Top 5 apps to cartoonize your photo.

Cartoonizing portraits into cartoon characters is trendy now. Why？ It’s because the ‘avatar economy’ requires customization and sometimes we can just try to cartoonize our own portrait to create new avatars without buying any IP and it’s getting easier with lots of apps online.

What is avatar

An avatar, as used in video games, is a symbol or character that represents a certain individual. Perhaps you made an avatar while playing Guitar Hero or another similar game (to be geeky, it is a personalized graphical illustration that represents a computer user).

What is avatar economy?

It’s a concept related to working remotely at home so that in the future, all our jobs will be done at home and the employees are actually just avatars online living and interacting in virtual reality. Avatar has never become so cool and trendy until the words like “metaverse “and “NFT” got popular.

When we talk about avatar and customizing avatar, we can’t steer away from 8biticon. It’s the first-ever pixel avatar maker that turns you into a full-fledged NFT artist. The collection is limited to 11111 pieces, stored on Ethereum blockchain and, most importantly, created by every single YOU. The 8biticon innovative technology allows NFT collectors to create their own special digital assets within minutes and has taken the NFT world by storm.

But today let’s look at some other non-NFT apps which can help you customize your own avatar online using your own portrait.
