Best Practices for Perfect Results
Photo Quality
Use high-resolution photos (at least 800x800 pixels) with good lighting and clear visibility of features. Avoid blurry, dark, or low-quality images for best cartoon conversion results.
Composition
Center your face in the frame with adequate spacing around it. Close-up portraits work best, showing head and shoulders. Avoid extreme angles or tilted poses.
Lighting
Well-lit photos with even lighting produce better results. Avoid harsh shadows, backlighting, or extreme lighting conditions that obscure facial features.
Background
Simple, clean backgrounds work best. While the tool handles various backgrounds, less cluttered backgrounds help the cartoon effect focus on your face.
