Tips

Tips that ship

  • 01

    Lead with the character noun ("anime girl", "anime boy", "shoujo heroine") — Pixzoo's parser anchors on it.

  • 02

    Pick one style keyword, not three. "Cel shading" + "soft pastel" is fine; adding "oil painting" will break the look.

  • 03

    For consistent characters across multiple images, upload a reference and toggle Nano Banana Pro with image-to-image.

  • 04

    Use 3:4 or 4:5 aspect ratio for portraits — square cuts off chins and ruins composition.

  • 05

    Negative-prompt "extra fingers, deformed hands" if you include hand gestures.

FAQ

Anime portrait FAQ

Which model is best for anime?

Nano Banana Pro for consistency across re-rolls; Pixzoo 2.0 Pro for the cleanest cel shading. Both ship anime as a native style — no LoRA needed.

Can I keep the same character across images?

Yes. Upload a single reference (a face shot or character sheet) and switch the generator to image-to-image. Pixzoo preserves face geometry on every new pose.

Does it support Japanese prompts?

Fully native. Mixing Japanese keywords with English style words ("少女, cinematic light, cel shading") often gives the best result.

How do I avoid the "AI face" look?

Skip "realistic" and "hyperrealistic". Add a style anchor ("shoujo manga", "90s anime cel", "Ghibli-adjacent") so the model commits to one aesthetic instead of averaging.
