This is a brilliant tool for storyboarding and creating concept art. It perfectly captures the charm of claymation. The fingerprint texture option is a fantastic touch. It’s cracking good, Gromit!

Turning my cat into a claymation character was the best thing I’ve ever done for my social media. The post got so much engagement. He looks so cute and squishy!

We made our family portrait into a claymation scene for our holiday card. It was so much more charming and personal than a regular photo. We loved the result.

I used this to make a clay version of my favorite video game character. It looks like official merchandise! A really cool and unique art style.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our digital clay studio.
How does the AI make my photo look like clay?
Our AI uses a combination of 3D modeling and texture mapping. It first builds a simple 3D model based on your photo, and then applies a realistic clay texture to the surface, complete with simulated lighting and shadows.
Will it look like a specific claymation movie?
Our default style is inspired by classic claymation films. You can also choose specific styles, like a more detailed ‘Laika-style’ or a simpler ‘Gumby-style’.
Can I animate my clay character?
Yes! Our stop-motion GIF creator can take your static clay image and add a subtle, jittery animation that mimics the look and feel of real stop-motion.
What kind of photos work best?
The filter works on almost anything! Portraits, landscapes, and even photos of objects can be transformed into charming clay creations.
Can I choose the colors of the clay?
Yes, our color palette control allows you to choose a specific set of colors for your clay creation, or you can let the AI choose a vibrant, multi-colored palette for you.
Is this just a texture overlay?
No, it’s much more advanced. The AI rebuilds the shapes and depth of your photo to make it look like a true 3D clay model, not just a flat photo with a clay texture on top.
Can I use the art I create for commercial purposes?
Yes, the images you create are royalty-free and can be used for things like social media branding, website illustrations, or even merchandise.
Does it work on pets?
Absolutely! Turning pets into clay characters is one of the most popular uses of our tool. It perfectly captures their cute, squishy features.
Do you store my photos?
No. Your privacy is important. Your photos are processed in real-time to create your clay art and are not stored on our servers.
Is this free?
Yes, you can create a variety of clay images for free. For advanced features like the stop-motion GIF creator and high-resolution downloads, we offer a Pro version.
