Upload one photo, pick one of nine hand-drawn animation presets — from the classic Ghibli Style look to watercolor, retro cel, and storybook art — and SketchTo repaints it as a painted animation still. Every preset prompt instructs the model to preserve your facial identity, generation costs 2 credits with the default model, and every result is saved to your History.

A focused photo filter for the hand-drawn animation look — here is exactly what happens to your photo.
Pick from nine presets in one family: the flagship Ghibli Style, Pastoral Summer, Watercolor Anime, Retro Cel Animation, Storybook Art, Painted Sky, Cozy Night, Pastel Daydream, and Scenic Backdrop. Each preset carries its own tuned generation prompt, so switching styles changes the whole mood of the painted result.
Every preset prompt instructs the model to keep the same face shape, facial structure, and facial identity of the person in your photo. The goal of the filter is a photo that looks like the same person redrawn by a hand-painted animation studio — not a stranger wearing your clothes.
The editor takes exactly one image — a portrait, a couple shot, a pet, or a travel scene. No masks, no brushes, no layer work: choose the preset, press generate, and the painted still is saved straight to your History.
The filter runs on the Nano Banana model by default, and the editor lets you switch between nine runtime models — including the Nano Banana family, Flux 2, GPT-Image, Seedream, and Qwen Image Edit — if you want a different rendering feel from the same preset.
A generation with the default Nano Banana model costs 2 credits, and the editor always shows the exact cost before you press the button. New SketchTo accounts start with 4 free credits — enough for two tries before you decide anything.
Filtered images land in your private History, where you can view them at full size, download the file, share it, or delete it. Nothing you generate disappears when you close the tab.
The same filter covers the three jobs searchers actually bring to it.
Join the hand-drawn animation filter trend with your own photo instead of a template. Filter a selfie or a group shot with the Ghibli Style or Pastel Daydream preset and post a result that looks hand-painted, not auto-filtered.
Turn a travel snapshot into an animation frame. Pastoral Summer and Painted Sky repaint fields and skies the way animated films paint them, and the Scenic Backdrop preset keeps you crisp while the background becomes a painted scenery plate.
Give a Discord, game, or community profile a hand-drawn identity. Retro Cel Animation reads clearly at small avatar sizes, and because the preset keeps your facial identity, friends still know it is you.
Three steps from an ordinary photo to a hand-painted animation still.
Sign in and upload the photo you want filtered — the editor takes exactly one image per run, and you can re-run with another photo anytime.
Choose one of the nine animation presets. Ghibli Style is selected by default; switch to Watercolor Anime, Cozy Night, or Scenic Backdrop depending on the mood of your photo.
Press generate — the editor shows the credit cost first (2 credits on the default Nano Banana model). The painted still is saved to your History for download or sharing.
Hand-painted styles translate soft, natural light best. Harsh midday shadows and heavy night grain give the model less to work with — the Cozy Night preset is the better home for evening shots.
Pastoral Summer and Painted Sky suit landscapes and travel shots; Storybook Art flatters family and kids' photos; Scenic Backdrop is the pick when you want the subject sharp against a painted world.
The same preset renders differently on each of the nine selectable models. If a result feels too soft or too literal, switch the engine in the editor and generate again — you only pay credits for the runs you make.

Short answers on cost, photo requirements, and what happens to your face.
It is a SketchTo photo filter that repaints your photo as a hand-painted animation still. You upload one photo, pick one of nine hand-drawn presets — the flagship Ghibli Style look, watercolor, retro cel, storybook, and more — and the AI returns a painted version of your image.
That is the design goal. Every preset prompt explicitly instructs the model to preserve your face shape, facial structure, and facial identity, so the result should read as the same person redrawn by a hand-painted animation studio.
A generation with the default Nano Banana model costs 2 credits, and the editor always shows the cost before you generate. New SketchTo accounts receive 4 free credits, and additional credits come from subscriptions or one-time packs.
The editor accepts exactly one image per run. Portraits, couple shots, pets, and travel scenes all work — see the lighting tip above for getting the most out of any of them.
Yes. The filter defaults to Nano Banana, and the editor lets you switch between nine runtime models, including Flux 2, GPT-Image, Seedream, and Qwen Image Edit. Model choice can change cost, and the editor discloses it before generating.
Every result is saved to your private History, where you can view, download, share, or delete it. Credits carry validity windows — monthly subscription credits last 30 days, while annual-plan and credit-pack credits last a year.
