Painteresque Photo to Sketch

Painteresque lets you make your photos look like paintings, charcoal drawings, colored pencils, lithographic print, vintage, trippy, retro, portrait, etc.

Just select a photo from your photo album or camera for Painteresque to revisualize, and a few seconds later the resulting image is ready to save. You can choose from a handful of included filters, or fine tune various settings and save custom filters.

It generally produces good results for scenery, still life, architecture, plants, birds, and animals. Results for photos of people can be good or bad since it tends to bring out details rather than hiding them.

Your privacy is protected because all processing happens locally on your device and your photo is not sent to any server. This is why the processing might also take a few seconds depending upon how new your device is.

All features in the app are provided for free. There are no ads, trackers, analytics, subscriptions or other junk.

Small indie developers like us benefit from your support. If you do enjoy the app, we request you pay us a tip from the app to help pay for development cost and constantly improve the app with new filters. The tip will be shared with Brandyn, the original developer of many of the filters over 12 years ago.

You can also support us by leaving a review on the App Store :)
