PhotoFunia is an unusual app that allows you to create fun images using faces of you or your friends, with photos taken on your phone.
Using an internet connection, PhotoFunia will insert a face into one of a large range of images. There are pictures ranging from billboards, angels, sports people paintings and more. Select an image you like and then choose one of your photos. PhotoFunia will the upload your image to their servers, detect the face and insert it into your chosen image. It is not made publicly available, just sent back to your phone.
The image you receive can be either emailed or simply saved on your phone. Some of PhotoFunia's images use facial recognition technology, with mixed results, and others require you to crop your photo yourself.
PhotoFunia is easy to use, but as the images are created on their website, the app is quite slow. It would perhaps be more user friendly if the app created the montage locally, especially as when facial recognition fails the wait can be frustrating.
If you like novelty photos, PhotoFunia is an easy way to make these fun images. However, the app isn't very sophisticated, and is quite slow to use.
