Manga Photo Filter for Black-and-White Anime Selfies

A manga photo filter can give a familiar portrait a comic-inspired mood. Here, the Manga style creates a black-and-white selfie with a manga eye inside a star-shaped cutout and small stickers of an original anime character. The composition combines a photographic portrait with drawn details. This guide explains which photo to choose, how to make the effect and what to expect from an AI-generated result.

What the Manga style changes

The eye cutout and character stickers use monochrome ink and screentone styling, and the overall picture becomes black and white. The character is inspired by the adult in your selfie. The intended result keeps a recognizable photographic subject within a vertical collage. Your selfie guides the character’s hairstyle and outfit; the generated composition determines the placement of each sticker.

Choose a photo with a clear eye

Use one sharp, well-lit head-and-shoulders portrait. Keep at least one eye unobstructed so the cutout has a clear place to align. Hair across both eyes, dark sunglasses and deep facial shadows make that harder.

A simple background leaves room for stickers. Leave a little space above your head and around your shoulders; a tight crop can limit the composition. Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP file no larger than 10 MB. Use one adult only, and only a photo you own or have permission to edit. Group portraits, children and public figures are not supported.

How to apply the manga filter

1. Open Create photo and sign in to your account.
2. Select Manga in the three-style selector.
3. Choose your selfie and confirm your permission to use it. The site prepares and checks the photo before generation.
4. Click the generate button when you are ready. Each generated photo uses 3 credits.
5. Wait for the result, then download it. You can also find a completed image in My photos if you leave the creation page.

Credits, download size and timing

You need enough account credits to generate a photo. Compare subscriptions and one-time credit packs before starting. If generation fails or the result is blocked by safety checks, the reserved credits are returned.

The download is a 2K vertical image, approximately 9:16, with no watermark added by this site. Processing time varies with preparation, the generation provider and delivery checks. Wait for a completed result rather than repeatedly starting new requests for the same picture.

Getting a result you want to share

AI editing can change facial details, clothing, backgrounds or sticker placement. A clear source helps, but a particular likeness or exact composition is not guaranteed. Review the full image before using it as a profile picture or sharing it publicly.

The vertical composition works well for a phone wallpaper or story. For a square avatar, check how the crop affects the star and stickers. Matching couple portraits should be made from separate adult selfies, one person per image.

Other looks and private photos

For a colour treatment, compare Star eye and Heart eye in the anime star eye guide. The heart option changes the eye cutout shape; Manga is the monochrome option.

Uploads and results are private to your account. The service uses image-processing and safety providers, so read the Privacy Policy for processing and retention details. Once you have chosen an appropriate selfie, create your manga eye photo.
