How Anime in Real Life works

Upload a picture of an anime character — your own OC, fan art, anything drawn. You get a short clip shot like a phone video at a real anime convention: a staff member leads them through the hall, they stop right in front of you and strike a pose, then walk past while the camera turns to follow, and blow you a kiss over their shoulder. The character stays a 2D anime drawing; the hall and the people around them are real.

Why reRAW AI

Why your character stays anime

Still anime, real world

Clean line art and flat anime colours on the character, real marble floors and a real crowd around them. That contrast is the whole point.

Your character, as drawn

Hair, eyes, outfit and accessories come from the picture you upload — and they hold up from behind as your character walks away.

One little scene, one take

Led in by staff, a wave, a pose right in front of you, a turn to follow them and a kiss over the shoulder — one continuous shot.

Nothing to write

Upload and tap. Want a different moment? The first tile lets you describe your own.

Good to know

Anime in Real Life questions

Everything people ask before their first try.

What is Anime in Real Life?
Anime in Real Life is an AI video effect that puts an anime character into real-world footage without turning them into a real person. On reRAW AI you upload one picture of a character and get a short first-person clip of them walking through a real anime convention, still drawn in anime style — waving, posing and blowing you a kiss as they pass.
Is Anime in Real Life free?
Signing up gives you 30 credits, no card needed — enough for up to 15 images or 3 videos. After that each photo or video costs credits, and a video costs more.
What picture should I upload?
One clear picture of one anime character, ideally full body with the face visible — your own OC or fan art. A plain background works best.
Can I get a photo instead of a video?
Yes — switch to photo for a still of your character being led through the convention hall.
Does it work with any art style?
Anime and manga styles work best. Chibi, cartoon and game-style characters work too — the character keeps the style you upload.
Will my character be turned into a real person?

No — here they stay a drawing in a real place. If you want the photoreal version, Anime to Real Life turns a character into a real person.

Anime to Real Life AI
Who can see the character pictures I upload?
Only you. Your uploads and the videos you make are kept in your own library, which opens with your account.
What is reRAW AI?
reRAW AI is a platform for making images and videos. Create them from a photo or a few words with models like Veo, Seedance, Kling, Nano Banana, and GPT Image, or use one-tap effects to change outfits, turn portraits into cartoons or make a photo dance. Editing tools swap faces in photos and videos, upscale photos and remove backgrounds, objects and watermarks. Marketing Studio turns templates into posters, product photos and social posts for shops, brands and events. It runs in your browser on phone or computer, and everything you make is saved in your library.
