Tips for a Recognizable Cartoon Result
A simple, well-lit reference helps the AI preserve the details that matter.
- Use a sharp photo with the face, pet, or main subject clearly visible.
- Avoid heavy blur, extreme shadows, and important details cropped out of frame.
- Choose one style first, then refine colors, background, or linework in the prompt.
- For group photos, mention that every person's recognizable features should be preserved.
