# Plushie Filter

> To turn a photo into a plushie, upload it to Kenerate AI Filter and pick the Plush Toy look. It remakes the person — or the pet — as a soft stuffed toy with fleece fabric, stitched seams and embroidered eyes, while keeping the pose, hairstyle, clothing colours and props. One image costs 10 credits on the default engine, takes about 10–20 seconds and has no watermark.

## Key facts
- Look: Plush Toy (3D & Toy group, look id “plush”)
- Style: Fleece fabric, stitched seams, embroidered eyes, sitting on a shelf
- Keeps: Pose, hairstyle, clothing colours, props — and pets in the shot
- Cost: 10 credits per image (Qwen Image 3 or Kenerate Filter) · 14 or 21 on the others
- Input: One photo · JPG, PNG or WebP · up to 20 MB
- Blend: Mix with any other look at 70/30, Even or 30/70

## Steps
1. Add one photo — Upload, snap with the camera, paste, or pick from History or your Library — JPG, PNG or WebP up to 20 MB. A clear, well-lit shot works best; for a pet, get down to its eye level.
2. Pick Plush Toy — It's in the 3D & Toy group, next to Claymation and Vinyl Figure.
3. Add a Twist if you want — One extra instruction of up to 300 characters, such as “keep the park background” or “add a ribbon bow”. It's optional.
4. Apply and compare — Drag the Compare slider, then Download, save to Cloud, Edit, Upscale, or use the result as the next photo to stack another look.

## In depth

### What makes a photo read as a plushie?
Texture and construction, more than shape. The Plush Toy look asks for fleece or felt fabric, visible stitched seams, embroidered eyes and slightly rounded, stuffed limbs, and it sits the toy on a shelf. In the demo above, the woman keeps her red bob, mustard jumper, jeans and boots, and her golden retriever becomes a fuzzy plush dog still resting on her lap.

### Turning a pet into a plushie
Pets are the most common reason people search for this. Every look tells the engine to keep each subject and not add or remove anyone, so a dog or cat in the frame is turned into a plush too, with its colouring and markings. A few habits help:
- Shoot at the pet's eye level, with the whole head and ideally the body in frame
- Distinct markings (a white blaze, patches, a collar) survive best on Qwen Image 3 or Kenerate Filter
- For two or more pets as a matching set, use GPT Image 2
- The look can move the toy onto a shelf — add a Twist like “keep the original background” if you want the real setting

### Getting a plushie that looks like you
A stuffed toy simplifies faces, so likeness comes from the things around the face: hair colour and cut, glasses, a moustache or beard, and the colours of your clothes. In the example of the older man in his bike workshop, his round glasses, white moustache, cardigan and wrench all make it through. Use a waist-up shot so the outfit shows, and switch to Kenerate Filter if the face drifts.

### Plush, crochet or mixed?
Plush Toy gives a fleece or felt stuffed toy. If you want visible yarn stitches and button eyes, Crochet is the amigurumi version. AI Filter can also blend two looks into one image at 70/30, Even or 30/70 — Plush Toy with Claymation, for example, gives a soft toy on a miniature stop-motion set.

### Can I get a real plush toy made?
Kenerate makes the picture, not the toy. Many custom plush makers work from a reference image, and a clean, front-facing plushie render is a useful brief: Upscale it first, and keep the original photo too, since makers usually want both. You can also animate the plushie — download it and use it as the start frame in Kenerate image to video.

## FAQ
Q: How do I turn my photo into a plushie?
A: Upload the photo to Kenerate AI Filter, pick the Plush Toy look and press Apply. It remakes you as a soft stuffed toy — fleece fabric, stitched seams, embroidered eyes — while keeping your pose, hair and outfit colours. The default engine, Qwen Image 3, returns one image in about 10–20 seconds for 10 credits.

Q: Can I turn my dog or cat into a plushie?
A: Yes. Pets in the photo are kept and turned into plush too, with their colouring and markings — the demo above is a woman and her golden retriever. Use a clear photo at the pet's eye level. For several pets as a matching set, GPT Image 2 handles it best.

Q: How much does the plush toy filter cost?
A: One image costs 10 credits on Qwen Image 3 or Kenerate Filter, 14 on Seedream 5 Pro and 21 on GPT Image 2. Each run returns one image, and a failed run is refunded automatically. New accounts get starter credits, and no subscription is required.

Q: Will the plushie still look like me?
A: As much as a stuffed toy can. The face gets simplified with embroidered-style eyes, so likeness comes from your hairstyle, glasses, facial hair and clothing colours, which the look keeps. Use a waist-up photo, and try Kenerate Filter, the identity-locked engine, if the face drifts.

Q: Why did my plushie end up on a shelf?
A: The Plush Toy look describes a stuffed toy sitting on a shelf, so with some photos the engine moves the toy into that setting. To keep your real background, add a Twist such as “keep the original background”.

Q: What's the difference between Plush Toy and Crochet?
A: Plush Toy is fleece or felt fabric with stitched seams and embroidered eyes. Crochet is an amigurumi doll with visible yarn stitches and button eyes. Both are in the 3D & Toy group, and you can blend them at 70/30, Even or 30/70.

Q: What photos work best?
A: One clear subject or a small group, good light, and the face and outfit visible — JPG, PNG or WebP up to 20 MB. People who are small in a wide shot carry less detail, so crop in first. Only use photos of people who agree to it.

Q: Can I turn the plushie into a video?
A: Not inside AI Filter, which returns one still image. Download the plushie and use it as the start frame in Kenerate image to video, then describe the motion, such as a wave or a little hop. Video uses a different tool and is priced per second.
