Exaggerated, still recognisable

A caricature that nobody can identify is just a drawing. The features that make you you are the ones pushed — the hair, the grin, the glasses, the jaw — while everything that anchors the likeness stays put. Skin tone, hair colour and the details people know you by carry across, so the drawing lands as you-turned-up rather than as a generic cartoon head.

Six drawing styles

Classic hand-drawn colour, bold marker pen with thick outlines and flat vivid colour, coloured pencil on textured paper, a black-and-white pencil sketch, a friendly 3D cartoon, and vintage ink. Each one is a different medium rather than a different filter, so the marker version and the pencil version of the same photo do not look like the same drawing tinted twice.

Three levels of exaggeration

Subtle keeps it close to a flattering portrait with the features only nudged — safe for a gift to someone who might not find themselves funny. Classic is the street-artist middle. Wild is the giant head, tiny body, enormous grin version. The strength changes how far the drawing goes, not who is in it.

Friendly by design, and ready to print

The instruction behind every drawing keeps it warm rather than cruel — the joke is affection, not an insult, which matters when the result is going in a card or on a wall. Downloads come back in HD with no watermark, at a size worth printing, and it takes about thirty seconds to see whether a style works before you commit.

How to make a caricature from a photo

1

Upload a photo

Drag in a photo of a person, a pet or a group, pick one from your device, or paste it from your clipboard. JPG, PNG and HEIC all work, up to 20 MB.

2

Choose a drawing style

Six to pick from: classic hand-drawn, marker pen, coloured pencil, pencil sketch, 3D cartoon or vintage ink.

3

Set how far it goes

Subtle, classic or wild. Subtle stays near a portrait; wild gives you the giant-head, tiny-body version.

4

Press Draw my caricature

About thirty seconds later the drawing is ready. Download it in HD, or change style or strength and draw it again.

Who the caricature maker is for

🎁

People buying a personal gift

A commissioned caricature costs money and takes a week. This takes half a minute, and you can try six styles before deciding which one is worth printing and framing.

🎉

Anyone making a leaving card

A card everyone signs is better with a drawing of the person on the front. Especially one that goes a little too far on the thing they are known for.

People who liked the pier artist

The seaside caricature stall, but without the queue, the fixed price or having to sit still while a stranger studies your nose.

🐶

Pet owners

It works on animals as well as people. A dog drawn with its ears and its expression pushed twice as far is exactly as good as it sounds.

👥

Teams and group photos

Upload a group shot and get the whole line-up drawn together — a team page, a wall in the office, a slide that gets a laugh in an all-hands.

✏️

Anyone who wants a sketch, not a filter

Pencil sketch and coloured pencil read as drawings on paper, not as a photo with an effect layered over it. Different thing entirely.

I've started to use overchat last week and it feels very promising. Lots of AI models in one place saves a lot of money in comparison if you buy subscriptions for each one.

I like how it keeps everything organized. One subscription is enough for all major AI models, which helps me avoid paying for multiple platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the caricature maker free?

Yes — upload a photo and draw a caricature here without paying. The download is HD with no watermark across it.

Do I have to write a prompt?

No. You pick a style and a strength from the menus and press the button; the instruction that goes to the model is written for you. There is nothing to phrase and nothing to get wrong.

Will the caricature still look like the person?

That is the whole test. Exaggeration is aimed at the features someone is actually known for, while skin tone, hair and the details that anchor the likeness stay put. Turn the strength down to Subtle if you want the resemblance to lead and the exaggeration to follow.

Can I make a caricature of my pet?

Yes. Animals work the same way as people — the ears, the muzzle and the expression get pushed, and the animal stays recognisable.

Does it work on a group photo?

Yes. Upload a photo with several people in it and the group is drawn together in one picture rather than one person at a time.

Which drawing style should I pick?

For a printed gift, classic hand-drawn or coloured pencil read most like a real commission. Marker pen is the boldest and works best small, on a card or a sticker. Pencil sketch is the only black-and-white option. 3D cartoon is the least drawing-like of the six.

Is it going to be unflattering?

The drawings are pushed but deliberately kept warm — the instruction behind them asks for friendly, not mean. If the result is going to someone who does not enjoy being teased, Subtle is the setting to use.

What happens to my photo after I upload it?

It is used to draw your caricature and nothing else. Your photos are not posted anywhere and are not added to any public gallery.
