Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about cartoonizing photos, comic shaders, privacy, and export options.

Q1.Can I process and cartoonize multiple photos at once?

Yes, you can upload multiple photos simultaneously, apply uniform cartoon styling, and download the converted comic illustrations as a bundled ZIP file.

Q2.How do color levels affect the cartoon aesthetic?

Lower color levels (e.g. 4 to 8) flatten color gradients into distinct vector-like comic blocks, while higher values (12 to 24) retain subtler skin and lighting tones.

Q3.Which photo formats work best for cartoon conversion?

JPG, PNG, and WebP files up to full camera resolution all convert cleanly. High-contrast portraits with clear facial features produce the strongest cel-shading results, and every frame is processed locally in browser memory without any upload.

Q4.How can I customize ink outlines and line thickness?

Adjust the outline thickness slider (0 to 6px), edge detail sensitivity, opacity, and custom outline color to achieve anything from bold graphic comic ink to delicate anime linework.
