Photo to Cartoon

This tool animates existing cartoon images rather than cartoonizing photos. To cartoon yourself or cartoonify an image, use AI image generators or online cartoon filters to make your picture a cartoon first. Then upload that image to VEED to add movement. This two-step approach gives you control over the cartoon style before adding motion.

Use AI image generators like ChatGPT, Nano Banana, Midjourney, or dedicated cartoon filter apps to turn a photo into a cartoon.

1. Upload your photo and specify the cartoon style: anime, comic book art, illustrated character, or stylized portrait.
2. Once you have your cartoonized image, upload it to VEED to add animation and movement. This two-step approach gives you control over both the cartoon style and the motion.

Most photo-to-cartoon tools just give you static cartoonized photos. VEED lets you take those images further with animation. Create your cartoon image using an AI generator, upload it to VEED, and describe the motion you want to see.

VEED works with any cartoon image style—anime characters, comic book art, or caricatures. The key is to start with a clear image from AI cartoon generators or illustration software. Our image-to-video AI then adds motion while preserving your chosen style.

VEED Animate is video-to-video technology that transfers your video's movements to a reference image. Record a video of yourself, upload a cartoon character image, and generate your animated video. Use it to create explainer videos where you become a cartoon presenter, or fun social media content where you appear as your cartoon persona.

VEED's AI playground uses a credit-based system for cartoon photo-to-video generation. Paid plans include monthly credits, with each AI model requiring different credit amounts per generation. You'll see the credit cost before generating a video so you can manage your credits effectively.
