Now, here in this post I will tell you about a fabulous website to apply ultra cool effects to your photos. Want to see your photo scribbled or cartoonized? Read on for these and more….

The website is BE FUNKY – Photo effects with one click.

I used one of my favourite photos and used all their effects. The results? Fantastic.

There are 37 different types of effects you can put on your pictures in 9 categories. These are Cartoonize, Warhole, Charcola, Patirotic, Infiky, Line Artopia, Stenciler, Sunburst and Scribbler.

You can save the photos on your desktop or into a gallery. Click on “more options” for adjusting brightness and color detail. You can even rate each effect. Now here are different effects on my phtos. I have uploaded one (the best) from each category. Click on “goodies” for different frames, shapes, appearance, graphic text, speech bubbles, writing text and warping. It also has a “make it real” feature which you can opt for getting your now modified pictures on Cups, T-Shirts, and as Photo Prints.

I checked out Be Funky again yesterday and it looks like they’re after loads of money now. They have totally updated their site. They have now TOO MANY effects too handle but there are TOO MANY drawbacks as well.

1. Few effects are available only too Premium (paying) users.
2. The effects are so many, that it is difficult to choose from and many are useless.
3. The website has become too slow.
4. The effects are not clearly shown in the picture representing the picture.
5. They now apply a watermark over pictures of free users. In the top left corner, there is a ribbon saying “Created at befunky.com”. One way to fix this is to add some blank extra space at the top of your picture using MS Paint or similar software. However, this may prove to be an obstruction for some effects. But try it out.

So in the end, I would conclude that I liked the old Be Funky better. If it is updated again, please inform me.
