Selfie2anime

Selfie2anime is a mobile Android utility that gives users access to a neural network. With its help, you can generate anime-style portraits using real photos of people as a basis. The program's interface is available only in Chinese and English.

Creating portraits

The neural network was developed for generating anime pictures. To create them, the user needs to upload an image with a person's face to the mobile program. To make this possible, you need to allow the utility to access the gallery of the gadget. At the moment, artificial intelligence copes with people's faces in different ways. If you upload to the utility a female portrait with a calm or joyful expression, the neural network will create an excellent image. However, the algorithm has difficulties with generating images based on male faces and complex emotional states. This can result in an unlikeable portrait with broken proportions. By analogy with similar utilities, users can see examples of the neural network's work. This allows you to familiarize yourself with the style of the algorithm before you start generating your own images.

Getting an image

The mobile program has a somewhat unusual way of sending the final result. If other utilities provide users with images immediately after generation, in this case the images are sent to e-mail. Therefore, before creating a portrait, you need to specify your mail address and then wait for a letter from the program after generation. The creators of the service claim that the data of users are protected from hacking. This also applies to the e-mail address. If the user has any questions, he can write to the developers on platforms such as Github and Twitter.
