Hey Product Hunt! ππΎ
I'm Aidan β a barista, cat owner, and first-time founder. I built CatMe AI because I wanted something fun and personal: turn my selfie into a cute chibi cat avatar that still keeps my
hairstyle, expression, and outfit.
Most AI avatar apps give you dozens of random styles. CatMe does one thing well β you upload a photo, pick a cat breed, and get a shareable cat version of *you* in seconds. Perfect for profile pics, Instagram, TikTok, or sending to friends who love cats.
How it works:
1. Upload a selfie
2. Pick a breed (Ragdoll, British Shorthair, and more)
3. Generate & download β 5 free per day, no credit card needed
This is my very first app. I taught myself to build it from scratch β web app, AI pipeline,
Stripe payments, everything. If people enjoy it, I'm planning animated GIFs and personal
sticker packs for LINE/WhatsApp based on what users actually want.
I'd love your honest feedback:
- Does the output feel like "you" as a cat?
- What would make you come back β stickers, GIFs, more breeds?
- Anything confusing in the flow?
Try it free and let me know what you think. Every comment helps a solo founder learn. Thank you! π§‘

the cartoon version actually kept my messy hair and grumpy expression which felt oddly charming, way better than the usual filters that flatten everything into one cute blob.

@feyza1144590Β Thank you for sharing this! This is exactly the effect we were going for with CatMe AI β instead of turning everyone into the same "cute template," we wanted to preserve what makes you you (messy hair, expressions, vibe included), just reimagined in a cute art style. Really glad that "still you, but cuter" feeling landed for you π

Honestly this looks super fun, I would actually use it. One thing though, could you add an option to keep the background from the original photo or blur it out a bit? Right now it seems like you just get the cat on a plain backdrop, which kind of loses the vibe of the original selfie. Would make the avatars feel way more personal.

@nazmiyeb97v Thank you for your suggestion, thatβs the point I recently considered. I will add this function soon! Thanks again!

The way it preserves hairstyle and outfit while catifying everything else is genuinely clever, not just slapping ears on a face. Took about 40 seconds for me too.

@sedat1276640Β Appreciate you trying it, Sedat! ~40 seconds is about right for now β glad it still felt worth the wait. Preserving hairstyle/outfit is the part I obsessed over most. Anything you'd want next β faster generation, stickers, or GIFs?
