Turn Your Photo Into a Cartoon
Transform ordinary photos into a cartoon and comic masterpieces in seconds!






The Original Cartoon Photo Editor
BeFunky is more than just an AI cartoon generator. Rather than generating random cartoon pictures, our AI cartoon filters let you instantly transform your photos into cartoons. In 2007, we launched BeFunky with a single effect – the Cartoonizer™. It was the first-ever tool to turn photos into cartoons without the help of a professional artist. Since then, our cartoon converter has evolved, combining bold colors and striking linework to emulate iconic cartoons and comics. From classic filters to AI photo effects, our ever-growing library makes creating stunning cartoons from your photos easy. Explore the possibilities of our Artsy filters today and see why BeFunky is the go-to platform for photo-to-cartoon transformations.
