It may be a good idea to cartoonize yourself and post the picture on the numerous social networking sites that you use like Facebook or MySpace and so on. These cartoon images that you create can have an important role in presenting yourself in a unique manner. In order to cartoon yourself you can use a number of different software programs that allow you to edit images like Photoshop or Illustrator.

But not everybody has access to professional image editing software like Photoshop, or do not have the skills to handle such a complicated program. So how can you cartoonize yourself without the help of special editing programs? Almost everybody has a friend that knows how to use Photoshop or Illustrator, but if you do not feel like imposing, then you may be interested to know that there are simpler ways of doing this.

You can cartoon yourself by using Picasaweb. This is an online image editing tool created by Google that is considered to be a bit less complicated than the software programs presented above, but still takes a little bit of skill and patience in order to learn what you should do and how. Furthermore, maybe the most annoying thing about the Picasaweb is that in order to edit an image of your choosing you have to have an account with them. It is not such a big problem that you have to create an account, but the fact that it takes time is a problem.

Another quick optionyou can look into when you want to cartoonize yourself,and probably the best choice,is to use an online image editor like Cartoonize. It is one of the simplest methods that exist. You just have to have a good connection to the internet. Once you have this, you can go on their website and upload a picture with your face in it in order to cartoon yourself and then wait a few seconds for the picture to be uploaded. After the picture has been loaded on to their server, you have the possibility to choose from a number of effects: colorize, edge, artistic, instagram and of course, cartoon effects. Once you have chosen the desired effect, you can select from a number of variations of the effect. Just click on the one you like and then download the image newly created.

On most of the website like Cartoonize that offer free services like the one presented above, you also have the possibility to download the software that they use on the website. This will allow you to cartoon yourself from your desktop, without needing a connection to the Internet. Furthermore, the software program can offer you even faster conversions of your pictures, even with large photos.

You can cartoon yourself using Photoshop or Illustrator, but if you do not have the skills necessary to this properly, then maybe it is best to cartoonize yourself with the help of an online image editor.
