Couples and friends each get the same treatment.

Make a caricature from a photo in 4 styles
Every style enlarges the head and the expression and keeps the rest of you recognizable. Pick the look that suits where the picture is going.
Classic
Bold marker outlines and soft watercolor color on a white background, like a caricature artist at a fair or a party. A good pick for a gift or a framed print.
3D
A polished 3D cartoon with smooth, rounded forms and soft studio light on a plain color background. It works well as a profile picture.
Pencil
Confident graphite lines and soft shading on white paper, in black and white. It looks hand drawn and suits cards and farewell gifts.
Painted
A bright digital painting with strong colors, visible brush texture and a simple gradient background. The most colorful of the four.
Caricature or cartoon?
Photo to Cartoon redraws you in a cartoon style at normal proportions, with 24 styles to choose from. The Caricature Maker also enlarges the head and your expression, the way a caricature artist would. For a large print, run the result through the AI Image Upscaler first.

Frequently asked questions about the caricature maker
Styles, credits and the photos that work best.
A caricature is a picture of a real person with some features drawn bigger for fun, most often the head and the smile. Artists at fairs and parties draw them in a few minutes. This tool makes one from your photo with AI.
A cartoon redraws you in a drawn or 3D style at normal proportions. A caricature also enlarges the head and your expression. Photo to Cartoon makes cartoons in 24 styles, and the Caricature Maker makes caricatures in 4 styles.
Each caricature costs 3 credits. The free plan gives you 10 credits a day, which is enough for 3 caricatures. Paid plans and credit packs add more.
A clear photo of one or two people with their faces fully visible, in good light, from the shoulders or waist up. Avoid sunglasses, strong shadows on the face and faces that are very small in the frame. JPG, PNG and WEBP files up to 5 MB work.
Every style tells the AI to keep each person's face shape, hair, glasses, facial hair, age and gender presentation, and skin tone in the color styles. Results still vary from photo to photo. If a face does not look right, run it again or try a clearer photo.
No. The styles enlarge only the head and your own smile or expression, and keep the result warm and flattering. They tell the AI not to exaggerate weight, body size, ethnic features or any feature in a mocking way.
Yes. Download it and print it at home or at a print shop. For a large print, run the result through the AI Image Upscaler first so it has more pixels.
