Can I get the look of a famous anime studio?

We describe styles in general terms rather than copying a particular studio or artist. Pick the style closest to what you want.

Can I use the photos commercially?

Photos of yourself are yours to use. Don't upload photos of other people without their permission.

Why do some results look different from me?

AI isn't perfect. Clear, front-facing photos in good light work best. Try again with different photos if a result misses.
