Anime / Illustration to Real Life — Photorealistic Conversion

Transform anime, 2D illustrations, and stylized artwork into realistic photographs while preserving the original scene, character identity, clothing, and composition.

✨ V1.2 — Candid Smartphone Realism (Latest)

V1.2 focuses on natural, spontaneous photography rather than polished, cinematic-looking results. The goal is to make an illustrated character look like a real person captured casually on an everyday smartphone.

Tip: For the best results, describe the specific scene you want to preserve. Clear descriptions of poses, actions, clothing, and physical interactions can significantly improve consistency, especially when the reference contains unusual compositi
