Eidora's anime star eye trend page turns one selfie into a vertical anime portrait of you with sparkling star-shaped eyes, same face, hair and outfit, made with GPT Image 2.5, OpenAI's image model (4 credits, usually 20 to 60 seconds). Then a 6-second video on MiniMax H3 where the stars twinkle (25 credits, usually 1 to 3 minutes per video; videos need a paid plan or a credit pack: a new account can buy 40 credits for $1.99 once, enough for one video, and the one-time $4.99 Starter pack covers four videos). Sign up free for 6 credits to make the still.

How to make your Anime Star Eye Trend video
Upload a photo of yourself
A clear, well-lit photo with your face visible works best. A selfie or a half-body photo both work.

Make the stars twinkle
Turn the portrait into a 6-second vertical video for 25 credits: a smile and twinkling eyes. A new account can buy 40 credits for $1.99 once, enough for one video.
What is the anime star eye trend?
The anime star eye trend started on TikTok in October 2026: people turn a photo of themselves into an anime-style face whose big eyes carry a bright star-shaped sparkle, and post it with the original photo. It is also called the anime eye trend or the anime star face trend.
This page makes that portrait from your own photo in one step: an anime drawing of you in one vertical image you can post right away, then a short video if you want it.
How to make the anime star eye photo
In a chat app: attach a clear photo of yourself, paste a prompt asking for an anime version of you with star-shaped sparkles in the eyes, and send. If the face changes or stars float over the whole picture, try again.
Here it is one step: upload the photo above and press the button. The anime style, the star eyes and the framing are already set, and the portrait keeps your face shape, hair and outfit.
- A prompt to start from in any image app: "Redraw me as an anime portrait in an original anime style: same face, same hair, same clothes, big glossy eyes with a four-pointed star-shaped sparkle in each iris, soft pastel background, vertical 9:16. No text."
Tips for the best result
The model keeps the face from your photo, so the photo matters more than anything else.
- Use a photo with only you in it, facing the camera, in good light.
- Skip sunglasses and hats; glasses you wear every day stay on.
- If the face drifts, try a sharper photo taken from the front.
- Post it next to your original photo, the way the trend videos do.
Not an official template
This is an unofficial take on a trend for fun and creative posts. It is not affiliated with TikTok, any anime studio or character, or any creator who made the original tutorials, and uses no pictures from them.

Anime Star Eye Trend questions
Is the anime star eye trend free?
The still portrait runs on a free account: it starts with 6 credits; each still uses 4 credits. Videos use 25 credits and need a paid plan or a credit pack. A new account can buy 40 credits for $1.99 once, within 72 hours of signing up, enough for one video; otherwise the one-time $4.99 Starter pack (100 credits) covers four videos, with no subscription.
How do I make the anime star eye photo?
Upload one clear photo of yourself above and press the button; the prompt is already written. You get a vertical anime portrait of you with star-shaped sparkles in your eyes, and you can turn it into a 6-second video if you like.
What does the anime star eye trend look like?
It is an anime-style portrait of you with large, glossy eyes that each carry a bright star-shaped highlight. Your hair, face shape and clothes stay yours; only the drawing style and the eyes change.
Do I need a prompt or a chat app?
No. The portrait is made with GPT Image 2.5, OpenAI's image model, and the video with MiniMax H3 (Vidu takes over if H3 cannot make it), with the prompt already built in. Eidora is not affiliated with OpenAI, MiniMax, TikTok, any AI chat app or any anime studio.
Will the portrait look like me?
That is what to check first, and you see it before paying for anything: the still uses 4 of your free credits. The prompt tells the model to keep your face shape, skin tone, hairstyle, facial hair, glasses and outfit as in your photo and to change only the drawing style and the eyes. If it looks off, press Not quite under the result and say what is wrong, then try again with a sharper photo taken from the front in good light; a new portrait uses another 4 credits. No AI tool gets the likeness right every time.
What kind of photo works best?
A photo of just you, in good light, facing the camera with your face clearly visible and no sunglasses. Selfies and half-body photos both work. Group photos get merged into one figure, so crop to one person first.
Will it copy a specific anime character?
No. The style is a generic, original anime look, not any existing character or show, and the page uses no pictures from them.
How long does it take?
Usually 20 to 60 seconds for the still and 1 to 3 minutes for the video. Keep the tab open while the video renders.
Can I post the result on TikTok and Instagram?
Yes. Results are vertical 9:16, the format TikTok, Reels and Shorts expect. Stills made on a free account carry a small eidora.io badge in the corner; paid plans and credit-pack holders get clean results, and videos never carry it.
What happens to my photo?
Your upload and results are kept privately in your history so you can download them again; only you can open them. To make the result, the photo is sent to the AI model provider that renders it. We don't sell your content or use it to train AI models.
Your photo, the Anime Star Eye Trend way. About 30 seconds for the still.
