Show HN: Ghiblify – Turn Photos into Studio Ghibli-Style Art with AI

Posted by hiked on Friday March 28, 2025 @10:15AM
from the show-hn dept.

I built <a href="https://ghiblify.im/">Ghiblify</a> to explore how AI can replicate Studio Ghibli’s iconic animation style. It uses fine-tuned diffusion models to transform ordinary photos into Ghibli-esque artwork—preserving the studio’s signature soft lighting, painterly textures, and whimsical details.

"50K+ Active Ghibli AI Artists"

Is that referring to the people using this tool? You are calling them artists?

Well, vibe coders think they can code. It would be unfair not to call "artists" people who click on a button on a web site.

If you can work at Subway you are a sandwich artist... so, art is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

How does Studio Ghibli feel about it? I don't see any mention on the web page.
