How it works

Describe a character, or add a photo

Write who it is, what they look like and the look you want: "2D cartoon", "3D animated", "comic book", "chibi". Or add a photo to turn into a cartoon.

Ask for a character sheet

Add "character sheet" to see your character from the front, the side and the back, with a few expressions: a reference for your OC.

Keep your character going

Open the picture to change the outfit, the pose or the place, and put your character in new scenes.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I make a cartoon character with AI?

    Describe your character in the box: who they are, what they wear, their mood, and the look you want, such as 2D cartoon, 3D animated, comic book or chibi. Craiyon draws them whole, in a simple setting.
  • Can I turn my photo into a cartoon?

    Yes. Add a photo of yourself, your friends or your pet in the box, and name a look if you like. Craiyon redraws it as a cartoon, keeping hair, clothes and expressions recognizable. A photo edit uses one of your credits.
  • How do I make a character sheet for my OC?

    Describe your character and add "character sheet" or "turnaround": you get them from the front, three-quarter, side and back at the same size, with a few expressions and their colors, on a plain background.
  • Which cartoon styles can I get?

    A modern 2D cartoon by default, or the one you name: 3D animated film, 1930s rubber-hose, 90s Saturday-morning cartoon, comic book, chibi and kawaii, mid-century flat or storybook watercolor.
  • Can I use my characters in my own projects?

    Yes, in stories, games, comics and profiles. Free images carry a small watermark; subscribers download them without it. See the Terms of Use for selling them.
