Me In Comics: Create Anime Avatars from a Photo
Me In Comics

Lensa AI remains in the top 10 of the App Store, confirming that the demand for alternative avatars created with artificial intelligence is still very high. Naturally, me too projects didn't take long to appear, and one of the ones making the most noise is Me In Comics, coming from China. The idea is to share a photograph and let the algorithm on the other end generate an avatar in anime style using the original image as a reference…

One of the most powerful resources in image generation platforms is called Img2Img. In essence, we offer an image as a starting point for transformation, and depending on its initial configuration, the algorithm can apply minimal changes, or deliver a completely different image.

If we add the possibility of creating personalized models, the appearance of apps and services seeking to compete with Lensa AI is inevitable. One of those competitors is Me In Comics, developed by the Chinese giant Tencent. Me In Comics began making its rounds on Twitter in late November, and today it arrives in our hands to put it to the test for a while.

The site is designed for mobile and tablets, but you can use it on the desktop... with patience

The site has clearly been designed for use on mobile devices. Both Chrome and Firefox can load Me In Comics on the desktop, but the buttons end up in the wrong position, and you'll need to aim with a bit more care.

In the first it respected the background... but in the second it changed almost everything

Image upload is relatively fast, but not its generation and subsequent download. This suggests higher than normal pressure on the server, however, with a bit of patience you can appreciate its results. The image is divided into two, with a copy of the original material, and its transformed version.

What can you expect from Me In Comics? Our tests have been quite varied. In some cases it managed to respect the content of the background and the general pose, while in others it replaced every aspect of the image without exception.

Classic double-eyelid error in the first image, and when given an image closer to anime... it made it 'more anime' still

To finish... privacy. There is no doubt that Me In Comics collects information, and its EULA indicates that both the images uploaded and those generated by its algorithm will remain stored for seven days. Personally, I recommend using public images that have already been shared on social networks.
