Anime AI
AI anime generator for characters, portraits and scenes
About Anime AI
Anime AI is a browser-based AI anime generator. You describe a character, portrait or scene, pick one of five anime styles, optionally add up to three reference images, and it generates an image you can download. The site, which runs at ai-anime.io, is built around a single studio screen with a prompt box, a style picker and output settings for aspect ratio and resolution, so there is very little to learn before the first result appears.
The tool is aimed at people who want original anime-style art without drawing it or commissioning it. It covers the three things most people try first: original characters, portraits and wider story scenes. Next to the main generator, the same account gives access to a comic generator, a manga page generator, a manga translator and an anime upscaler, and all of them draw on the same credit balance. You can start for free without signing up. Paid use runs on credits, either from a monthly subscription (Lite, Pro or Ultra) or from permanent credit packs that never expire, which suits people who only generate occasionally. A standard 1K image costs 40 credits.
Open the Anime Image Studio and write a prompt of up to 2,000 characters describing the subject, setting and mood. If you are stuck, the Surprise Me button and preset ideas such as Cinematic Cel, Cherry Blossoms, Cyberpunk Rain or 90s Retro Anime fill in a starting point, and three example templates can be loaded with one click.
Optionally upload up to three reference images (JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB each) to guide a face, pose, outfit or colour palette. Then choose a visual style: Cinematic Cel, Retro Anime, Chibi, Pastel Romance or Monochrome Manga. Set the output shape and resolution, for example square 1:1 at 1K for an avatar or a wide frame for a landscape scene.
Press Generate. The cost in credits is shown before you start, and credits are returned if a generation fails. Review the result in My Work, change one detail at a time in the prompt if the focal point needs work, and download the version you like.
- •Five anime styles - Cinematic cel animation, 90s retro anime, chibi, pastel romance and monochrome manga, each selectable from the studio rather than written into the prompt.
- •Reference image support - Up to three optional reference images guide a specific face, pose, outfit or colour, which helps keep an original character consistent across several images.
- •Prompt ideas and templates - Preset idea chips and ready-made example prompts give a starting point, and the site includes guidance on writing a clear subject, guiding details and framing.
- •Output format control - Choose square, portrait or wide framing and the resolution, so the image fits its destination, whether that is a profile picture or a wallpaper.
- •Companion anime tools - A comic generator, manga page generator, manga translator and 2x or 4x anime upscaler share the same account and credits.
- •Flexible credits - Monthly plans with 4,000 to 36,000 credits, or permanent packs that never expire, with private, no-watermark results on paid plans and automatic credit refunds on failed generations.
Anime AI suits hobbyists and fans who want to see an original character, an avatar or a fan-style scene without drawing skills. Writers and game makers can use it to sketch out what a cast of characters might look like before briefing an illustrator, and creators who post anime art on social media can produce variations quickly. People who make comics or manga can combine the anime generator with the comic and manga page tools, and readers of untranslated manga can use the translator on the same account. Because packs never expire, occasional users can buy credits once instead of subscribing, while heavier users get more parallel tasks and longer result retention on the Pro and Ultra plans.
