The prompt

Redraw this photo as a hand-painted anime film scene. Keep the people recognisable — same hairstyles, clothing, poses, and expressions — and keep the original composition.

Style: [STYLE, e.g. soft watercolour backgrounds and warm nostalgic light like a classic Japanese animated film], clean line art, gentle colours, and detailed scenery.

No text and no extra people. Same aspect ratio as the original.

Pro tip: Describe the style in words instead of naming a studio — results are more consistent.

Frequently asked questions

Which AI tools work with this prompt?

It is written for ChatGPT and Gemini. Both can edit a photo you upload.

Will the AI change my face?

The prompt tells the AI to keep faces and identities the same, but results vary between runs. If a face drifts, regenerate or reply "keep the face identical to the original".

Is my photo uploaded to PromptUp?

No. PromptUp only gives you the text of the prompt. You upload your photo directly to the AI tool you choose, under that tool's own privacy terms.
