Photo to Cartoon FAQ

Is this the same as Photo to Sticker?

No. This keeps your whole photo as a cartoon scene. Photo to Sticker makes a cut-out chibi sticker.

Can I use it on pets?

Yes, any subject works.

Is Photo to Cartoon free?

Yes, to try. A free PixelDojo account gets 3 effects a day across Photo Effects and Video Effects, with a small watermark. Subscribers make as many as they like with no watermark.

Who owns the result, and can I use it commercially?

We assign you whatever rights we hold in the result, so you can use it in your own projects, commercial ones included, as long as what you uploaded was yours to use. Unsaved results are deleted after 24 hours, so save the ones you want to keep.

Can I use a photo of someone else?

Only photos of adults, of yourself or of people who agreed to it, and only images you have the right to edit. Every upload goes through the same safety checks as the rest of PixelDojo.
