Cartoonize turns photos into cartoons, sketches, and other artwork, with AI-powered effects and editing tools. Users can remove backgrounds, crop and resize images, edit text, adjust color, draw, and work with layers. Artistic options include cartoon, sketch, painting, digital-art, filter, and overlay effects. The service lists over 4 million high-resolution stock photos and over 50,000 vector graphics and icons. Projects can be exported as JPG, PNG, or PDF at up to 400 DPI. Editing is available online and offline through a downloadable PWA app, and the web platform supports Mac, Windows PC, and Linux with a suitable machine and internet connection. Free Basic offers essential effects and features without registration. Pro costs $6.99 a year, billed annually at $83.88, or $9.99 a month. Basic and Pro users may commercially benefit from projects and photos they create or edit. Free mobile apps are available for iOS and Android, but subscription management is limited to desktop or PC.

Toonizer is a browser-based AI generator that converts uploaded photos into cartoon artwork. Users upload an image, select one of 12 style channels, or describe a look in a custom prompt, then download the generated result. Available one-tap styles include 90s cartoon, Studio Ghibli inspired, Pixar-style 3D, cyberpunk anime, pet portraits, retro anime, pixel art, and superhero comic. The service runs on desktop and mobile browsers without an app installation. It accepts JPG, PNG, WEBP, and GIF files up to 10 MB, and downloads have no watermark. Toonizer presents the tool for selfies, family portraits, and pet photos. Free accounts receive a daily generation allowance, although the terms say some generations require credits. The Free plan is free, with no credit card required. Users retain ownership of original photos and may use generated cartoons personally and for limited commercial purposes. Toonizer is based in İzmir, Turkey, and requires users to be at least 13.
