Cartoon Portrait is the illustrated version of your photo in the style you pick. Classic Cartoon gives bold outlines and bright flat colors. 3D Animated makes you a soft-lit character from a modern animated feature. Comic Book brings strong ink, dynamic shading and halftone dots. Anime offers clean line art and cel shading. Caricature gently exaggerates features while keeping you recognizable. Flat Vector reduces the frame to simple geometric shapes, and Retro Cartoon revives the limited palette and rubber-hose charm of 1960s animation.
The composition of your photo is preserved — pose, framing, background and every person in it — so a family photo becomes a family cartoon and a pet on the sofa becomes a pet on a cartoon sofa. Likeness carries through hair, face shape, glasses, clothing and coloring. It is used for birthday and anniversary cards, kids' room prints, team pages with a lighter tone, social avatars and gifts for people who already have every photo of themselves.
A Standard run costs 4 credits and takes seconds; Pro and Max finishes give cleaner lines and richer shading for prints. Run one photo through several styles and compare on the contact sheet. For a head-and-shoulders avatar on a plain background, Avatar Maker is built for that; for the specific Japanese anime treatment of a whole scene, Photo to Anime is the dedicated tool. Upscale the finished cartoon before sending it to print.

Good to know
How strong is the caricature?
Gentle. Features are exaggerated enough to be playful while the person stays clearly recognizable — it is a card, not a roast.
Which style prints best for a child's room?
3D Animated and Classic Cartoon are bright and friendly at poster size. Shoot at Pro and upscale to 16 MP for an A2 print.
Can I cartoon a photo of my dog?
Yes. Pets are drawn in the chosen style with their markings and expression kept. Pet Portrait also has a dedicated cartoon option.
Does the background get cartooned too?
Yes. The whole frame is rendered in the style, so the setting becomes part of the illustration.
Can I try Cartoon Portrait without paying?
Yes. A new account comes with 4 free credits — one Standard run of Cartoon Portrait or any other tool — and no card is needed.
