Cartoon templates for comics, characters, and content
A cartoon template is a ready-made starting point for cartoon content, so you're not drawing every panel and character from scratch. Browse cartoon-style templates, pick one, and edit it in your browser. Change the characters, swap the scene, rewrite the captions, and recolor to match your style. Start from a themed layout or a blank cartoon canvas.
Whatever you're making, there's a starting point here. Build a comic strip panel by panel, design a cartoon character, or lay out a meme. Then, when you want it to move, VEED can turn your cartoon template into an animated video, something a printable, static template can't do. Use our full suite of AI video tools to turn your ideas into animated content.
How to make a cartoon from a template:
Step 01
Browse templates and pick a cartoon
Explore the cartoon templates and pick a comic, character, or scene layout that fits your idea. Select it to open in the editor.
Step 02
Edit the template and swap in your elements
Replace the elements with yours. Change the characters, edit the captions and text, swap the background, and recolor to match your style.
Step 03
Download or animate your cartoon
Export your cartoon to download or share. Want it to move? Turn it into an animated video before you export.

Comic strips, panel by panel
Building a comic strip? Start from a multi-panel template, drop your characters into each frame, and add speech bubbles and captions. Lay out the story beat by beat, keep the style consistent across every panel, then export the finished strip.
Cartoon characters and faces
Need a character to start with? Generate one with the AI cartoon generator. Describe the look, pick a style, and get a cartoon character, face, or full-body design you can drop into your template. Use it as a profile picture, a comic lead, or a brand mascot.
Cartoon meme templates or videos
Making a meme? Start from a cartoon meme template, add your own caption, and export in seconds. Swap the reaction, change the text, and post it while the moment is still funny. Here's what a static template can't do. Take your cartoon into VEED and make it move. Bring a character to life with image-to-video AI, or cartoonize your own footage with the video cartoonizer to become your own animated character. Static cartoon or animated one, your call.
FAQ
A cartoon template is a ready-made design you customize instead of drawing from scratch. It gives you the characters, panels, or layout, so you just swap in your own text, colors, and scenes. In VEED, cartoon templates are editable in your browser, and you can start from a themed design or a blank cartoon canvas, then download or animate the result.
Yes. You can browse cartoon templates and start editing on a free VEED account, with no credit card required to sign up. Basic editing and export are included, though a free export carries a watermark. AI features, like generating a character or animating your cartoon, run on AI credits, and you'll see the cost before you use them. See the VEED pricing page for details.
A blank cartoon template is an empty canvas with no pre-set design, so you build the whole cartoon yourself. It's useful when you have a specific idea the themed templates don't cover. In VEED, start from a blank canvas, add your characters, panels, text, and colors, then download it or turn it into an animated video.
Yes, and it's the main reason to start here. Take your cartoon into VEED and animate it. Bring a character to life with image-to-video AI, or build a full animated cartoon with the cartoon maker, which adds voiceover, music, and stock animation. A static template becomes a video you can post on social media or use in an explainer.
You can download a cartoon you make in VEED as an image and print it, but VEED is built for on-screen and video content, not print worksheets. If you need static, printable drawing sheets or coloring outlines, a print-focused tool may fit better. Where VEED stands out is taking a cartoon further, adding motion, voice, and sound to turn it into a video.
Yes. Comic strips and memes are two of the most common things people make here. For a comic, start from a multi-panel template and lay out your story frame by frame. For a meme, pick a cartoon meme template, add your caption, and export in seconds.
