With some apps, you can convert and turn the videos on your phone into funny comics or cartoons
If we have a video in our hands but we don’t know how to make it special and one of a kind, we can consider converting the video to a comic, so as to obtain new, original and fun content using simple apps that can be downloaded on any modern phone, acting in this way immediately after the shooting or immediately creating the comic or a very nice cartoon during the shooting carried out with any mobile phone.
In the following guide we will show you the best apps to convert video to comic or cartoon . Using one of the apps indicated we will be able to convert the videos made with the phone into fantastic comics , made of tables where the most significant scenes are depicted.
The first unsuspected app that we can use to turn videos into cartoons is Snapchat , the messaging app that can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
Thanks to the Cartoon 3D Style filter we can benefit from a lens capable of transforming the faces of people shot with the camera (front or rear) into a cartoon, so that we can shoot fantastic videos with our “cardboard” face.
Videos shot with the app can be shared immediately in Snapchat chats or in its stories, but we can also download it locally and share it on other social network apps or on messaging apps such as WhatsApp or Telegram.
The Instagram app also offers filters and effects designed to transform the videos shot into comics and cartoons. To be able to take advantage of these effects, we need to download the Instagram app for Android and iPhone.
In order to immediately make a video with the comic or cartoon effect we open the app, swipe from left to right to open the camera section of the app, scroll through the lens-shaped filters (present immediately above the shutter button) , open the Search effects lens , press the search icon at the top right and enter the keys Anime , Anime Style , Cartoon or similar.
After choosing the right filter, we shoot the video as a story or as an Instagram post, so that we can immediately share our video with a cartoon effect on the app. Also from the app we can also press the Save button to keep the video in cartoons on the phone, so as to share it on other social apps or messaging apps.
TikTok
Another app that could not be missing to create comics and cartoons starting from videos is TikTok , which we can download for free for Android and for iPhone .
This popular app allows you to shoot short and funny videos using a myriad of different filters and effects. For our purpose, all we have to do is open the TikTok app, open the section to create new content and take advantage of the Manga filter . Thanks to this filter we will be able to transform the videos into Japanese-style comics, increasing the general quality of the shared videos and consequently increasing the followers who follow us on the app.
Storyboard
If, on the other hand, we already have videos shot on the Android phone, the app that we can use to turn videos into comics is Storyboard.
The app is very simple, with a buttonless interface, where you just have to load the video from the phone memory to turn it into a comic. After loading this app will start processing the video and will automatically extract the frames deemed most important , i.e. those where the framed scene changes.
The various frames are then framed and combined into a single vertical sheet, which looks like the page of a comic. By sliding your finger on the image created, you can change the style of the comic, choosing the one that has a better rendering, the most defined . Once you have found the perfect result, you can save it in your phone gallery or share it directly in the usual ways using the buttons that appear by tapping the image.
Conclusions
With the apps seen above we will be able to create a video with a comic or cartoon effect at any time, using the interactive filters of the new social apps or using an old Google app (never updated since 2017 but still fully functional) that allows you to transform videos already shot in comics , extrapolating the most beautiful scenes in a completely automatic way.
