stylised portrait does something a photograph cannot: it survives being shrunk. At forty pixels in a comment thread a photograph becomes a smudge, while flat colour and a strong outline stay legible. That is why illustrated avatars outlast the trend that produced them.
Getting the best result from Fairy Filter
- Judge every result at full size, not zoomed out. Problems hide at small sizes.
- Generate two or three times before deciding. Results vary between runs, and the first is not reliably the best.
- Check hands, text, jewellery and glasses in any result before sharing it — those are still where image models most often slip.
- Choose the aspect ratio before generating rather than cropping afterwards.
- If one model ignores part of your instruction, switch to the other and run it again.
- Keep the original file. It is a better base for the next attempt than a generated image is.
- For a matching set, keep the same source photo and style and change only one variable.
- Nothing you upload is published, shared or added to a gallery — but do not upload anything you would not want to leave your device at all.
It's free to try and runs online — nothing to install. Explore the rest of our AI Creative Apps, or open the full AI photo editor for more control.
