One photo in · Die-cut design out · Free to try
Pick the art style and keep your face and pose. The die-cut cartoon cut-out drops into a chat the same minute.
A real die-cut design from the model this page runs. Drag the divider to compare the original photo with the drawn result. Every output is AI-generated, so your finished design varies with your photo, your prompt, and the art style you describe — treat this as a preview of what the tool can do, not a fixed result.

Instead of hiring an illustrator or tracing an outline by hand, one photo comes back as a die-cut cartoon cut-out — the bold, white-bordered kind you slap on a laptop or drop into a chat. You upload a clear picture, describe the art style you want, and the model draws a simplified character that keeps your face, hair, clothing, and pose recognizable.
On Kavel the tool runs on the Nano Banana image model, so a finished cut-out arrives in one generation rather than an afternoon in a vector editor.
You start from your uploaded photo — the flow defaults to image-to-image — set the format and the resolution, and the credit estimate updates before you commit; a failed run is refunded automatically (unless it broke the content policy), so trying a second art style costs nothing but time. The result suits a creator building a chat pack, a small brand making merch art, or anyone who just wants a cartoon version of themselves.
And because the same studio also turns the same face into figurines and caricatures, one workflow covers a range of looks without a new tool for each. Think of it less as a filter and more as an illustrator on call — with the direction in your hands, and your own face in the frame.

Upload a photo, describe the art style, choose the format and resolution, and the credit estimate updates before you generate.
Upload one clear photo and the model reads your features, then redraws them as a bold, simplified cartoon character.
Describe the look you want — thick outlines, flat colour, kawaii softness, a heavy drop shadow — and the drawing follows that brief.
From one photo to a finished cut-out, with the cost shown before you commit.
Add one clear photo with your face and upper body visible. Even light and a plain background give the model the cleanest shape to trace.
Set the look: bold vector outlines, flat shading, pastel kawaii, a thick white border. Specific direction keeps the drawing on-brief.
Confirm the estimate, generate the cut-out, and download it. If a run fails, it is free, so you can adjust and try another style.
Group-chat regulars, small shops, anyone printing a sheet for a laptop lid.
Build a set of cartoon versions of yourself for chats, group threads, and reaction packs your friends actually use.
Turn a headshot into laptop-ready decal art, print-on-demand merch, or a mascot for a channel without hiring an illustrator.
Make a cartoon you from a favourite photo just to see it, and drop it into a post, a card, or a group chat.
Common questions about turning a photo into a die-cut cut-out with Kavel.
The model traces your silhouette, flattens the shading into blocks of colour, thickens the outlines, and wraps the whole thing in the white border that gives the shape its die-cut edge. Enough of your face and clothing survives that it still reads as you.
Free credits arrive with the account, and a run that fails is refunded automatically (unless it broke the content policy). Beyond that, each render spends credits based on the resolution and how many you ask for, with the estimate on screen first.
A well-lit shot against a plain background. The outline is traced from the silhouette, so anything that muddies your edges — a busy background, a dark room, motion blur — muddies the cut.
Yes. Bold vector outlines, flat pastel shading, kawaii softness, a heavy drop shadow — name it. Style is the one instruction that changes the output the most, so it is worth being specific.
The render comes back as a flat image with a white border, not a cut PNG with transparency. For a print run you would still need to knock out the background in an editor — the design is done, the die-cut path is not.
The output is yours to use, but you are responsible for the photo you started from. Use a picture you own or have permission to edit, and check the terms before it goes on something you sell.
One credit pool covers Nano Banana images and Seedance and Veo video. The cost shows before every run, and failed jobs are not charged. Use a subscription for ongoing work, or a one-time pack when you just need to top up.
