A photo of a fictional young man with his corgi in a park (the source photo is itself AI-generated) restyled as anime, watercolor, and clay 3D art with his face, hair, clothes, and the dog's markings kept recognizable. AI-generated with Beatra.

• You decide what gets paid for — Paid renders run only when you ask for that exact render or approve its card, which shows the live credit estimate.
• Direction before rendering — the skill plans, directs, and reviews the work, then renders it on Beatra.
• Files you can verify — every file under skills/ matches the release archive on cdn.beatra.ai byte for byte, checked by SHA-256 before each push.
• Updates you control — no self-updater; update with the tool you installed it with.
• Runs in your agent — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Cline, OpenClaw.

• Still looks like the subject — Keep the face, hairstyle, clothing, pet markings, or product label recognisable through the restyle.
• Anchor the exact look you want — Add your own style reference images so the result follows the palette, line weight, and shading you had in mind.
• Match a whole set — Lock in the first result you like, and every other photo in the set comes back in that same style.

• Avatars and profile pictures — Turn a selfie or portrait into an anime, cartoon, or comic avatar for social profiles and communities.
• Sticker and emoji sets — Draw one character in a shared style across a set of poses and expressions for chat stickers.
• Pet, couple, and family portraits — Redraw a favourite photo as illustration art for prints, gifts, and merchandise.

Clear selfies, portraits, pet photos, group shots, product pictures, and travel scenes all work well when the subject is easy to see.

Yes. Add one to three style reference images alongside your photo and say what each should contribute, such as palette, line weight, or shading.

Pick the result you like best first, then the rest of the photos come back in that same style so the series matches.
