See yourself in a new art style
Upload one portrait. AI restyles you as anime, watercolour, comic-book, or oil-painting — then animates the transformation over a magical instrumental track.
Anime filters in social apps are everywhere but most of them deform your face into a generic doll. OpenMuse runs a slower, more careful process — restyle the portrait into the art style you pick, then animate the transformation as a short reveal. The result keeps your features recognisable, swaps the medium not the face, and ships with a soft instrumental score so you can post it without scrambling for music.
What you can pick
Hand-tuned variants. Pick the one that fits the moment — the AI handles the rest.
1 Anime
Clean-line studio-anime look, cel-shaded colour, big eyes only where they fit. Not a generic dollifier.
2 Watercolour
Soft washes, visible paper texture, hand-painted edges. Reads quiet and editorial.
3 Comic
Halftone shading, ink-line outlines, bold flat colour. Reads punchy on social feeds.
4 Oil Painting
Rich, brush-textured strokes, classical lighting, gallery-portrait energy. Strongest on serious portraits.
Perfect for
Some moments this fits — there are more.
Profile pic refresh
Use a still frame as your new avatar across X, Discord, and LinkedIn.
Social avatar reveal
Post the animated transformation as the reveal of your new look.
Fan-art gift
Make an anime portrait of a friend or sibling as a birthday or graduation gift.
Family portrait remix
Restyle a family photo in oil-painting style for a printed gallery-portrait look.
Streamer / VTuber teaser
A short transformation clip works as a stream-opener or "new look" announcement.
Anniversary / birthday card
A watercolour portrait of someone you love reads more personal than a printed card.
Tips for the best result
A few small things make a noticeable difference.
- 1
A clear face shot reads strongest
Portrait crops with the face well-lit and in focus give the cleanest restyling. Avoid heavy shadows across the face — they confuse the art-style mapping.
- 2
One person, not a group
Solo portraits restyle most accurately. The AI can handle two faces but each gets less individual detail than a single subject.
- 3
Neutral expression for anime
A neutral or soft-smile expression maps to anime most cleanly. Wide-mouth laughs and pulled faces still work but the result reads more comedic.
- 4
Oil painting suits serious portraits
For oil painting, a more composed expression gives a gallery-portrait feel. For comic and anime, fun expressions read better.
How it works
- 1
Upload one portrait
A clear, well-lit photo with your face in focus. Front-facing reads strongest but three-quarter angles also work.
- 2
Pick a style
Anime, Watercolour, Comic, or Oil Painting. Each is hand-tuned — they look like art, not a filter.

AI restyles + animates
