Style intensity is adjustable from subtle to strong. ## How to use Photo to Cartoon 1. **Upload a photo** Choose a JPEG, PNG, or WebP — portraits, family shots, and pets all work. 2. **Ask for a cartoon** Say “turn this into a cartoon,” or add direction like “comic style” or “soft pastel cartoon.” 3. **Set the intensity** Keep the 0.7 default, dial down toward 0.3 for a subtle stylization, or up toward 0.95 for a fully redrawn look. 4. **Review and download** Check faces and small details, then download the JPG or re-run with a tweaked description or intensity. ## Photo to Cartoon examples Real results from Made.

Made prompts Google’s Nano Banana model on Replicate to restyle the whole image while keeping the same composition, subjects, and layout, and returns the result as a JPG. **Will the cartoon still look like the people in the photo?** The composition, subjects, and layout are preserved, and at moderate intensity the resemblance usually carries through. Cartoon styles simplify features by design, and results vary per run — review faces and re-run at a lower intensity if you want a closer likeness. **Can I cartoon a photo of my pet?** Yes. Pets work the same way as people — the animal stays in the same pose and position, redrawn in a cartoon style. Group shots with people and pets together are also fine, since the whole image is restyled at once. **How strong is the cartoon effect?** That’s up to you. Style intensity is adjustable from 0.3, which keeps the photo mostly intact with light stylization, to 0.95, which fully redraws it; the default is 0.7. Start at the default and adjust from there. **What is the difference between Photo to Cartoon and Photo to Anime?** Both restyle the whole image with the same workflow, but this page targets general cartoon looks — bold outlines, simplified shapes, flat color — while Photo to Anime targets anime-style illustration specifically. Pick the page matching the aesthetic you want. **Can I choose a specific cartoon style?** You can steer the look with generic descriptions like “comic-book style,” “soft pastel cartoon,” or “flat vector cartoon.” The tool works from your description rather than named shows or studios. **What file do I get back?** A JPG of the cartooned image. Each request processes one JPEG, PNG, or WebP image; run the tool again to try a different style or intensity.
