Questions

Drawing to plush, answered

Will I get a real stuffed animal?
No, you get a photo of the toy as it would look, to send, post or print. If you want it made, a maker who sews toys from kids' drawings can work from this photo and the drawing.
Will it keep the way my kid drew it?
It is built to: the toy keeps the drawing's shapes, colors and counts, and gets nothing the drawing doesn't have. In our runs the monster kept its three eyes and its horns, the cat its one big green eye, and Blubby the octopus her bow. If something was evened out, run it again.
What drawings work best?
A drawing on paper, photographed flat in good light, with the whole drawing in view and no hands or people in the photo. Crayon, marker and pencil all work.
What does Drawing to plush make?
Your kid's drawing as a real handmade toy: plush, knitted, wooden or vinyl, with every wobble, extra leg and crayon color kept.
What photo works best?
A photo or scan of a drawing on paper, the whole drawing in view. Keep people and hands out of the photo.
How does it work?
Take a photo of a drawing on paper, with the whole drawing in view and no hands in it. Pick the toy: plush, knitted, wooden, vinyl or a surprise. Type a name for its tag if you like. Get a photo of the toy in under half a minute.
What can I choose?
Toy: Plush, Knitted, Wooden toy, Vinyl art toy or Surprise me. Leave any of them to Surprise me.
How much does it cost?
From $0.25 an image, and you see the exact price before you press go. A run that fails costs nothing, there is no subscription, and you can start free without a card.
Can I use the result commercially?
Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
Can I run it from code?
Yes. Developers run it as leap/drawing-plush through the Leap API, at the same price, with the same choices.

It runs on Nano Banana 2.1, with the prompting done for you. Rather write your own? Open a model's page and start from there.
