Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work on any photo?
Yes — portraits, pets, landscapes, street shots. The AI keeps your composition and subjects and re-renders them with Ghibli-style hand-painted textures and the warm natural palette the studio is known for.
Is this an official Studio Ghibli product?
No. This is a fan-favorite art STYLE (soft hand-painted animation look) applied by our own AI model. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Studio Ghibli.
Can I make only part of the photo Ghibli-style?
Yes — choose 'Style only part of it' after uploading and brush the region you want changed; the rest of the photo stays untouched.
How many free conversions do I get?
Generating is free with an hourly rate limit. You only spend credits when you download a result without the watermark.
