Toonify yourself by Justin Pinkney
Toonify Yourself uses StyleGAN model blending to create a stylized portrait.
About Toonify yourself by Justin Pinkney
This page explains Toonify Yourself, a method that turns a photo of a face into a cartoon-style portrait using blended StyleGAN models. It describes finding a latent code that reconstructs the input face, then using that code in a hybrid model with cartoon face structure and photo-realistic rendering. The page links to a Colab notebook to try the process and to a follow-up post about a website version that could toonify a photo in a few seconds.
Key features
- Converts a face photo into a cartoon-style version via blended StyleGAN models
- Finds a latent code matching an input face for reconstruction
- Provides Colab notebook to run the toonification process
- Explains transfer learning and layer swapping behind the model
- Links to follow-up post about the Toonify Yourself website
Best for: Readers who want to understand or try the StyleGAN blending method for cartoon portraits.
Good for
- Explains the steps from transfer learning to model blending
- Provides a Colab notebook to try the method
- Credits the original cartoon model creator and links to related posts
Watch out for
- Source notes the cartoon training set was small, mixed-style, and partly low-resolution

Toonify yourself by Justin Pinkney FAQ
How does it create a cartoon version of a face?
It finds a latent code that reconstructs the input face in the StyleGAN faces model, then uses that code as input to the blended cartoon model.
What is blended in the model?
Low-resolution layers from the cartoon fine-tuned model and high-resolution layers from the original faces model.
How can I try it?
Use the linked Colab notebook; a separate follow-up post covers the Toonify Yourself website.
