ahmedbesbes/cartoonify
A serverless web app that transforms photos into cartoons using a PyTorch-based CartoonGAN model deployed on AWS Lambda.

Cartoonify is a machine learning application that applies CartoonGAN—a generative adversarial network for style transfer—to convert ordinary photographs into cartoon-style images. The project demonstrates how to containerize a PyTorch model, deploy it as a serverless function via AWS Lambda with API Gateway, and serve a React frontend through Netlify. Users upload an image through the web interface, which is sent to the backend for inference, and the stylized result is returned and displayed.
