Cartoon Effect

Give photos a cartoon look with flat colors and outlines, free.

Cartoon Effect gives a photo a comic or cartoon look, with flat areas of color and clear outlines. It is a fun way to create avatars, posters, greeting cards and social media pictures from your own photos.

Upload a picture and the tool applies the cartoon effect in one step, so there is nothing to configure. You receive a new picture and your original stays untouched. The upload limit is 20 MB, and no account or installation is needed.

How to use Cartoon Effect

  1. Click the upload field and choose your photo (up to 20 MB).
  2. Press Generate and wait a moment.
  3. Download the cartoon version.
  4. Compare it with the original to see the difference.

Tips for better results

  • Clear subjects with simple backgrounds look best.
  • Busy photos with lots of detail can look cluttered after the effect.
  • Use a sharp, well-lit photo for the cleanest outlines.
  • Try it on portraits and pets, which are the most popular uses.
