I’ve been trying a bunch of photo → anime converters lately (avatars, couple pics, pet portraits).

Most fall into two camps:

Filter apps — fast, but it still looks like your photo with anime makeup
Prompt tools — better art, but you end up writing and rewriting prompts just to keep likeness

What I actually want is narrower: upload a selfie, pick a style, get a redrawn anime image without babysitting a prompt.

I ended up building a small tool for that path:
https://animephotogen.com/

9 presets (manga / Ghibli-ish / chibi / cyberpunk / classic 90s / etc.), optional prompt only if you want to tweak mood or outfit, free daily credits to try.

Curious what other people here use for this. Do you care more about likeness, style accuracy, or speed? Any tools that get the redraw right without turning into a prompt workflow?
