About
Turn your photos into anime, cartoon and hand-drawn art in seconds. Photo Cartoonizer runs entirely on your iPhone and iPad, so your pictures never leave your device. No account, no uploads, no waiting in a queue.
Pick a photo, tap a style, and watch it change. Every style shows a live preview made from your own picture, so you know exactly what you will get before you choose.

MAKE IT YOURS
Open the Adjust panel and fine-tune the result without starting over:
- Style Strength: blend the effect with your original photo
- Saturation, Brightness and Warmth
- Brush Size: bolder, flatter, more painterly shapes (Pro)
- Ink Outlines: a crisp hand-drawn finish (Pro)
- Keep Original Colors: the art style with your real colors (Pro)
- Person or Background: style only the person, or only what is behind them (Pro)
- Protect Faces: keep portraits natural (Pro)
On iPad and in landscape on iPhone, the Adjust panel sits beside your photo, so you see every change as you make it. Brush Size runs the style again; everything else updates instantly.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Most cartoon and anime apps send your face to a server. Photo Cartoonizer does not. All processing happens on the Neural Engine and GPU of your iPhone or iPad. It works offline, even in airplane mode, with no sign-up, no email and no tracking. Your photos stay yours.
FAST ON YOUR DEVICE
The AI engine is tuned for Apple chips. A typical photo is ready in a few seconds, with no daily limits and no watermark.
