Keep the pose from a photo, ship it as an illustration

Sometimes the picture already exists. A founder photo, a product shot, a reference of a real room. You do not need a new composition. You need it to look illustrated.
Turn photo into illustrations takes the upload and redraws it in an Illustro style.
What to upload
A clear subject, decent light, not a tiny crop. Group photos and heavy filters make the conversion harder. A single person, animal, or object against a simple background works better.
Keep the pose you like. Change the style to match the rest of the product: flat, 3D, children's, whatever the site already uses. A 3D clay portrait next to flat landing-page illustration will look like two products.
After you have the illustration, you can still edit it. The photo is the starting point, not the final file. Recolor and crop in the editor once the pose is locked. If you only needed a logo-style drawing, convert the photo to line art instead.
