Irasutoya — real life turns into a cute drawing.
This effect redraws a photo in a flat, simple Japanese illustration style, with round faces and neat outlines. The sample opens on two women chatting against a red brick wall below a large black-framed window. One wears a blue cap and a long black dress, and the other has her hair in a bun and wears a pale blue dress with a white scarf.
The sample
What happens in the Irasutoya sample.
Nothing is drawn yet in the first four frames. The two women stand against the wall, turning slightly toward each other as they talk. In the fifth frame the change begins: the woman on the right is already a drawing while the one on the left is still blurred. By the sixth frame both are flat illustrations with dot eyes, small smiles and round faces, and the brick wall and window are redrawn as flat orange and grey shapes.
Every piece of their outfits survives: the blue cap, black dress and backpack, the pale blue dress with a white collar, the blue bag across the chest, the green tote and both pairs of black boots. Their poses and positions stay the same, and the camera does not move. Since the sample starts from a full-length shot of two people standing still side by side, a similar photo with clear outfits is a natural pick.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
Friends side by side
Two people turn into drawings at the same moment in the sample, so a photo of friends standing together fits it.
Clear outfit details
Caps, bags and dress colours all reappear in the drawing, so outfits with distinct pieces give it more to show.
Head-to-toe framing
Both women are shown from head to boots. A full-length photo matches how the drawing is laid out in the sample.
