BeFunky Cartoonizer

BeFunky's Cartoonizer redraws a photo as a cartoon in one click. It reads the photo's outlines, shading and color depth to rebuild it as an illustration, and sliders adjust each effect between realistic detail and bold stylization. The styles span the Classic Cartoonizer, Cartoonizer DLX, Cartoonizer GFX, Graphic Novel, Pop Comic, Vintage Comic, Comic Noir and Pixel Art, and effects can stack for custom looks.

It runs in the browser and in BeFunky's iPhone and Android apps, exporting JPG, PNG or PDF. Every Cartoonizer style needs BeFunky Plus, a monthly or annual subscription that also covers the wider Digital Art collection.

Use BeFunky's Cartoonizer when you want a photo as a drawing:

• You want a cartoon avatar or profile picture from a selfie, in seconds and without drawing skills.
• You want to choose the flavor: comic-book panels, noir, vintage comics or pixel art, not one fixed cartoon look.
• You want to tune how far the effect goes. Sliders balance photo detail against stylization, and effects can stack.
• The cartoon is part of something bigger: BeFunky's editor, collage maker and templates take the result straight in.

Skip BeFunky's Cartoonizer if any of these describe you:

• You want an anime look specifically. Photo to anime tools are trained for that one style.
• You want a cartoon without paying. Every style here needs BeFunky Plus, a monthly or annual subscription.
• You need editable vector art. The export is JPG, PNG or PDF images, and other cartoonizers cover vector output.
