Last week I wrote up a post about how I'd trained a neural network to "cartoonify" pictures of peoples faces.

🤷‍♂️ How I trained a neural network to turn you into an Archer cartoon

I also made it available as a twitter bot (so you could tweet at me and have your profile pic cartoonified). I think about 30 or 40 people ended up using it to cartoonify their profile pics, which was a lot of fun 😀

Anyhow, I'm planning to retire the twitter bot soon (because 💸) - but I've now converted the code to run entirely in the browser using tensorflow.js, and made it available online.

Check it out here.

Note: Currently doesn't seem to work reliably (or possibly at all) on mobile browsers - working on fixing this. Also, the cartoonifying effect tends to only work on relatively close up pictures of faces (presumably as thats what it was trained on). So feel free to play around with other kinds of images, but the results probably won't be great.*
