How Anime Filter works
The model is tuned specifically for the photo-to-anime conversion, which is why it needs no style description and costs less than open-ended Style Transfer. It works best on a clearly lit, front-facing portrait where the face fills a decent share of the frame. Group shots and full-body photos work, but faces get less detail the smaller they are in frame.

Front-facing and well-lit gives the strongest result.

Anime Filter questions
Do I need to write a prompt?
No. Anime Filter takes an image and nothing else. If you want control over the style, use Style Transfer instead.
Does it work on photos with several people?
Yes, but the smaller a face is in the frame, the less detail it keeps. For group photos, crop to each person and run them separately for the best result.
Can I use the result commercially?
Yes. Everything you generate on iDesign Platform is yours to use commercially, including in client work and products — the licence is set out in our Terms.
