AI Ghibli Style Photo Converter
That soft, hand-painted Japanese animation look has a huge following, and turning a real photo into it used to mean a skilled illustrator and a long wait. This does it from any photo, instantly.
Upload a photo and the AI repaints it with watercolour backgrounds, warm nostalgic light and gently simplified, expressive features — while keeping you recognisable. Great for profile pictures, prints or just admiring.
This is one of the most-searched 'studio ghibli ai filter free' and 'photo to ghibli style ai' tools online, riding the wave of the broader hand-painted-anime trend. Compare it side by side with our Anime Style Converter — the moods are different even though both start from the same kind of photo.
Tips for the dreamiest result
- Photos with some background scenery (not just a tight face crop) translate best into the painterly style.
- Soft natural light in the original photo carries through beautifully.
- Re-run for variation — the brushwork and palette shift a little each time.
- Compare it against the Anime Style Converter on the same photo to see which mood you prefer.
It's free to try and runs right in your browser — nothing to install. Explore the rest of our AI Creative Apps, or open the full AI photo editor for more control.
