Cartoonify β€” Turn a photo a cartoon drawing, using a neural network

What happens when artificial intelligence tries to draw your photo? Cartoonify turns your photo into a cartoon drawing, powered by Draw This by Dan Macnish and the Google QuickDraw dataset.

Brilliant. While very different, this reminds me of Google's Autodraw. RIP, artists. J/k. πŸ˜‰

Love this 😊😊

Hahaha this is so derpy and hilarious I love it πŸ˜‚

This was a blast! I uploaded some of my art, and let the AI make art from my art. Now I'm tempted to take that art and make art from the art of my art.
Julia Enthoven
@dawnmicaela Haha that's the beauty of ML-powered art! It's not actually beautiful, but it might inspire you to make sometime else that is beautiful. Did you cartoonify some good art?

@juliaenthoven This is what it created from one of my pieces:
Bryan Rosenblatt

Well done. Having fun with this so far.

Pros:

Very cool! Well done

Cons:

Artists have competition now :)

Olav
So relieved that the bots won't take over any time soon :)
Julia Enthoven
@oschettler haha just wait! We're hoping to bring some machine intelligence to video editing with Kapwing. At least put the bots to work enabling artsy humans with smarter, better tools.
Ted
So funny!
Egor Komarov
Lol it is very funny )))
Sergei Beregov

And its not even funny.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Draws something that is not relevant.

Sumeet Howe

Gave me a blank page

Pros:

Cool concept but didn't work for me

Cons:

Doesn't work

Abhishek Munian

Uploaded two photos...two clear photos, the cartoon version was utter shit!

Pros:

its fast

Cons:

its of no use

Congrats on the launch. Can you speak a bit about the training data you might have used?
Julia Enthoven
@gil_akos We used the training data from Dan Macnish's project, which was trained on data from Google's Quickdraw. You can read more about Dan's project on his blog: http://danmacnish.com/2018/07/01...

A clever idea that’s fun and has a lot of potential! πŸ‘€

Hi Product Hunt fam - We took a break from building Kapwing to make Cartoonify, an artificially-intelligent sketch artist that illustrates what happens when you ask a computer to draw (spoiler: your 5-year-old cousin has better skillz πŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸŽ¨) We wanted to explore TensorFlow and show off the work of Dan Macnish. This is our first AI project so we're still learning a lot about the technology! It's exciting to develop on the frontier of ML-powered creativity πŸ’»πŸ–Œ We'd love to see your best and funniest cartoons! Happy cartooning
Usama Khalid
It still needs more time to draw well. anyway good luck!
Julia Enthoven
@usama_khalid Yes I agree. This is just our first attempt, but we're hoping to improve the technology to make it more accurate without losing the fun
Doron Nadivi
cute..seems fun
Michael Daugherty
Fun! I'd love to see a camera app on my phone that gives me a drawing instead of a picture :)
Marcelo Ventura

Really quick for uploading pictures, and clean website.

Pros:

Funny

Cons:

If you want something well drawn you'll miss the fun.

Marcelo Ventura
This is really funny, I just can't stop uploading new photos! Beautiful idea
Julia Enthoven
@venturaeconomis Thanks Marcelo! Did you find some great cartoonified images?
