Sooo, if you've been online and noticed your friends suddenly have new ~artistic~ profile pictures of themselves, you can thank NewProfilePic — an app that uses artificial intelligence to transform photos into cartoon-like portraits. Lately, people have been using the app to create painting selfie avatars, and TBH, it's kinda addicting. All you have to do is upload your photo, choose a cartoon style, and in a few seconds, you have a sketch that looks like it was drawn from an artist. HOW FUN! NBC
The app is free to download on the Apple App Store and on Google Play .
So, hey, I decided to use NewProfilePic to transform a bunch of celebs into paintings just to see how they'd turn out. Here's, like, 35 of them: 1. Here's Kim Kardashian before: Taylor Hill / Getty Images
