How to complete this workflow
- 1Describe the traits that must stay recognizable and choose a head-to-body proportion.
- 2Apply the brief, upload your portrait in the image workspace and review the model credit cost before generating.
- 3Use a generated result below, or select your own PNG/JPEG. Preview the full character and download the framed PNG.
Check the result
A clear, evenly lit reference helps separate hair and clothing from the background. Name two or three traits rather than asking for an exact copy of a face.
Compare the output beside your reference before sharing it. Chibi stylization changes facial proportions; a recognisable hairstyle does not prove a faithful likeness.
What this tool does not promise
The proportion is a generation instruction, not a measured guarantee. The export preserves the selected artwork and adds framing; it does not repair a changed face.
Use photos and artwork you have permission to use. Review generated images and final downloads yourself; this page does not reproduce Etsy seller artwork or listing copy.
