Caricature Maker

Like a street caricature artist: a big head on a small body, bigger eyes, a wider smile, a playful chin, drawn in pencil, pen or cartoon. The face is found on your device. People and pets.

The face is found on your device; head, eyes, smile and chin are exaggerated like a street caricature, then drawn as a pencil, pen or cartoon sketch. People and pets only.

How to make a caricature from a photo

  1. Drop a photo with a clear face (head and shoulders works best), or try the sample
  2. The face is found on your device (a 3.7 MB model, once) and the subject is cut out
  3. Slide Head, Eyes, Smile, Chin, Nose and Small body, or tap a quick look
  4. Pick the drawing: pencil, pen & ink, coloured pencil, cartoon or comic; paper or white background; add names as a title
  5. Press and hold to compare, then download

Two kinds of caricature

  • On this page: your real photo, exaggerated with face-aware warps and drawn as a sketch. Instant, private, always recognisably you.
  • Hand-drawn style: for the fully redrawn, artist-style caricature, use the prompt under the picture with ChatGPT or Gemini: those image models can redraw a face; a phone browser cannot yet.
  • Pets: without a face model for animals, the head is taken from the cut-out and enlarged: still fun.
  • Who it is for: people and pets. Objects and landscapes are refused: there is nothing to exaggerate.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the caricature maker (face ai) tool.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The face model and the cut-out run in your browser; the drawing is done on your device.

Why is it not as exaggerated as a drawn caricature?

It warps your real photo, so it stays recognisable. Push the sliders for more, or use the ChatGPT / Gemini prompt for a fully redrawn one.

Does it work with two people?

Yes, every face found is exaggerated; the small-body effect applies when there is one person.

Is it free?

Yes.
