Paper collage face maker: turn your photo into a collage

Upload a portrait and Paper Face finds the eyes and mouth, cuts the person out onto cream paper and builds a playful collage face on top: a paper mask, googly eyes, brows, a mouth, torn-paper scraps and scribbles, recolored with one palette and set over your text. Detection runs in your browser. Export the poster as an image or a video.

Strip Classic: type broken into strips with shapes, scribbles and deformations
Loud Blocks: words stretched into color blocks, protest-poster style
Balloon Type: inflated 3D balloon letters over bold type
Flowers: stems, leaves and roses that grow out of the letters
Paper Face: a photo turned into a paper-collage face
Another Way: condensed and expanded poster type with hand-made stickers

Strip kit: SVG shapes
Loud Blocks kit: marker strokes and op-art patterns
Inflated kit: balloon letters as transparent images
Flowers kit: SVG roses, stems and leaves
Face kit: torn-paper SVG eyes, mouths and masks
Poster kit: hand-made SVG stickers
