How can I "cartoonize" my pictures? [closed]

I have friends that have "cartoonized" their profile picture on social networks. How can I do that too?

I have only very elementary knowledge of graphics (Microsoft Paint).

I don't know what is the site to make theme, but if you specify that this is what you want, I'm sure someone knows what the site is.

Solution 4:

You can try http://simpsonizeme.com/ if you're a Simpson's fan

Solution 5:

You'll need a more advanced graphics program than Microsoft Paint. Programs like Photoshop and GIMP (which is free) include plugins and filters that can modify a photo in creative ways. Unfortunately, their user interfaces can be pretty intimidating for a new user.
