Abstract: Systems and methods for generating cartoon images or emojis of an individual from a photograph of the individual is described. The systems and methods involve transmitting a picture of the individual, such as one taken with a mobile device, to a server that generates a set of emojis showing different emotions of the individual from the picture. The emojis are then transmitted to the mobile device and are available for use by the user in messaging applications, emails, or other electronic communications. The emojis can be added to the default keyboard of the mobile device or be generated in a separate emoji keyboard and be available for selection by the user.
