Top 8 Apps to Turn Photos into Drawings for Free

Out of all of the apps that turn pictures into drawings, ToonMe is one of the best known, with its cool sketch effect and the capacity for people to use this app on either iOS or Android depending on their preference.

ToonMe is really designed for people to take their pictures and turn them into avatars or cool graphics, but it doesn’t do a great job when it comes to groups, and some of the filters are a little bit basic. The graphic also uses different bodies so the likenesses aren’t amazing compared to some of the other apps.

Clip2Comic is an app that is available for iOS with the ability to create a line drawing from a photo or other cartoon style.

The images can be used in high-quality and high-resolution if you upgrade to the premium version of the app, which also gives the option to make HD videos using cartoon and comic-book styles. You can look like you’re in an animated video.

The main functions of the app are free, and you can use this on your iPad and iPhone. There are loads of different styles of comics that you can use, and all you need is to tap the button in order to get the right style for you.

Prisma is one of the iPhone and Android art apps that provides loads of different styles, and is not all about turning a photo to a sketch and creating cartoon style images.

The app has a lot of different styles to turn images into drawings, and this includes landscapes and group shots, something that not all of these apps are able to help with.

Prisma has over 500 different styles, meaning a huge number of different options, and there is a specific mode for selfies, the Portrait Segmentation feature.

If you want to download and use the images in full HD, a premium subscription is needed.

As you may have guessed from the name, this is an app that takes images you’ve taken on your Android or Apple device and helps you to turn them into paintings! The app has 1000+ filters, including a comic book feature.

The other filters can make your images look like a mosaic or many other styles of painting. It can even look like a Van Gogh.

This is a free app, but all of the images created within the free version do have a watermark.

It is inevitable now that a lot of these kinds of apps integrate AI in an effort to help to turn photos into drawings. Vivid AI is a little different when compared to the other options, as it can also use things like text prompts to create images from nothing.

There are over 30 different AI art styles, and you can feed selfies into the software before adding a lot of other effects.

This app has an AI avatar feature, and helps people to “try on the roles of an epic comic book style superhero”.

On top of that, retouching, and even changing clothes and makeup virtually are possible. One of the big downsides of this app is the fact that a lot of the features are paid.

BeFunky is a really smart and effective app that can be used on iOS and Android devices. It is powerful for something that can be used on a mobile device, and has the power to turn photos into line drawings, paintings, cartoons, and sketches.

On top of this, you can take advantage of some of the other effects, such as portrait enhancement that can get rid of blemishes. The software has loads of different styles and though you can’t access all of the features for free, it is possible to easily make a lot of alterations without having to pay for anything. Some of the AI-powered tools on offer include an option to remove backgrounds and add a lot of other effects. This helps people to take advantage of the full role of editing functions.

Photo Sketch Maker is an Android tool you can get from the Play Store. It doesn’t have as many styles as some of the others, but it is a good option for those who want to take an image and turn it into a simple sketch-style or line drawing.

Photo Sketch Maker doesn’t have loads of ways to tweak and alter the photo, but it does a good job.

Fotor is another app that has a huge number of features, making it pretty powerful for something you can use on your mobile device. It has some AI features that can help people to get rid of things in the background or quickly and easily optimize their images.

The AI enlarger, retouch, and background remove features are fantastic. Among the tools are a lot of different filters, some of which can help people to create a cartoon effect or turn their images into quality drawings.

The app does have a lot of different features that can be difficult to work out how to use on mobile devices, so it can take a while to get to grips with it.
