Hi Product Hunt! I’m thrilled to introduce Ghibli Art AI today! The Inspiration Like many of you, I've always been mesmerized by the warm, nostalgic, and dreamy atmospheres of classic animation. I wanted a way to step into those worlds and bring that specific magic to my everyday photos, whether it's a portrait, a picture of a pet, or a landscape. The Problem While playing around with AI image generation, I found that generic AI art tools often miss the mark for this specific aesthetic. They either completely lose the likeness of the original photo or produce random, overly-digital anime styles rather than that distinct, hand-painted, cinematic feel. Getting consistent results required wrestling with overly complex text prompts. The Solution So, I built Ghibli Art AI—a dedicated photo-to-art converter. You don't need any design skills or prompt-engineering experience. You simply upload a photo, and our model transforms it into a soft, storybook-inspired illustration. We focused heavily on preserving facial identity and original composition while applying gentle lighting and rich colors. How it evolved for launch Initially, it was just a simple 1-to-1 converter, but as we tested it, we realized creators needed more flexibility. For this launch, we’ve included a Custom Style mode that supports multiple image uploads, allowing you to create cohesive compositions and batch-process your memories. It’s free to try, and I’d absolutely love to hear your feedback. Drop your favorite transformations, feature requests, or any questions you have in the comments below. I'll be here all day answering them! Cheers!
