Four Rules
Skin, eyes, muzzle, fingers. Those four are the whole style. Everything else, from the sofa to the lamp, is ordinary and should stay ordinary.

AI Simpsons Image Generator: Four Rules, Any Face
Describe the people, the room and the joke, and get a yellow cartoon portrait in flat colour with thick outlines, built as fan-style art rather than official artwork.
Four Rules and Anyone Becomes a Character
Style rules first, faces second
Step 1
Describe the People
Hair shape, glasses, beard, age. A cartoon reads by silhouette, so a bob, a bald head and a ponytail identify three people faster than eye colour ever could.
Step 2
Keep the Four Rules
Yellow skin, round white eyes with dot pupils, an overbite muzzle, four fingers. Drop any one of them and the result drifts toward a generic cartoon or a painted portrait.
Step 3
Set the Group
Say who stands where and who is taller. A family of four needs a height order and a shared eyeline, or the group looks assembled from four separate renders.
Step 4
Simple Backdrop
A sofa, a kitchen counter, a school bus. Flat, uncluttered rooms keep the focus on the faces, and busy detail fights the thick outlines.

Try This StyleWhat Makes a Yellow Cartoon Read Right
Three rules that decide whether it looks right
Flat Prints
Gradients and soft shadows break the style. Flat fills inside a black outline are what make a frame read as television animation rather than a 3D render.
Group Scale
Adults at one head height, children lower, everyone on the same floor line. A group with mismatched scale looks like a collage and the joke lands badly.
Scene Support
A kitchen, a classroom, a shop counter. A recognisable room gives the characters something to react to, and a plain gradient gives them nothing.
Reference Ready
Describe the people in words instead of uploading a photo. That keeps the original on your machine and keeps the output a drawing rather than a copy of someone's face.
Fan Style
This is AI fan art, not official artwork, and it carries no licence from the rights holders. Personal gifts are the safe use, and merchandise is not.
User Feedback
★★★★★
I made a birthday card for my brother and needed the whole family in one frame. Describing hair shape and glasses rather than faces is what made everyone recognisable, and the kitchen scene gave us a background that looked like our actual house.
JJessica Lund
★★★★★
My first version looked like a normal portrait painted yellow. Adding the muzzle and the four fingers, and asking for flat colour with no shading, turned it into an actual cartoon on the second try.

★★★★★
I use it for a staff leaving card, one portrait each. It is quick and it makes people laugh, but I keep it as a gift and would not print it on anything sold, since the style belongs to someone else.

FAQ
It can draw a yellow cartoon portrait from a description of the people. Say hair shape, glasses, beard and age, then add the four rules: yellow skin, round eyes, an overbite and four fingers.
The rules are missing. A Simpsons face has a rounded muzzle, big white eyes and no shading. Ask for flat colour, thick black outlines and a four-finger hand, and drop any request for realistic skin.
No. Describe the people instead, which keeps the original picture on your machine. If you do work from a family photo, treat the output as a gift or a personal card rather than a public post of someone who has not agreed.
The first portrait runs on a free trial. Group scenes, larger files and faster models need a paid plan, and the picker shows which model is free before you start.
Not as official merchandise. The look belongs to its rights holders, so selling work that reads as an official Simpsons portrait can infringe. Personal gifts are the safer use, or build an original cartoon style instead.
