Caricaturer
Convert image to caricature with 64 different styles by AI
We have made a video and published it on Youtube. We hope people could watch the video and learn how to use our Caricaturer.io.

We get almost 1000 views after publishiing the video. We feel great as our customers could get quite a lot of fun from our tool.
Finally, we can launch our tool on producthunt. It is a good starting. We have collected quite a lot of reviews and suggestions from real customers. We got encouraged when communicating with these guys.
More importantly, we won the #4 Product of the day. That is wonderful!
I have spent months writing codes and debug the project. It is really hard. Our team members need to test the core codes of AI. Write the front page by using VUE. Not easy jobs but we get them all finished.
Today, we build the first version of Caricaturer.io and when it run successfully on localhost, it feels really greata!
I have some big problems that I have to deal with. In my plan, I hope the AI needs to draw multiple styles. This is not an easy task. And, one of the most important things is that I need to generate HD images. In my demo, I only create caricature images with a small size of 254*254.
How to make the results as large as I could, is a great challenge.
Today, I am ready to write the first code and try to use AI and deep learning to convert images to caricature. It is not simple but I think it will be a good starting.
I have learned quite a lot about the caricature style and painting tricks. I know how to let AI understand what is caricature and learn the drawing skills from the real caricature images
A caricature is an image rendered displaying the attributes of the image in an exaggerated and simplified form using pencil strokes, sketching, or using other different artistic drawings. I just wonder if the AI could do some special work and make the caricature quite different. That’s why I build caricaturer.io and use AI technology to make caricature photos.

Hi, I liked your project. Some ideas:
Another problem. I clicked in sign-up after I have generated the caricature but I lost the processed image when I signed in.
Thank you so much for your comments.
I collect the emails when you sign up for an account. Then I will send a notification email when the caricature process is finished.
:-) I will try and train more styles so you can see quite different results in the future.
About the email... I get what you mean. But, for example, I tried your service and you haven't my email from there. If you improve, I will not know because you have no way to let me know. Besides, doing what you do in 1 minute is very fast. But it doesn't look fast.
I am building a side project that is in many ways similar to yours, but not a competitor.... so, I have thought about these things. Besides HD version, you should offer the option to deliver a printed version for a premium price.
P.S. What happened here: https://share.getcloudapp.com/04u5GwEn ???
Hello Fredguth. Thank you for your comment.
For the email, you need to sign up before uploading the image, then you will receive the notification email. I have left a message about this procedure.

But the best way is to make the caricature process as fast as possible. I am improving it and hope the 64 images could be generated in 10 or 20 seconds.
I create the project for fun but it costs quite a lot of GPU resources. Currently, the HD size has reach my limit. For the printed version, I am moving forward to it.
