AI Chibi Avatar Maker: Chibify — A photo turned into a chibi character in 14 styles

Chibify is a free iOS and Android app that turns a photo into a chibi-style avatar using AI image generation. A user uploads a selfie or gallery photo, picks one of 14 styles, and the app produces a big-eyed, small-bodied character that keeps the original face recognisable. Results can be remixed, combined with a second photo for a couple or pet scene, or cut into a sticker, profile picture or wallpaper.

Chibify lists 14 styles including Classic chibi (big head, tiny body, anime eyes), Anime, black-and-white Manga, Kawaii Pop, Pixel Art, 3D Figurine, Watercolor, Sticker, Action Figure in a toy box, Comic Book and Caricature. Each style is designed to keep a user's face and hair recognisable rather than replacing the likeness entirely, so the same photo produces a visibly different result in each style while still looking like the same person.

Studio Drop uploads a single photo once and generates eight different styles from that one photo in a single run, instead of a user picking and waiting for each style separately. Each version appears on screen as soon as it is finished rather than all at once at the end, and if any one of the eight images fails to generate, Chibify automatically refunds the credit it would have cost.

Chibi Us is Chibify's two-photo mode: add a photo of each subject and choose Couple, Family, Friends or Me & my pet, and both appear together in one chibi scene. It is built for a couple portrait, a best-friends picture, or a drawn version of a user with their dog or cat, rather than generating two separate avatars that have to be placed together afterward.

Yes. Remix takes an avatar a user already generated and changes up to three things at once — hair colour or length, outfit, mood, background, or a seasonal prop such as glasses, a crown or a Halloween theme — without regenerating the whole character from the original photo. It is the way Chibify suggests trying a different look on a result a user already likes.

Per Chibify's Google Play listing, the app is free to download and creating images uses credits rather than a subscription: a standard HD image or a remix costs one credit, a Chibi Us scene costs two, an animated loop costs three, and a Studio Drop costs eight. Credit packs are bought once, the listing states they do not expire, and inviting a friend or keeping a daily creation streak adds free credits on top of a purchased pack.

Style of the Day highlights one featured style each day inside Chibify. Creating an avatar on 3, 7 or 30 days in a row earns free bonus credits, and a user can turn on an optional daily reminder if they want a nudge to keep the streak going rather than tracking it themselves.

Yes. Every creation in Chibify can be cut for a specific use: a sticker with the background removed for chats, a round avatar sized for a profile picture, a 1024×1024 square for a social post, or a phone-sized wallpaper. A before-and-after share card is also generated automatically, showing the original photo next to the finished avatar.

The Chibi Wall is a public feed inside Chibify where users can choose to publish a favourite creation for others to see. Posting is optional — nothing a user makes appears there unless they publish it — and the app does not show the poster's name on a Wall post. A user can take their own post down at any time, and any post or its author can be reported or blocked.

A photo a user uploads is sent to a third-party AI image service to generate the chibi result, and Chibify asks for consent before that first upload. Finished avatars are stored online so they appear later in My Chibis, but nothing goes on the public Chibi Wall unless the user publishes it themselves, and no account sign-up is required to start.
