Photo to Cartoon

Photo to Cartoon is a simple application which offers a few basic functions that allow you to turn ordinary photographs into cartoons. It can be used by rookies with ease.

The interface of the program is plain and easy to work with. Loading an image can be done with the help of the file browser only, since the 'drag and drop' functionality is not included. It is not possible to work with multiple pictures at the same time.

Photo to Cartoon supports few formats for the input, including JPG, BMP, WMF, EMF and GIF. By accessing a window from the 'Make' menu, you can configure image settings.

You can adjust the scalar, region and sleek values. But you can also create a pencil, pen, or pen and ink sketch, as well as adjust the pencil and pen pressure, pen and ink density.

On top of that, you can adjust the brightness level, apply a grayscale filter, enable dyeing and sketching, clear spots, use a color picker, and make the picture smooth. Once the project is done, you may print it or save it to file (JPG, BMP or WMF).

The graphic editing tool runs on a very low amount of CPU and system memory, has a good response time and quickly applies changes to images. We have not come across any issues during our tests; Photo to Cartoon did not freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs.

On the downside, there is no help file available, and Photo to Cartoon integrates limited features. For example, you cannot configure program settings, such as making the app minimize to the system tray area. No recent updates have been made.
