FAQ
Can I turn a photo of myself into one of these cartoon styles?
Yes. Upload a reference photo along with your prompt, and the AI can use your features and pose as a starting point while applying the illustration style you describe.
How do I make sure the illustration won't get cropped awkwardly?
Keep the character centered with visible padding on all sides, since most platforms crop square uploads into a circle and can cut off details near the edges.
Can I change the hair or outfit color to match my style?
Yes. Swap the color details in the prompt, like hair color or outfit style, for your own preferences to make the illustration feel more personal.
