Modern Cartoon questions
What’s the difference between Modern Cartoon and Classic Cartoon?
Modern Cartoon looks like a current animated feature, with smooth shading and depth. Classic Cartoon is flat and hand-inked, like the 2D cartoons many parents grew up with.
How long does it take?
Usually 20–40 seconds. The app studies the lines and shapes in the drawing, picks a palette, and paints a brand new piece in the style you chose.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every new account gets 5 free creations, then 1 more free creation every week. If your family wants more, there are plans at $9.99/mo, $79.99/yr, $19.99/mo, $199.99/yr, or you can top up once with 30 creations for $4.99 or 100 creations for $12.99. Top-ups never expire.
What happens to my child’s drawings?
Drawings and artwork are stored privately in your account. They’re processed by our AI providers only to create your artwork. There are no ads and no third-party tracking, and we never sell your data. You can delete everything from Settings at any time.
