Most people are familiar with America's most dysfunctional family, The Simpsons. The lovely yellow characters with their gross overbites never seem to age, despite surviving so many seasons on television. Everyone knows the look of Homer, Marge, Bart and many of the show's guest stars, but what about turning yourself into a Simpsons cartoon?

Choose a photo of yourself to turn into a Simpsons cartoon. It should be a head shot, not a full-body picture. The photo you choose should be well-lit and taken head-on, not a profile or 45-degree-angle shot. The picture you use to create your Simpsons cartoon must be in color, not black-and-white.

Upload the picture to your computer. You can either transfer it from a digital camera or scan in a hard copy. The photo should be saved as a .jpeg, .jpg or .png file, as these work best with the program you will use. The resolution of the picture must be 640x480 pixels for the procedure to work well.
