Frequently Asked Questions
How does cartoonization work?
The algorithm applies multiple bilateral filter passes for smooth flat colors, then overlays adaptive edge detection to create bold outlines.
What subjects work best?
Portraits, animals, and objects with clear shapes produce the best results. Highly detailed textures may look busier.
Is there a difference from the sketch effect?
Yes — sketch is grayscale and mimics pencil lines. Cartoonize preserves the original colors and adds a flat-shading + outline style.
