Chibi maker
Create a compact, expressive chibi character from words or a reference image. Direct the hairstyle, face, outfit, pose, prop, palette, and simple background; a large expressive head, short body, simplified hands and feet, clean linework, and soft cel shading define the character.
Chibi examples
How it works
Describe the hair, face, expression, outfit, pose, prop, palette, and simple setting. Add a clear reference when a person, pet, costume, or accessory should guide the design.
YouArt creates one 1K square chibi image for 8 credits with compact proportions, a clear silhouette, and readable character details.
Inspect the expression, hands, feet, accessories, clothing details, and background at full size. Refine the description if needed, then download the character you want.
Character direction
The character stays around two-and-a-half to three heads tall, with simplified limbs and a clear silhouette rather than drifting into a standard anime portrait.
Name the emotion and gaze so the oversized face carries the character. Add one clear action or pose instead of stacking several gestures into the same image.
Describe the main clothing shape, two or three colors, and one or two defining accessories. A reference can guide these details while the chibi redraw simplifies them.
Prompt ideas
Use one character, one pose, a compact outfit description, one defining prop, a palette, and a simple background.

Ways to use it
Turn a clear portrait or written persona into a compact character with a recognizable hairstyle, outfit palette, expression, and prop.
Create a centered character with a clean silhouette and simple background, then prepare the final crop or transparent cutout in an editing tool.
Test outfits, professions, fantasy roles, props, and palettes as individual images before building a broader character direction.
Reimagine a friend, family member, teammate, or pet as an expressive chibi character for a card or keepsake layout.
