## What it does

Photo to Cartoon converts your photo into a flat 2D cartoon with thick outlines and bright fills, like a modern animated TV series.

## From our test

I used a laughing bearded man in a plaid flannel shirt in his backyard. The result had thick black outlines, the plaid redrawn in flat orange and blue, and the fence and trees turned into cartoon shapes, still clearly him, in 24 seconds.

## Tips

- Big expressions make the best cartoons.
- Patterned clothing gets redrawn in a simplified way.
- A clear photo where the face is easy to see works best.

## Ideas for using it

- Avatars for forums, Slack and gaming.
- Illustrations for a newsletter or blog.
- Custom stickers and mugs.

## How to use it

1. Upload your photo, or pick it from your library.
2. Press Generate. The look is already set up, so there is no prompt to write.
3. Your image is usually ready in under three minutes. Save it to your library or download it.

## 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.
