Emotions are the Main Spice

The secret ingredient of any photo hides in emotions. You can be sad or glad, calm or excited, but the main point is that you should be sincere. Look at photos of children: they have natural expressions in most images. Learn from kids. Remember: even simple photos will look great if you remain natural and emotional.

Fun with faces and cartoons

Sometimes the only thing a photo lacks is a little bit of emotion. If you are one of those people who do not take their photos too seriously, there are plenty of ways for you to play with face photos: change face expressions, apply realistic emotions, warp the face making it look freaky or turn a photo into a cartoon to boost the fun. It can be done right in your browser with just a couple of clicks.

First of all upload your photo to Cartoon.Pho.to. You can either choose to upload it from disk or via URL if the image already exists somewhere on the Internet.

When the image is uploaded, the cartoon filter is applied to it by default. Here is an example:

Funny Girl Cartoon

At this point you get access to face morphing options that enable you to create animated photo caricatures from face photos. Just check the ‘Face morphing’ box and you will see the list of available emotions. Meanwhile a ‘Smile’ already appears on the face:

Move further and you will be able to make a person flirt, wink or raise eyebrows in surprise!

Welcome New Color Filters: «Blue Only», «Green Only» and «Red Boost»!

We added 3 more cool photo effects for the artistic minded folks:

1) http://funny.pho.to/blue_only/ – leaves only the blue color in your photos. All other colors become black and white (great for emphasizing the blue eyes).

2) http://funny.pho.to/green_only/ – leaves only the green color and its shades in your photos. All other areas become black and white, too.

Green Only

3) http://funny.pho.to/red_boost/. This effect emphasizes the red color in your photos, and also leaves the skin color untouched. All other colors become black and white. This creates a kind of retro look in your photos.
