  2. 2
    Pick how wild

    Choose Subtle, Classic or Wild exaggeration — or the viral “Me & My Job” style, which surrounds you with oversized tools of your trade. You get a free watermarked preview in about 30–60 seconds — regenerate until you love it.

  3. 3
    Download your caricature

    Pay just $4.99 once to download the clean, full-resolution caricature — print it, frame it, or send it. No subscription.

What is an AI caricature?

A caricature is a portrait that deliberately exaggerates a person's most distinctive features — a bigger head, an amplified smile or nose — in a fun, affectionate way, while keeping them recognizable. Stork's AI does in seconds what a street artist does by hand: it reads your photo, finds what makes the face that person, and pushes it for comic effect. The strength control (Subtle, Classic, Wild) is the whole trick — exaggerate enough to be funny, but never so much that it stops looking like them.

Frequently asked questions

Is the caricature generator free?
You can preview any caricature for free — the result is shown with a watermark. Downloading the clean, full-resolution file is $4.99 once (or $3.99 from prepaid credits). No subscription.
How much would a real caricature cost?
A made-to-order digital caricature runs about $30–70 with a 1–2 day wait; a live event artist charges $125–275 per hour. Stork gives you one in under a minute for $4.99, no waiting.
Will it still look like the person?
Yes — it exaggerates the most distinctive features while keeping the person clearly recognizable. Use Subtle for a gentle, flattering take or Wild for a big comic exaggeration.
What's the difference from the cartoonizer?
The cartoonizer makes a faithful cartoon of you. A caricature deliberately exaggerates — bigger head, amplified features — for that classic funny-portrait look. Different tool, different vibe.
Is my photo private?
Your uploads are processed securely and never shared or sold. Previews are watermarked, and the clean file is only accessible after you pay to unlock it.
