Frequently asked questions
Does this generate new details or send my photo to an AI service?
No. It applies local image filters to the pixels you supply. It does not reconstruct missing detail or upload the photo to an AI service.
Why does my sketch look different from a hand drawing?
The result is an automatic filter, not a hand-drawn illustration. Lighting, contrast and image detail affect the lines. Try the settings and compare all four previews before downloading.
