How to use it

How to make anime art from text in 3 steps

From a sentence to a finished anime illustration.

  1. Describe your scene

    Write who is there, what they are doing and where. «A girl with a red umbrella on a rainy street at night» is enough. Want a pose or a composition to follow? Add a reference image; it is optional.

  2. Pick one of 10 anime styles

    Choose Modern Shonen, Retro 90s, Dark Fantasy, Slice of Life, Cyberpunk, Painterly, Webtoon, Magical Girl, Ukiyo-e and Manga Panel. Every preview shows the same rainy-street scene, so you can see what each style changes.

  3. Generate and download

    Your anime illustration is usually ready in under 20 seconds, free with the Auto model and with no sign-up. Change a few words or the style and generate again.

Find your anime era

How the AI Anime Generator turns your idea into anime art

Describe a scene in words and pick a style.

CreArt's AI Anime Generator turns a written idea into anime-style art. You describe the scene (who is in it, what they are doing, the place and the light), pick one of 10 anime styles and get an illustration in under 20 seconds, free with the Auto model and with no sign-up.

It is made for scenes, illustrations, backgrounds and manga panels: a samurai on a hill at sunset, two friends on a rooftop at dusk, a rainy street lit by shop windows. You can add an image as a reference for the pose and composition, and the result is redrawn as anime.

To turn your own selfie into anime, use Photo to Anime: it is made for that and keeps your face recognizable. Want the same character in every scene? The AI Character Generator keeps your character from one image to the next.

Anime scenes made from text: a girl with a red umbrella on a rainy street at night, a samurai on a hill at sunset, two friends on a rooftop at dusk, and the rainy street as a painted film background

Anime styles

Ten anime styles, one scene

Each style changes the line work, the palette and the light: Modern Shonen, Retro 90s, Dark Fantasy, Slice of Life, Cyberpunk, Painterly, Webtoon, Magical Girl, Ukiyo-e and Manga Panel. The previews all show the same girl with a red umbrella on a rainy street, so you can compare them before you generate.

Painterly gives the look of a hand-painted film background, Webtoon the clean digital color of Korean comics and Ukiyo-e the flat colors of a Japanese woodblock print. Manga Panel gives a black-and-white manga look; a color named in your idea may stay as an accent.

The same girl with a red umbrella on a rainy street in six anime styles: modern shonen, retro 90s, cyberpunk, painterly, ukiyo-e and a black-and-white manga panel
