Image generation
What it does
Upload a landscape or portrait and it repaints the image in the soft style of anime background art, keeping the composition and changing only the rendering. No prompt is needed and it runs quickly. Landscapes convert cleanly; faces often distort. Do not convert and publish photographs of other people without consent, and note that using output that mimics a particular studio's look commercially can create rights problems.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.
