A free account gets 16 credits to start and 4 free credits every day, and this tool uses 4 credits per image (Chibi and Kawaii run on a stronger model that keeps each person true to life, skin tone included; they use 8 credits and need a paid plan or a credit pack). Paid plans start at $9.9/month for 300 credits.

You must have the necessary rights to the original photo. Permitted uses of the cartoon result also depend on applicable law and the selected third-party model or provider terms.

You can upload a JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF image up to 10MB. The result is one cartoon image you can download.

The result is a new cartoon image, not a filtered copy of your photo, so it does not keep your original resolution. Its clarity suits web pages, profile pictures and social media. Results from free accounts carry a small eidora.io badge.

Currently, the tool offers a selection of distinct cartoon styles to choose from. While direct intensity sliders aren't available, you can experiment by applying different pre-defined styles to find the one that best suits your vision for the image.

Your uploads, prompts and results are saved privately to your history so you can view and download them later, and only you can open them (if you are not signed in, they are tied to your browser session). To create a result, your input is sent to the AI model provider that runs the generation. We do not sell your content or use it to train AI models.

Our Photo to Cartoon AI tool is designed for single image conversions to ensure optimal processing and quality for each transformation. You can easily process multiple images one after another by uploading them individually.

Uploads can be up to 10MB, in JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF format. There is no resolution setting for the result, and its clarity suits web pages and social media.

You upload one photo, pick a style and get a cartoon version of the same person, scene and pose, usually in 20 to 60 seconds. There are 9 styles, and you can describe your own in Custom.
