Turn Photos into Cartoons

Befunky Cartoonizer

— July 13, 2008 — Art & Design
Befunky Cartoonizer is a fun online application tool where you can make a cartoon based on a photo. No Photoshop or fancy software is required. You first upload a photo - the example here is Hillary Clinton and then in a few very easy steps, create a black and white sketch or a colored cartoon version. So, you can in essence, make sketches of yourself or anyone else without being able to draw!

This website also lets you create uvatar - avatars based on photos of yourself which is far more personalized and great for Facebook, Myspace and other social network sites. Their tips and tricks section give you some idea of the many ways you can use their applications. One great function of their “wrap” feature is to digitally make you lose 50 lbs! For instance, changing other photos into sketches could give you a way of making a custom cartoon strip. The annual family newsletter will never be the same again. So go ahead and “boost your creativity!”
