										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>App that converts faces into cartoon characters is causing fever on Vietnamese social networks and many countries. Users need to understand before deciding to install this app.</strong><br />
<span id="more-25483"></span> Recently, the photo editing application Voilá AI Artist has become a trend on social networking sites, similar to last year&#8217;s FaceApp trend. The trend of &#8220;transforming&#8221; into cartoon characters is not only causing a fever in Vietnam, the Voilá AI Artist application has had more than 8 million downloads globally, according to data from an analytics company. <em> Sensor Tower</em> .</p>
<p> This tool supports editing user photos into animated characters of Pixar or Disney. Although there are no controversial, worrying terms like FaceApp, Voilá AI Artist still has certain conditions for users. <strong> How much does it cost to use Voila ?</strong> Application &#8220;transform&#8221; Voilá is a photo editing tool that is free to download on iOS and Android. This app helps users turn their photos into hand-drawn caricatures, cartoon characters or a Renaissance painting. This application only allows 3 days of free use, before the screens and conditions for collection appear. Specifically, the Voilá Pro package costs $2/week on Android and $3/week for the iOS version. To use the app for 1 year, the developer has more preferential packages such as 21 USD / year for Android or 30 USD / year on Apple devices. Paying users will get rid of ads, speed up image processing and unlock other features like removing the app icon from the image when exporting. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_14_119_39179332/04b6c937c6752f2b7664.jpg" width="625" height="260"> <em> Portrait of billionaire Elon Musk before and after using the Voilá AI Artist app. Photo: OlharDigital. </em> According to the <em> Wired</em> , when paying, it&#8217;s true that the app processes photos faster. However, it is not possible to confirm if it is due to the processing acceleration feature or because the app has removed ads. Compared to free apps that often appear on the Play Store or AppStore, Voilá has a more &#8220;sustainable&#8221; way of collecting money. Usually, users only need to pay a one-time amount of a few dollars if they want to quit ads, or accept to see periodic ads for free use. With weekly payment mode, users also need to note the automatic payment. Compared to the whole year price, if you buy a weekly package just to edit a few photos and forget, users can lose tens to hundreds of dollars if they forget to remove automatic payment. This is not an uncommon problem with today&#8217;s paid recurring or content services. Users should be careful to avoid wasting money when the application automatically renews. <strong> Doesn&#8217;t require &#8216;sensitivity&#8217; like FaceApp, but still has a privacy note</strong> Like all apps that have access to data, Voilá AI Artist can also compromise user privacy. According to the application terms, Voilá is allowed to transfer and store users&#8217; images like many other editing apps. This application may use users&#8217; images for their own advertising purposes without notice or fees. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_14_119_39179332/768fb70eb84c5112085d.jpg" width="625" height="312"> <em> Like photo editing apps, Voilà also asks permission to use user data for advertising. </em> In 2020, Vietnamese people used to compete to post edited photos from the FaceApp application. Like Voilá, FaceApp brings effects such as changing gender, making an old face or turning a child. However, FaceApp&#8217;s data requests are much more sensitive. Specifically, the installation part of FaceApp requires the right to launch with the system, access memory, run in the background, full permission to use the Internet&#8230; Thus, after installation, FaceApp has the right to automatically launch, access access memory and transfer data to the server. &#8220;With more than 100 million downloads, this is a huge data store. Some access rights exceed the limits of photo editing applications,&#8221; said Tri Duc, a security expert working in New York, USA. share with <em> Zing when talking about </em> FaceApp<em> .</em> Developers <em> Website.AI </em> of the application Voilá AI Artist said their company will delete the data after 24-48 hours. However, this claim has yet to be verified. So, <em> Wired </em> users need to understand that the use of these &#8220;transforming&#8221; applications carries certain risks and needs to be responsible for themselves before using.</p>

As a result, many Facebook users have been fascinated by this trend. <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_14_23_39178230/88c7a44aab0842561b19.jpg" width="625" height="625"> <em> Due to Voila AI Artist&#8217;s impressive photo editing capabilities, internet users are going crazy with the cartoon photo trend. </em> According to the research of <em> VietNamNet</em> , to create such animated images, users have to download a photo editing app called Voilà AI Artist. According to the introduction of the development team, Voilà AI Artist is an application that combines human creativity and artificial intelligence. The aim is to turn photos into fun cartoons and create stunning masterpieces. Using Voilà AI Artist is quite simple, this application provides 4 different filter groups. Users can download and use it for free without creating an account. If you want to use the paid version with more advanced features, users will have to pay 48,000 VND/week, 87,000 VND/month or 476,000 VND/year of use. Paying will help the image processing speed faster, in addition, the returned image is not watermarked. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_14_23_39178230/c302e98fe6cd0f9356dc.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> Filters of Voila AI Artist photo editing application. Photo: Trong Dat</em> To create animated images, users only need to upload photos to the application for the AI ​​system to automatically process. In addition to creating images in the style of Pixar cartoon characters, the application also helps turn ordinary photos into renaissance paintings or caricatures.

And Vietnamese users are also very quickly caught up in that new trend. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_14_23_39178230/2004088907cbee95b7da.jpg" width="625" height="625"> <em> In addition to creating cartoon images, Voila AI Artis can also create renaissance-style drawings. </em> However, users should note because in addition to the rights required in normal photo editing applications such as accessing the camera, taking photos, reading content, modifying or deleting content in memory, Voilà AI Artist also requires quite a few sensitive permissions. Accordingly, one of the requirements when using Voilà AI Artist is location access, permission to run at startup, read notifications and prevent the phone from going to sleep. Voilà AI Artist is a product of Wemagine.AI. This is a company registered in the state of British Colombia (Canada). According to the developer, by downloading and installing the application, the user agrees to be bound by Voilà AI Artist&#8217;s terms and privacy policy. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_14_23_39178230/b64c91c19e8377dd2e92.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> Users need to be careful because the policy of the Voila AI Artis developer has many absurd points. Photo: Trong Dat</em> By accessing the application, from the first access, the user has unconditionally agreed to the terms of Voilà AI Artist and irrevocably these constraints. The application developer also reserves the right to change the terms and conditions and these changes are effective immediately without the consent of the user. In general, with photo editing applications like Voilà AI Artist, users need to be extremely vigilant about issues related to data and privacy. This is because, through the development of Voilà AI Artist, the developer can collect users&#8217; personal images for other purposes.</p>
