## What is Toonita?

Transform your photos into professional comic art, technical sketches, and pop-art masterpieces.

Toonita is not just another cartoon filter app. It is a powerful, high-resolution photo editing suite built on a professional 5-stage processing pipeline. Whether you are a fan of classic comic books, technical blueprints, or retro ASCII art, Toonita gives you the precision tools to turn any image into a work of art.

WHY TOONITA? Most apps give you one-tap filters. Toonita gives you a creative studio. From automatic background replacement to AI-powered object removal, you have total control over every detail of your transformation.

THE FIVE-STAGE ARTISTIC PIPELINE:

1. PREPARE: Professional Retouching Before you stylize, get the perfect base. Use advanced tools including:
   • AI Vanish & Clone: Seamlessly remove unwanted objects.
   • Background Replace: Automatic person segmentation and background swap.
   • Face Tune: Adjust eyes, nose, and mouth size for perfect portraits.
   • Deform Tool: Professional liquify (push, bloat, shrink) to reshape elements.
   • Classic Edit: Precise control over brightness, contrast, sharpen, and noise.

2. STYLIZE: 36+ Unique Artistic Styles Go beyond basic filters. Explore a massive collection of styles:
   • Comic & Pop Art: Sin City, Lichtenstein, Magazine, Hope, Pop Art.
   • Technical & Retro: Blueprint, ASCII Art, Dither, Halftone, Matrix, Graphite.
   • Artistic: Sketch, Watercolor, Pastel, Painting, Charcoal.
   • Unique Textures: Money, Newspaper, Grunge, Color Splash.

3. ADJUST: Fine-Tune the Edges Total control over the stylization. Fine-tune outlines, edge width, smoothness, and detail. Adjust color levels and softness to achieve that perfect hand-drawn look.

4. STICKERS: Visual Storytelling Bring your comics to life with fully customizable speech bubbles, text overlays, and professional sticker collections (Comic, Pop Art, Kawaii, and more).

5. FILTERS: Final Color Mastery Apply professional color maps and filters (Warm, Cold, Sepia, B&W, Threshold, Glowing Edges) to set the mood of your masterpiece.

PRO-GRADE FEATURES:
   • High-Resolution Export: Save your art in 3MP, 6MP, or ultra-clear 12MP.
   • Multi-Stage Editing: Use your result as an input for a new cycle of transformations.
   • Opacity Control: Every style and filter can be blended for subtle or bold effects.
   • Non-Linear Workflow: Go back and forth between stages to perfect your vision.

Cartoon yourself. Sketch your world. Create with Toonita.

### 5/5 — Fun app

*2026-03-13, version 14.2*

Using it on an iPad.   It’s a nice collection of filters.

### 5/5 — Functional….!!!!

*2026-02-15, version 14.1*

This is SO much FUN….!!!!

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2025-07-07, version 11.9*

Was never able to access correctly and never received any reply for help to rectify numerous issues

### 5/5 — Great free app!

*2025-03-18, version 11.7*

Really enjoyed it.

### 1/5 — Bah!

*2025-01-15, version 11.6*

For the limited amount of menu options I recommend using a one time purchase package price. You are not the only vendor on the block.

### 5/5 — Portrait images

*2024-07-05*

Converted very nicely, satisfied

**Developer response:** Thank you for your support!

### 2/5 — Toon? I think not! Or was it my orig. pic?

*2024-04-26, version 9.1*

I know this a free app so I can’t get mad. It works. However, before anyone else takes time to download this for a toon look.. only do it if you want the photo of you to look like an oil painting. I didn’t bother trying the other features before I deleted it. Update: I received an email somehow (how’d you get my email?) saying you feel I might’ve mixed up two of your apps and mentioned your app Paintation. I never downloaded Paintation. I only used Toonita. Perhaps my original picture that I used wasn’t good. (?) I’d rather not be contacted again about this. It’s not that deep.

### 2/5 — Toon? I think not!

*2024-04-23*

I know this a free app so I can’t get mad. It works. However, before anyone else takes time to download this for a toon look.. only do it if you want the photo of you to look like an oil painting. I didn’t bother trying the other features before I deleted it.

**Developer response:** I have a feeling that you somehow mixed two of my apps. Paintation - Photo Art Effects is the one that has painting-like filters, while Toonita - Cartoon Photo Editor has cartoon-like filters.

### 3/5 — Cool effects but no indication it’s subscription based

*2024-01-21, version 8.0*

With the free version there are cool filters however there is no indication this app is subscription based in order to get the other filters. 
I would have bought packs of filters as I don’t subscribe.

### 5/5 — Outstanding!

*2023-12-30, version 7.2*

If you are interested in special effects try this. If you aren’t interested in special effects try this! This is a very special app. Try it.
