How to Go From Pet Photo to Cartoon
Ready to turn your pet into a cartoon? First, we recommend using a pet photo that’s appropriately sized for printing (such as one with an aspect ratio of 4x6 or 5x7, for example). If you need to, use the Crop and Resize tools first. Then, follow the steps below!
Step 1: Remove and Replace Your Pet Photo’s Background
Head to the Graphic Designer and open your pet photo by clicking Open > Image. Select your pet’s image with your mouse, then click Edit Image from the Image Properties panel. This will open your pet photo directly in the Photo Editor, ready to be transformed into a cartoon.
First, we’re going to replace the existing background in your pet image with a solid color. To do this, locate the Background Remover in the Edit tab.
Once the background has been removed, click Change Background > Color.
Click on the first color swatch to select a new background color from the Color Picker. Then, head back to the main menu and click Apply.
Step 2: Cartoonize Your Pet
With your pet photo’s new colored background in place, it’s now time to add a Cartoonizer™ effect to your pet. Click Artsy in the main menu on the left, followed by Cartoonizer™.
When you click on an effect, you can view a sample of how it looks on your pet portrait. You can adjust the strength of the cartoon filter using the corresponding slider or apply it as-is by clicking on the checkmark icon.
Click the left-most icon to open the Settings menu. Depending on which Cartoonizer™ effect you choose, you will have different elements to adjust.
For a minimal aesthetic, we recommend only applying your cartoon effect to your pet and not the colored background. To do this, click on the Select tab. Then, underneath “Apply to:” select Foreground. Finally, click Apply, before clicking Done Editing Image in the top-left corner.
Step 3: Add Your Pet’s Name
Once back within the Graphic Designer, it’s time to add your pet’s name to your cartoon portrait. Click Text in the main menu on the left, followed by Add Text.
Double-click the textbox and type your pet’s name (or any other text you want your cartoonized pet to feature). Any time you have a textbox selected, a Text Properties menu will appear on the left. This is where you’re able to change the font, font color, letter spacing, typographical emphasis, and so much more.
Step 4: Save Your Pet Cartoon
Once you’ve finished turning your pet into a cartoon, click the Save button at the top of the page, then select your desired save location and file type. With BeFunky’s handy print integration, you can even print your custom pet cartoon as a poster, canvas, or framed masterpiece in seconds. Just click Print Products > Send to Zazzle, then follow the prompts.
