Upload one selfie, pick one of nine anime-eye presets — from the flagship Anime Eye Focus to starry pupils, sparkle manga eyes, and full star-face glow — and SketchTo redraws your photo in an anime-eye style built for the trend. Every preset prompt instructs the model to keep your face yours, generation costs 2 credits with the default model, and every result is saved to your History.

What the Anime Eye AI Filter Does

A focused photo filter for the anime-eye and star-face looks circulating on short-video apps — redrawn by AI, not stuck-on stickers.

  • Nine Anime Eye & Star Face Presets

    Six eye-focused presets — Anime Eye Focus, Starry Anime Eyes, Sparkle Manga Eyes, Galaxy Gaze, Shoujo Sparkle, Night Glitter Eyes — plus three face-level looks: Star Face Glow, Kawaii Star Face, and Pastel Anime Portrait. Each preset carries its own tuned generation prompt that instructs the model to restyle the eyes, not your identity.

  • One Selfie Is All It Takes

    The editor takes exactly one image per run: a normal front-facing photo from your phone gallery is enough. Want a different result? Re-run the same photo with another preset or a new prompt anytime.

  • Prompts That Keep Your Face Yours

    Every preset prompt explicitly instructs the model to preserve your face shape, eye position, and facial identity, and to restyle only what the look calls for — the eyes for eye presets, a star-glow treatment for the star-face presets.

  • Custom Prompt Control

    Not seeing the exact anime eyes you want? Switch to a custom prompt and steer the details yourself: iris color, star density, pupil shape, glow strength — the filter is a prompt, so you can rewrite it.

  • Pick the Model That Fits

    Generation runs on the default Nano Banana model, and you can switch to another available image model before generating. The credit cost is shown for your chosen configuration before every run.

  • Credits Up Front, Results in History

    Each run shows its credit cost before you generate — 2 credits on the default model. Finished results land in your History, where you can download, share, or delete them.

What People Use the Anime Eye Filter For

Three jobs this filter actually covers, from trend posts to avatars.

Trend-Ready Anime Eye Posts
Short-video trend riders

Trend-Ready Anime Eye Posts

Anime-eye and star-face filter tutorials are all over short-video feeds. Skip the template apps: run your own selfie through the Starry Anime Eyes or Star Face Glow preset — its prompt instructs the model to apply the look to your actual face rather than paste a one-size filter on top.

Profile and avatar updaters

Profile Pictures With Anime Eyes

Turn a clean selfie into an avatar where only the eyes went anime. The Anime Eye Focus prompt instructs the model to redraw only the eyes and leave skin, hair, and background photographic, so the avatar is built to still read as you — just with the eyes the trend is about.

Star Face Gifts for Friends
Friends and fandom creators

Star Face Gifts for Friends

Run a friend's photo through Kawaii Star Face or Galaxy Gaze and hand back a sparkling star-face portrait. It is a 2-credit gag gift generated from their actual photo, not a sticker from a template pack — and the preset prompt instructs the model to keep their face recognizable under the sparkles.

How to Apply the Anime Eye AI Filter

Three steps from an ordinary selfie to anime eyes or a star-face glow.

  • 1

    Upload One Selfie

    Sign in with Google, Google One Tap, or GitHub and upload a front-facing photo — the editor takes exactly one image per run, and you can re-run with another photo anytime.

  • 2

    Pick an Anime Eye Preset

    Anime Eye Focus is the default eye redraw. Go starry, sparkle, or galaxy for different pupils, or choose Star Face Glow and Kawaii Star Face for the full star-face trend look.

  • 3

    Generate and Save

    The default model costs 2 credits per run and the price is shown before you generate. Your anime-eye result is saved to History for download and sharing.

Tips for a Better Anime Eye Result

Give the Model Clear Eyes

A front-facing selfie with even lighting and no hair over the eyes gives the filter the most to work with. Heavy shadows or motion blur make any eye redraw less precise.

Match the Preset to the Shot

Eye-focused presets instruct the model to keep everything except the eyes photographic — built for avatars. Star Face Glow and Kawaii Star Face push the restyle toward the whole face — made for trend posts.

Steer With a Custom Prompt

Want green galaxy irises or fewer sparkles? Describe the change in your own prompt. Each run is a fresh generation, so small prompt edits are the cheap way to iterate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our pricing plans

To ensure we can offer the most competitive pricing and generous credit allowances each month, your credits reset at the start of each billing cycle. This model allows us to provide you with the best possible value in every billing period.

Anime Eye AI Filter: Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers on what the filter does, what it costs, and how your face is handled.

It is a SketchTo photo filter that redraws the eyes in your photo as anime-style eyes — large glossy pupils, starry irises, sparkle highlights — or applies a star-face glow to the whole look. You upload one selfie, pick one of nine presets or write a custom prompt, and the AI returns a version of your photo with the anime-eye treatment. It is a generation, not a sticker overlay.

Three steps: upload one front-facing selfie, pick a preset such as Anime Eye Focus or Starry Anime Eyes, and press generate. The preset prompts instruct the model to keep your facial identity and restyle only the eyes, so the result is designed to stay recognizably you — individual runs still vary with the photo and model. Each run costs 2 credits with the default model.

The star-face look from short-video apps: eyes turned into glowing star pupils with sparkles scattered over the face. On this page it is covered by the Star Face Glow and Kawaii Star Face presets, which redraw the photo in that style instead of pasting clip-art stars on top.

Generation costs 2 credits per run on the default Nano Banana model, and the cost is always shown before you generate. Other selectable models may cost more. New SketchTo accounts start with 4 free credits, so you can try the filter before paying anything.

Every preset prompt explicitly instructs the model to preserve your face shape, eye position, and facial identity and to change only what the style calls for. Results depend on the photo and the model, so expect variation between runs — regenerating with the same or a tweaked prompt is normal workflow.

Yes — the filter runs in the browser at sketchto.com, on desktop and mobile. Sign in, upload a selfie from your phone gallery, and generate; results are saved to your History so you can download them on any device.
