Have you ever wanted to make a goofy picture of yourself or a friend? Then this post is for you!
There are plenty of sites out there that do the work of Photoshopping your pic into a cool or silly effect for you. Some of them are easier to use than others, and they all offer different effects. Some of them are really lame, so you may have to hunt around a bit to find an effect you want to use.
I bought new glasses recently, and I felt like playing around with a few photo sites. So, I thought I might as well write about them, too. Enjoy! :P
FunPhotoBox
FunPhotoBox is my favorite one so far. It’s just so easy to use. There’s a decent selection of photo effects to choose from, although I wish there were more. To make a photo, just pick an effect, upload a picture, crop the pic, and you’re done! For an example, I took this pic of myself:
This was my lame attempt to look cool. Please don't laugh too hard.
And then made these:
BeFunky
BeFunky lets you apply stylistic effects to your photos. You can cartoonize yourself and add props like glasses and eyebrows. Here’s me with a grunge effect:
PhotoFunia
PhotoFunia is very similar to FunPhotoBox. There are a lot of goofy effects you can stick someone’s face in. The downside, though, is that unlike FunPhotoBox, you can’t control how it fits within the image. Most likely, the first time you upload a picture and make an effect, the photo will be way off, and you’ll have to crop and re-upload.
Okay, I’m done playing with photo effects for one night. But, there are quite a few more that you can check out:
