A bunch of really cool and dead-simple tools to add a "WOW" factor to your images. We have mentioned most of them already, here I wanted to put the better ones together.

beFunky - This is by far my favorite tool. With beFunky you can take any of your photos and turn it into a cartoon like drawing. You can either convert it into a black and white sketch drawing or into a colorful animated painting.

And that's not all, it also lets you do the same for videos.

Note: beFunky is still in beta and currently works as an invite only service. If you want you can request an invite directly from the website (you should be able to get in within 1-2 days). If that's too long than feel free to request an invite from MakeUseOf. More details here.

Rasterbator - Looking for DIY-style wall-sized poster? Got plenty of spare printer ink? Check out Rasterbator. This tool lets you take any image and convert it into a huge (up to 20 meters), awesome looking, rasterized wall poster. It's a free, easy to use piece of software and the whole procedure won't take you more than 5-10 min (well, not incl. poster printing and putting it on your wall). Available both online and as a downloadable program.

[NO LONGER WORKS] MagMyPic - Fun website where you can turn pics into cool magazine covers. Quite handy in case you're looking for a quick way to spice up your profile page.

ImageMosaicGenerator [Broken URL Removed] - Here you can get a mosaic version for any image you submit. Mosaic will be created out of randomly selected images from Flickr. Depending on the colors of your image, you may see very different results. Some turn out pretty well, some not so good.

[NO LONGER WORKS] Graphita - Graphita is a quick online app that lets you add some fun to pics by using captions, funny objects, speech bubbles, notes, doodles and more. All of this in an intuitive drag'n drop interface.

Photo2Text - Photo2Text is a simple web tool that lets you convert images to text files and download them to your computer. Simply upload your image, adjust brightness, choose characters to be used, and get it back as a text file (.TXT).
