Turn a Photo Into a Cartoon
This is the other direction from generating art out of thin air: you already have the picture, and you want it drawn. The face, the pose and the composition are given — only the medium changes.
How far to push it is the only real decision. A light pass keeps the likeness and reads as a portrait someone illustrated; a heavy pass gives you a proper cartoon that your friends have to be told is you. Say which you want, because the model will happily land in the uncanny middle. The phrase that pulls it back towards likeness is "keep the facial proportions" — the phrase that pushes it the other way is "stylised, exaggerated features".

How to do it
- 1
Upload a photo with good light on the face. Cartooning amplifies bad light rather than hiding it.
- 2
Name the target medium: 3D animated film still, hand-drawn 2D cartoon, comic book panel, watercolour illustration.
- 3
Say whether likeness or style wins. "Keep the facial proportions" for likeness, "stylised and exaggerated" for character.

Questions
- Will people recognise me?
- If you ask it to keep the facial proportions, yes. Every style word you add past that trades likeness for style.
- Can I do a group photo?
- Yes, though the more faces in the frame the more one of them drifts. Two or three works best.
- Can I use it as a profile picture?
- That is what most people make these for, and the square shape is right there in the size list.
