How your photo becomes a cartoon

You upload 1–3 photos, our AI paints an avatar from them in the style of a hand-drawn comic – and you see it for free before you order. Then the film is made: script, scenes, voices and music, starring you or your loved ones.

  • Free avatar preview, repaint up to 3×
  • People, pets and cars
  • Finished film by email, from €29

Which photos work best?

Face clearly visible, good lighting, no sunglasses – ideally one photo from the front, one slightly from the side and one full-length. The more photos, the more your avatar will look like you.

For pets: the whole animal, with the coat clearly visible. For cars: front, side and rear.
