Toonapp: Cartoon Photo Editor

Turning a selfie into a cartoon is the whole point of Toonapp: Cartoon Photo Editor, a photography app from Lyrebird Studio. It uses AI filters to redraw ordinary photos in illustrated styles, and its store listing leans heavily on trend words, so it helps to separate the actual tools from the keywords.

Stripped down, the app takes a photo and re-renders it in one of several looks: flat cartoon, anime, 3D cartoon, clay, or an exaggerated caricature. It also produces the starter pack and action figure images that have circulated on social media, can handle couple photos and pet caricatures, and currently features football-themed styles tied to the 2026 World Cup. The workflow is simple enough: pick a picture, choose a style, let the filter do its work and save or share the result.

The numbers are big. Toonapp has passed 100,000,000+ installs and averages 4.5 across 2,473,358 ratings; 82% of those are five stars, while 10% are one star. It is free to install but carries ads, and in-app purchases range from $2.00 to $69.99 per item, which suggests that some styles or features sit behind a payment. The last update landed on 2026-09-10, Android 7.0 or newer is needed and it is rated Everyone. We list 36 versions, the newest being 3.4.5 at 79.9 MB.

Casual users who want quick cartoon avatars or a themed profile picture will find it easy to use. Anyone expecting precise photo editing, or hoping to avoid ads and upsells, may want something plainer, since the free version comes with both.
