## What it does

You become an anime swordswoman in a moonlit garden of wisteria. Your coat fades into a lilac and teal butterfly-wing pattern, and glowing violet butterflies flutter around you.

## From our test

We used a dark-haired woman in a black jacket in a garden, and she turned into an anime swordswoman in a butterfly-patterned coat with wisteria and a moon behind her. The glowing butterflies stayed close in the final frames.

## Tips for the best photo

- Use a waist-up photo with your face clear and your hair visible.
- Wear a dark top, which matches the dark uniform under the patterned coat.
- Pick a photo taken outdoors with plants behind you, which fits the garden scene.

## Ideas for using it

- A cosplay fan making a character concept for a convention post.
- A creator using an anime avatar clip on Discord or TikTok.
- A friend gifting a custom anime portrait video for a birthday.

## Still looks like you

The video opens on your exact photo, so the face, hair, outfit and surroundings carry through the whole effect.

## A full transformation in one shot

The change happens on camera in one continuous take, so viewers see the before and the after in the same clip.

## How to make it

1. Upload a photo, or pick one from your library.
2. Press Generate. There is no prompt to write; the effect is already set up.
3. Your 5 second HD video is ready in a minute or two. Save it to your library or download it.

## FAQ

### Will it look like a drawn cartoon?

Yes. The effect uses an anime art style rather than a realistic one.

### Do I get a sword?

A sheathed sword rests at your hip, but it stays calm and is never drawn.

### Do I need to write a prompt for Butterfly Haori?

No. Butterfly Haori is a ready-made effect: upload a photo and press Generate. The directions for the motion, camera and lighting are already built in.

### How long is the Butterfly Haori video, and how long does it take?

Every effect makes a 5 second HD video that matches the shape of your photo, portrait or landscape. Most are ready in one to three minutes, and you can leave the page while it renders.

### Does the video have sound?

Yes. Each clip comes with matching ambient sound effects. It does not add music, so you can lay your own track over it in any editor.

### Can I use a photo of someone else?

Only photos of adults, of yourself or of people who agreed to it. Every upload goes through the same safety checks as the rest of PixelDojo.
