AI Photo Filter
An AI photo filter that actually redraws the picture: upload one photo, pick a style, and get the same people in the same place back as a 3D movie still, a clay set, a picture book page, a woodblock print or a painting.
3 credits per image. New accounts get 10 to 30 free credits depending on country, no card needed.
What each style does to a photo
Each card shows the original photo as a small picture in the corner. All of them were generated for this page and show people and pets who do not exist. Every style keeps the people, their skin tone, the pose and the setting, and changes only how the picture is made.
Beach couple as 3D movie characters
Mother and daughter as clay figures
Boy and his dog as a picture book page
Autumn park couple as a ukiyo-e print
Grandmother in her courtyard, painted like Van Gogh
Street portrait as a pop art printEvery style on this page
Each card is a real result from an example photo. Styles that have their own page link to it, with more options for that look.
Clay animation
Handmade clay figures with fingerprints and soft studio light, like a stop-motion set.
Storybook illustration
Gouache and colored pencil, like a page from a children’s picture book.
Ukiyo-e woodblock print
Flat colors, fine black outlines and paper grain, like an Edo-period Japanese print.
Van Gogh style painting
Thick swirling brushstrokes and glowing color, painted like Vincent van Gogh.
Pop art
Bold outlines, flat bright colors and halftone dots, like a 1960s screen print.
A real redraw, not a color overlay
Most photo filters shift the colors or paste a texture on top. These styles redraw the whole picture: a 3D movie still gets modeled faces and cinematic light, clay gets fingerprints and handmade props, ukiyo-e gets flat colors and fine black outlines. The people stay themselves throughout, with the same hairstyle, skin tone, age, glasses and clothes.
Start freeYour photoStyled photoTrending looks get added as styles
When a new look starts trending online, it is added here as one more style, so you can try it on your own photo while everyone is still posting it. Styles that grow into a big search of their own get a dedicated page with more variations, linked from their card below; anime was the first.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI photo filter?
It is a filter that redraws your photo instead of adjusting it. You upload one picture and choose a style, and the AI makes a new image of the same people in the same place, drawn or rendered in that style: a 3D animated movie still, a clay animation set, a woodblock print. There is nothing to install and no prompt to write.
Are these AI filters free?
Yes, you can try them for free. New accounts get 10 to 30 free credits depending on country, with no card required. Each styled image costs 3 credits, which means the free credits are enough for at least 3 images. Images downloaded on the free plan carry a small Vidney watermark. More credits come with a subscription plan; the cheapest, Starter, is $9 a month. You can also pay once with no subscription: $0.99 for one image or $1.99 for three, and those credits stay valid for 12 months. You always see the cost on the button first.
Which styles are there, and how often are new ones added?
The styles on offer are the ones in the panel above and in the cards further down; today they range from a 3D animated movie look and clay animation to ukiyo-e prints and Van Gogh style painting. New styles are added when a look starts trending, and the most popular ones also get a page of their own with more variations, as anime did.
Will it still look like me, and does it work for couples, families and pets?
Each style is told to keep every person’s hairstyle, hair color, skin tone, age, glasses and clothes, and to keep exactly the people and animals that are in the photo. Couples, families, kids and pets all work, as the examples show. Strongly graphic looks such as pop art simplify faces more than the others; if a result looks off, run it again.
Can I get the look of a specific movie, show or studio?
No. Every style here is described by how it looks, not by whose it is: a 3D animated family film, clay stop-motion, a picture book, and so on. None of them copies a film, a studio or a character, and the people in the result are always the people in your photo. Van Gogh and ukiyo-e are named because those art styles are in the public domain.
Can I use the same photo for several styles, and what size is the result?
Yes. Upload once and switch styles as often as you like; each new image is charged separately. Every image is a 3:4 portrait of about 896 × 1200 pixels, fine for a profile picture, a phone wallpaper or a post. On paid plans downloads are clean and can be used commercially, subject to the source model terms.
