What if you were a Ghibli character?

Turn your portrait into art... and print it on your own custom T-shirt!

Have you seen the new trend taking over social media? Thousands of people are transforming their selfies into Studio Ghibli-style portraits thanks to AI tools and magical filters. But it doesn’t stop there: now you can wear that unique portrait on a custom T-shirt, tote bag, or even a hoodie.

Ready to give your style an anime twist?

What is a Ghibli portrait and why do we love it?
The visual style of Studio Ghibli is pure magic: soft colors, delicate lines, dreamlike landscapes, and that nostalgic vibe that takes us right into movies like My Neighbor Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle, or Spirited Away.

The “Ghiblification” of portraits has gone viral. With apps like Fotor, Lensa, or even Midjourney, you can now create an anime-style illustration from your photo.
And the best part: you can use that portrait to design 100% unique custom fashion.

From selfie to work of art (and then... onto your T-shirt!)

Ready to become the star of your own anime movie? Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

Take a great selfie or choose your favorite photo (bonus points if it’s a gift for someone).
Use a free app or AI like ChatGPT to transform your image into the Studio Ghibli style. Here's the perfect prompt to copy and paste: Turn this image into Studio Ghibli style.
Download your magical image.
Visit our website and choose your favorite item (T-shirt, hoodie, tote bag...).
