How to turn a photo into a cartoonAdd the photo. Name the style.

  1. Add your photo

    Open the image editor and add a clear photo. Faces in good light, not covered, work best.

  2. Name the cartoon style

    Start the prompt with the look: the lines, the colors, the shading. The more exact the words, the closer the result.

  3. Say what to keep

    List what makes the person them: hair, glasses, clothes, what they hold. Ask for up to four at once and keep the best.

Image editor

Cartoon yourselfChoose how far it exaggerates

One photo, three prompts in the image editor. Each cartoon was made from the photo, not from the one before it.

The same man as a caricature with a larger bald head, fuller beard and wider smile

Caricature

“Exaggerate what makes him recognizable, a little.”

Prompt

Redraw this photo as a caricature in black ink and colored markers. Exaggerate what makes him recognizable, a little: a larger shiny bald head, a fuller grey beard, bushier dark eyebrows and a wider smile, on a slightly smaller body. Keep the red and navy tartan flannel shirt with rolled sleeves, the potted tomato plant held in both hands, and the garden shed with its pegboard of tools behind him, drawn simply. No text.

Family, couples and petsEveryone in the photo comes along

Name each person by what they wear and say where the dog sits. The cartoon keeps them all.

The photo
The couple and their terrier as a 2D TV cartoon on the same bench among golden ginkgo leaves
2D TV cartoon · Image editor
Prompt

Turn this photo into a 2D TV cartoon: clean bold outlines, bright flat colors, simple expressive faces and big friendly smiles. Keep both of them and the dog: her platinum bob with a fringe, cream turtleneck and green quilted jacket, his salt-and-pepper hair, round tortoiseshell glasses and camel overcoat, and the scruffy grey terrier sitting between them looking at the viewer. Keep the wooden bench, the golden ginkgo leaves, the stone lantern and the red maple. No text.

What works
  • Every face visible and in good light
  • Name each person by what they wear
  • Name the pet and what it does
  • Check every face before you download

The sentence

A classic 2D cartoon character on his own: a short, round lighthouse keeper in his sixties with a huge curly ginger beard, a bulbous red nose, a yellow raincoat and black rubber boots, holding up an old brass lantern, with a cheeky seagull standing on his knitted blue cap. He stands on wet rocks in front of a red and white striped lighthouse while a wave splashes behind him. Thick wobbly outlines, bright flat colors, simple shading, a pale blue sky. No text, no logos.

Photo to animated cartoonThen make it move

Use the cartoon as the first frame in the video generator and describe the motion. The clip keeps the picture's shape.

Motion prompt

The woman from the first frame bursts out laughing at something off camera and tips her head back so far that her red glasses slide down her nose. She pushes them back up with one finger, then takes a sip from the yellow mug and grins over the rim. The plants on the windowsill sway in the sun. 3D animated feature style and warm morning light as in the first frame. Slow push in from a medium shot to a close-up on her face. No narration.
