What the Zebra AI Art Generator is

The Zebra AI Art Generator turns a photo you already have into AI art. (This is Zebra the AI photo editor at zebra.tg — not Zebra Technologies, the barcode-scanner company.) You upload one image, choose a style, and the model repaints your photo in that style. There is no prompt to write and no app to install — it runs in the browser at /generate.

This is image-to-image, not text-to-image. Most "AI image generators" start from a blank canvas and a text description, so they invent a new scene that has nothing to do with you. Zebra starts from your photo and keeps the subject — your face, your pet, your room — while changing only the style. That is the difference between "generate a cartoon of a dog" and "make this dog a cartoon."

The catalog holds dozens of styles today, and new ones are added regularly. Examples include Ghibli, 3D Cartoon, Watercolor, Fantasy Cartoon, Sticker, Action Figure Box, Pet Portrait, Age Progression, and Colorize & Restore.

How to turn a photo into AI art in 3 steps

You can turn a photo into AI art in three steps and about two minutes.

  1. Upload one photo. Open /generate and drop in a single JPG, PNG, or WebP file.
  2. Pick a style. Browse the styles and tap one. Previewing the catalog is free.
  3. Generate and download. The image renders in roughly 1-3 minutes. Download the full-quality result — no watermark.

Each finished generation costs 1 coin. Coins never expire, and they are shared between the website and the Zebra iOS app, so you can buy on one and use on the other.

9 facts about Zebra's AI art tool

  1. It is image-to-image: it restyles one uploaded photo, it does not generate from text.
  2. The catalog has dozens of styles, with new ones added regularly.
  3. A generation costs 1 coin — 1 coin equals 1 styled photo.
  4. Coins never expire and work across both the website and the iOS app.
  5. Coins are separate from Premium. Premium unlocks editor tools; coins pay for AI generations.
  6. A typical generation finishes in about 1-3 minutes (a high-quality model tier).
  7. Results have no watermark and download at full quality.
  8. The tool runs in 11 interface languages (en, ru, de, es, fr, ja, zh, ko, it, pt, tr).
  9. It works in any browser and also in the iOS app.

These are styles people reach for most often.

  • Ghibli — soft, hand-painted anime look for a ghibli style photo.
  • 3D Cartoon — glossy Pixar-style 3D render of your subject.
  • Watercolor — loose, washed brushwork with paper texture.
  • Fantasy Cartoon — stylized illustration with rich, storybook color.
  • Sticker — clean die-cut sticker with a bold outline.
  • Action Figure Box — your photo packaged as a boxed collectible figure.
  • Pet Portrait — a framed, painterly portrait of your pet.
  • Age Progression — see a face aged forward in time.
  • Colorize & Restore — bring color and clarity to an old photo.

How Zebra compares to typical AI generators

Zebra is honest about the trade: you pay per image, but you keep your subject and never hit an expiring-credit clock.

Browsing the styles is free, so you can decide what you want before spending anything. You only spend a coin when you generate. Coin packs start small — 1, 5, and 10-coin packs, with bulk packs discounted — so you are not forced into a subscription to make a single image.

If you mainly need to clean up a photo rather than restyle it, see Remove Background. For full editing tools, that is what Premium covers — separate from coins.
