Does this only remove the colors from my photo?

No. The goal is to reinterpret the image as manga-style illustration with ink lines and screentone shading, not merely convert it to grayscale.

Will I still look like myself?

The effect aims to retain recognizable features, but highly stylized rendering may simplify facial details.

Can I convert a photo with two people?

You can try group photos, but complex scenes may be less consistent than a clear single-subject image.

Is this the same as adding a speech bubble?

No. The effect focuses on visual manga artwork, not automatic comic lettering or panel layout.

Which images work best?

Clear subjects, visible facial features, and good separation from the background usually give the style more to work with.

Manga Art vs. a Black-and-White Photo

A grayscale photo retains realistic lighting and texture; manga illustration relies on intentional contours, ink shadows, and pattern-based shading. This tool aims for the second look, although fine screentone details may vary.
