AskGhibli & Anime Photo Prompts
Give your photo the soft, painterly warmth of a Studio Ghibli film. These prompts work two ways: paste one with your own photo into Gemini (Nano Banana 2.1) to redraw yourself in Ghibli style, or use one as a text prompt in Midjourney with --niji 7 for a clean anime look from scratch. Nano Banana 2.1 keeps your pose, clothes and face recognisable while it repaints the scene; Midjourney gives a cleaner, more stylised anime look but cannot keep a real face identical, so use it when you want art, not a portrait of yourself. The Ghibli-style portrait and the rainy old-city street work best with a clear, front-facing photo and warm daylight. Ask for 4:5 for an Instagram portrait, and add 'no text' so the AI does not paint words into the scene. These prompts are free to copy, and the style is a tribute, not official Ghibli art — use your images for personal projects, not as if they came from the studio.

💬 WhatsAppFrequently asked questions
Can I turn my own photo into a Ghibli-style portrait?
Yes — paste the prompt with your photo into Gemini (Nano Banana 2.1) and it redraws you in Studio Ghibli style while keeping your pose and clothes. Midjourney with --niji 7 gives a cleaner anime look from a text prompt.
Is the Ghibli style free to use?
The prompts on this page are free to copy. Images you make follow the AI tool's own terms, and Studio Ghibli is a style, not a licence — use it for personal projects, not as if it were official Ghibli art.
Will the Ghibli prompt change my face?
In Nano Banana 2.1 your pose and clothes stay recognisable, but the face becomes a painted anime version of you — it will look like you, not identical to you. Midjourney with --niji 7 starts from text, so it cannot keep a real face at all.
