Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Photo Style Transfer tool:
- Upload the source photo and specify the target anime style and platform destination.
- Run `apply_anime_style` through `photo-style-transfer` to generate the anime portrait.
- Ask Copilot to prepare the output for distribution — correct dimensions, filename, and any platform-specific requirements.
- Distribute or publish the portrait to the target platform.
Example Prompt
Try this with Copilot using the Photo Style Transfer tool
Use photo-style-transfer to convert this photo into an anime portrait for our Discord community. Use a clean modern anime style with bold lines. Return the image sized correctly for a Discord profile picture and suggest a Discord username that fits the character's vibe.
Tips
- Discord profile pictures are 128x128 — confirm this dimension before generating to avoid resizing artifacts.
- Ask Copilot to check whether the portrait reads clearly at the small icon size before distributing.
- For gaming communities, match the anime style to the game's visual genre — pixel art games suit a different aesthetic than JRPG games.
