Step 1
Upload the source photo
Portraits and product shots convert cleanly. Because editorial illustration reduces detail into deliberate shapes, choose a photo where the subject is clearly separated from the background.

How to use Illustration
Step 2
Define the editorial direction
Wan 2.6 defaults to clean shapes, controlled color, and clear subject hierarchy. Prompt a limited two-tone palette, magazine-cover framing, or flat vector-like fills to match your publication or campaign.
Step 3
Generate and export the illustration
Render the illustration, confirm the shapes read clearly at thumbnail size, then download in square or wide formats for articles, avatars, and campaign assets.

FAQ
Illustration FAQ
What does editorial illustration style actually mean?
It is the polished, intentional look used in magazines and brand campaigns: simplified shapes, a controlled palette, and a clear visual hierarchy. The converter rebuilds your photo with those rules instead of applying a texture filter.
How is this different from the watercolor or oil converters?
Those tools simulate physical paint media on Wan 2.6. This one uses the same model for graphic, design-led output — flatter color, crisper edges, and stronger composition — better suited to articles, decks, and brand visuals.
Can I match the illustration to my brand colors?
Yes. Name your palette in the prompt — for example, navy and coral with a cream background — and the illustration's color fields will be built around it, which is the fastest way to get on-brand campaign imagery.
Why does the result drop small background details?
Simplification is the point: editorial style keeps only shapes that support the subject. If a detail matters, mention it explicitly in the prompt and the model will preserve it as a deliberate design element.
