Character From Photo: Turn a Photo Into a Character Portrait That Still Looks Like Them
Character From Photo turns a picture of a person into a stylised character portrait that keeps their likeness. Drop in a photo or paste a link to one. The people in it are found and shown as faces you can pick; children are greyed out, because only adults are turned into characters.
Choose a style: anime, comic book, 3D animated, watercolor and more, each with an example made from an invented person. Pick a scene from the presets or describe your own, open More options if you want a different editing model or shape, confirm you have permission to use the photo, and see the price before you generate.
The finished portrait can be downloaded, sent to your gallery, used as a character in Comics or printed and shipped as a poster, shirt or sticker. Your earlier portraits stay listed on the page, and a portrait still being made carries on if you reload.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from photo-to-anime filter apps like Lensa?
Filter apps apply one look to the whole photo. Here you pick one person, a style and a scene, and the portrait is redrawn as a character in that scene, keeping the face recognisable. It can then be printed or used as the lead of a comic.
Can I use any photo?
Use photos you have the right to use. You confirm permission before generating, and children in a photo are never turned into characters.
Is there an API?
Yes. The same feature is available through the Reality Fabricator API with one key, documented in llms-full.txt.
What does a portrait cost?
The price depends on the editing model and is shown before you press Generate.
