Ghibli Style Photo FAQ
Does it work on group photos?
Yes, but each face gets less detail. One to three people looks best.
How long does it take?
My test took 16 seconds.
Is Ghibli Style Photo free?
Yes, to try. A free PixelDojo account gets 3 effects a day across Photo Effects and Video Effects, with a small watermark. Subscribers make as many as they like with no watermark.
Who owns the result, and can I use it commercially?
We assign you whatever rights we hold in the result, so you can use it in your own projects, commercial ones included, as long as what you uploaded was yours to use. Unsaved results are deleted after 24 hours, so save the ones you want to keep.
Can I use a photo of someone else?
Only photos of adults, of yourself or of people who agreed to it, and only images you have the right to edit. Every upload goes through the same safety checks as the rest of PixelDojo.
