Cartoonify — Turn a photo a cartoon drawing, using a neural network

Brilliant. While very different, this reminds me of Google's Autodraw. RIP, artists. J/k. 😉

Hi Product Hunt fam - We took a break from building Kapwing to make Cartoonify, an artificially-intelligent sketch artist that illustrates what happens when you ask a computer to draw (spoiler: your 5-year-old cousin has better skillz 👩🏽‍🎨) We wanted to explore TensorFlow and show off the work of Dan Macnish. This is our first AI project so we're still learning a lot about the technology! It's exciting to develop on the frontier of ML-powered creativity 💻🖌 We'd love to see your best and funniest cartoons! Happy cartooning

Hey, guys! Really interesting and hope that it would be better some time. Excited to realise that my photo is made by a machine. https://www.kapwing.com/cartooni...

Congrats for the launch, it's very funny to use :) Beside the fact my 5-year-old cousin has better draw skill, it makes me curious about the AI algorithm behind the tool https://github.com/danmacnish/ca...

This was a blast! I uploaded some of my art, and let the AI make art from my art. Now I'm tempted to take that art and make art from the art of my art.

Really quick for uploading pictures, and clean website.

Pros:

Funny

Cons:

If you want something well drawn you'll miss the fun.

Should check the product half year later

Pros:

Uses NN to read image and draw similar cartoon

Cons:

It is at too early stage, low quality, not ready for public yet.

Well done. Having fun with this so far.

Pros:

Very cool! Well done

Cons:

Artists have competition now :)

I uploaded 5 images-3 failed 2 came back like some mentally challenged had a pencil stuck in their nose and face planted the screen/ !0 minutes I'll never get back...

Pros:

None

Cons:

Waste of time. Go make money someplace.

Would be cool if it worked, but it doesn't even try

Pros:

Idea

Cons:

Nothing like presented

Maybe wast of time, but after the second pic, i got it- and i like it- because its fun and makes ma laugh :)

Congrats on the launch. Can you speak a bit about the training data you might have used?

Gave me a blank page

Pros:

Cool concept but didn't work for me

Cons:

Doesn't work

Uploaded two photos...two clear photos, the cartoon version was utter shit!

Pros:

its fast

Cons:

its of no use

It still needs more time to draw well. anyway good luck!

So relieved that the bots won't take over any time soon :)

Love this 😊😊

This is really funny, I just can't stop uploading new photos! Beautiful idea

Do not use this company they are crooks. The picture looked nothing like my family. Characters did not resemble my family at all. I told them and they said they would revise it. But then sent me the same “revised” image with no changes. I requested a refund because I was not satisfied after the revision. And the customer service ICEE was very rude.
