How to Turn Photos into Cartoon Avatars

Avatoon (Android and iOS)

First, you need to let the app access your camera and photos. Take a photo or select the image you want to turn into a cartoon avatar. Let Avatoon do its magic.

You can also create an avatar without uploading any photos. Simply use the app’s ready-made shapes to define your avatar’s characteristics so that it looks like you.

For a few hundred coins, you can also make up your avatar. You can add an eyeliner line, longer eyelashes, and more. If you’re wearing glasses, you can add a pair of glasses to your cartoon avatar as well.

After you created your avatar, you can further customize it. For example, you can change the clothes, change the background, and even select a different pose.

I really enjoyed playing with the Pose options. Your avatar can say Hi, play the guitar, and even do the Tree Pose.avatoon pose options

Important Notes

  • The free version of the app has all the features you need to create really amazing cartoon avatars. But you’ll need to watch some ads every now and then.
  • Avatoon uses a coin-based system to unlock additional customization options. For example, you can watch an ad for 30 seconds to earn 200 coins.
  • If you’re tired of ads, you can go for the Premium app version.
  • You can use your cartoon avatar to create GIFs.
