How to cartoonize a photo
Frequently asked questions
- You can convert a photo to a cartoon by simply uploading a photo from your phone or desktop gallery, to our AI cartoon generator. In seconds, the tool transforms your image into a cartoon version using AI, so even if you don’t have any sketching know-how, or the time to do it manually, you can still get a cartoonified photo in your hands in seconds!
- No, the AI cartoon generator doesn't leave a watermark, so you don’t have to worry about removing unwanted text or logos from your cartoons.
- You’re already in the right place. Canva’s Photo to Cartoon tool is an AI cartoon generator that runs natively on this page, so you don’t have to install anything. Upload your photo and watch it turn into a cartoon automatically, then describe any tweaks you’d like, such as a softer sketch style or bolder colors, and regenerate until it feels right. When it’s done, download it in high-quality PNG or JPG, or open it in the Canva editor to keep designing.
