Create a caricature instruction guide.

Upload one clear headshot. The guide will focus on visible features and positive, beginner-friendly drawing steps.

1. Upload a headshot

Best results come from one person, shoulders-up, with the face turned slightly to the side. After upload, zoom in or out, drag the preview, or use the sliders to center the face before generating.

2. Adjust the face crop Adjusted crop will be used

Center the face, hair, and top of the shoulders. Drag the preview to reposition, use the zoom slider to move in or out, or switch to the full photo if you do not want a crop.

          Workflow

          Designed for artists, not image generation.

          This tool returns instructions, not a finished image. The artist still draws the caricature by hand using the guide.

          Choose or drag in a clear JPG, PNG, or WEBP headshot, then zoom, crop, or use the full photo before generating the guide.

          Focus on drawing details

          The guide considers head angle, face shape, hair, expression, accessories, and other visible features that help the caricature feel recognizable.
