Terms of service

Last updated November 14, 2026

By using Ghibli Photo you agree to these terms. The service is simple: you upload a photo, we return a Ghibli-inspired illustration.

What the service is

Ghibli Photo is an independent tool that turns a personal photo into a Ghibli-inspired illustration for personal, non-commercial use. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise related to Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, or any of their companies, films, characters, or trademarks. "Ghibli-inspired" describes a soft, hand-painted, pastoral look only. Do not upload or request copyrighted Studio Ghibli stills or character art, and do not present the result as official artwork.

Your content

You must have the right to upload each photo, and you own and remain responsible for those files. You grant us a limited license to use them only to generate, store, and deliver your illustration. Do not upload photos of anyone under 18, or images you are not allowed to use. The output is an AI-generated illustration, not a photograph and not official Studio Ghibli artwork. Do not pass it off as a real, unaltered photo, or as work made or approved by Studio Ghibli. We may refuse a request, remove content, or close an account that breaks these terms, and we remove content when a valid takedown notice arrives (see the DMCA page).

Credits and payments

Portraits are paid with credits from one-time packs or a monthly subscription, as shown on the pricing section. Credits cannot be exchanged for cash except as described in the refund policy. Prices are shown before you pay. A subscription renews until you cancel it from your account billing page.

No warranty

The service and the AI output are provided as is. Results vary with the photo and the model, and a likeness is not guaranteed to be exact. To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the last 12 months. If we change these terms, we update the date at the top of this page; using the service after that means you accept them.
