"ToonMe", the app that turns you into a cartoon character

Have you seen photos of your friends transformed into cartoon characters on social networks in recent days? They've probably tried the hot new app: "ToonMe".

"ToonMe" is the brainchild of a company specializing in photo editing apps. It allows you, in a few clicks and from a photo portrait, to transform yourself into a cartoon character. As you can imagine, the application has directly met with great success on the networks. "Pixar" character mode selfies have taken over Instagram and Facebook. On Wednesday, January 13, the application even rose to the top of the most downloaded applications from the App Store.

The transformation into a cartoon avatar only takes a few seconds and works on the same principle as an Instagram or Snapchat filter. You will be entitled to 5 versions of your portrait. The "Pixar" version is the one that meets with the most success among Internet users.

Some have given it their all to transform their idols into cartoon characters, others have attacked political representatives. The result is often convincing, as Internet user François Delski explains, who got into the game with a portrait of Emmanuel Macron in particular: "This application is incredible, they would be perfect as pathetic villains from a Pixar!" Sometimes it is the politicians themselves who do the test and have fun with the result. This is particularly the case of Elio Di Rupo who indulged in "a little self-mockery".

Before giving in to temptation, we draw your attention to the fact that the "ToonMe" application collects a certain number of your information such as: name, email and information from your social networks. In order to avoid transmitting too much personal data to the application, it is advisable not to install it but rather to use its website which allows you to upload photos without giving it any access to your image library. or your phone in general.

Good fun !
