Toony.me - Turn one photo of your child into a cartoon they star in

by•
Toony turns a single photo of your child into a short vertical cartoon where they are the recognizable hero of the story. One tap: we stylize your child, write a mini-plot with AI, animate 2-4 scenes, add music, and hand you a 9:16 clip ready for TikTok, Reels and the family chat. Your first cartoon is free.

Hey PH! I built Toony because of my own kid. Every "turn a photo into a cartoon" tool I tried either gave me a static picture, or made a character that only vaguely looked like my child. I wanted the actual moment: my kid watching themselves become the hero of a little animated story. So Toony isn't "run a model on a photo." From one photo it: stylizes your child into a consistent cartoon hero, writes a short plot with AI (a real 2-4 scene story in one world), animates the scenes keeping your kid recognizable in every shot, adds music, and stitches it into a vertical 9:16 clip - ready for TikTok, Reels, or just the family chat. The first cartoon is free (short preview, watermarked) - the honest reason is I want you to see your kid's face light up before paying anything. Full cartoons are pay-as-you-go credits, no subscription. It's early and I'd genuinely love feedback - especially on how recognizable your child stays across scenes. Happy to answer anything!

Hi Eugene, very impressive — in less than 5 minutes, it creates a funny store!

 Thank you!

How well does the AI keep my kid looking like themselves across different scenes, especially if they're wearing glasses or have a really distinct hairstyle?

 Great question, and honestly the exact thing we obsessed over.

The trick is we don't just "throw the photo at a model" scene by scene. From the one photo we first build a single stylized version of your kid, the hero reference, and then every scene is generated from that same reference. So the character stays locked instead of drifting into a different-looking kid halfway through the story.

On your specifics:

  • Glasses and distinct hairstyles actually help. They're strong, high-signal features, so they get baked into the reference and carry across scenes really consistently. It's the generic faces that are harder, not the memorable ones.

  • Best results come from a clear, front-facing photo where the face isn't tiny or half in shadow. Give it that and the likeness holds up scene to scene.

One honest caveat: it's a stylized cartoon, so the goal is "unmistakably them," not a photoreal clone. Grandparents-recognize-them level, not passport-photo level.
