Chinese photo-editing app Meitu clicks in West

Meitu, a Chinese photo-editing app, has suddenly become popular in the West with its feature of turning headshots into cartoons.

The app is free and available for both Android and iPhone, and it has been widely used in Asia for some years.

It offers regular photo editing functions such as borders and red-eye removal, but it is its tool that turns photos into portrait-like images that has made it so popular.
