A Step-by-Step Guide to the Sketch Studio

Follow this guide to understand every feature and create stunning sketch art.

1

Upload Your Photos

Begin by dragging and dropping your photos onto the upload area, or click to browse and select files. Each uploaded image will appear in its own interactive editor, ready for its artistic transformation.

2

Adjust the Sketch Effect

For each image, find the Sketch Detail slider in the control panel.

  • Drag the slider to the right to increase the detail and darkness of the sketch lines.
  • The image preview updates in real-time, instantly showing your artistic creation.
  • Set the slider back to 0 to see the original photo.

Tips for Great Sketch Effects

The sketch effect works best on certain types of photos. Here's how to get amazing results:

  • Use High-Contrast Photos: Images with clear subjects and distinct light and dark areas produce the most dramatic and detailed sketches.
  • Portraits and Pets: Close-up shots of faces and animals work exceptionally well, capturing expressions and textures beautifully.
  • Create Coloring Pages: Convert simple line art or photos of objects into outlines that you can print and color.
  • Personalized Gifts: Turn a favorite memory into a sketch and print it on a card, mug, or t-shirt for a truly unique and heartfelt gift.
