Turn your Photos into Studio Ghibli Style Art

Ghibli Painter is a web-based tool that transforms your photo into a Ghibli-style illustration — inspired by the magic and beauty of Studio Ghibli's world. Upload a photo, and watch it become a dreamy, hand-painted scene.

We use AI trained on Ghibli-style aesthetics to reimagine your photo. The process is fully automated, but the result feels like it came straight from an animation cel.

Photos with clear subjects, natural lighting, and scenic backgrounds work best — think portraits, outdoor shots, travel photos, or pets in nature. Avoid heavily filtered or low-resolution images for optimal results.

Usually just a few seconds! But during peak hours, it might take up to a minute.

You can start with 1 free credit per day. To unlock more credits, you can upgrade to a paid plan.

Yes, for most use cases! Once you receive your artwork, it’s yours. Just avoid reselling the service or claiming the AI as your own hand-drawn work.

We store your photos for at least 24 hours to ensure smooth processing and delivery. After that, we delete them periodically from our servers. We take your privacy very seriously — your images are never used for training, shared, or sold.

Yes! Whether it’s people, pets, or even landscapes — our AI can handle them. Though for best results, clear subjects with minimal clutter are ideal.

While we’re inspired by the look and feel of Studio Ghibli, our AI creates original art — it doesn’t copy any specific film or asset. It’s an homage, not a replica.

Currently, the process is automatic — but we’re working on giving users more control, like style sliders or choosing a mood (e.g., daytime, sunset, fantasy).
