Photo Lab is a photo editing app, which has been available on Android and iOS for a long time, but recently it is becoming very fast in India. Android users can download the Photo Lab app from Google Play and iOS users from the App Store.
This app comes equipped with filters and editing tools just like other photo editing apps. Although there are over 900 filters in Photo Lab, the filter giving its cartoon look is becoming the most popular.
It includes Neural Art Styles Filters with 50 pre-sets that gives the artwork an artwork style look. The photos can be given an attractive look through the many filters and overlays present in it.
How to give your photo a cartoon look?
Here you have two options. In the first option, you have to click on the AI cartoon portraits in the ‘Categories’ tab in the app. It is quite easy and can give a cartoon look to your photo with one click.
However, if you want to make some changes in the photo by yourself, you can click on the ‘+’ sign in it and use other available filters, text, and effects. Apart from this, the most popular feature of Photo Lab is ‘AI Cartoons’. This feature is being used the most nowadays.
A ‘New’ tab is included at the bottom of the home page, which has ‘AI Cartoons’ written on it. In this tab, you have to click on ‘I Want My Cartoon’ and select your preferred filter from the many pre-set looks already there. Now here you have to select your photo and click on the ‘Next’ icon. This will give your photo a cartoon look.
However, let us know that this app is absolutely free to download, but to use many filters inside it, you will have to pay a small price. Some of the Photo Lab’s basic features and filters are free, but watermarks are added to the photos of free users.
If you do not want the “Photo Lab” watermark to appear in your picture, or if you want to use some other premium filters and effects, then you have to pay for it and buy a premium subscription. For “Photo Lab Pro” you will get 3 days free trial subscription, after which you will have to pay Rs 320 per month.

Photo Lab asks for two permissions from you on Android. This app asks you to access the media files and camera on your phone and you must give this permission, because if you do not do this then you will not be able to upload photos from the gallery or from the camera directly. This problem is not only with this app.
