Image to Cartoon Converter

Turn a photo into a cartoon

Give any photo a comic-book look. The converter traces bold ink outlines along the edges in the picture and flattens its colours into a small palette of solid tones — the classic cartoon and cel-shaded style, ready for avatars, posters and fun posts.

How to cartoonize a photo

1. Upload a portrait, pet or landscape photo.
2. Set the ink outline density: higher values draw more and bolder lines.
3. Choose the number of colour steps: fewer steps give a flat, poster-like look; more keep it closer to the photo.
4. Save your cartoon.

Tips

• Well-lit photos with a clear subject turn out best.
• Busy backgrounds produce lots of lines — remove the background first for a cleaner result.
• Other looks: Photo to Sketch, Pixelate and Photo Filters.
