About this tool

Turn a photo into art in one click

AI Filters re-renders your photo in a chosen art style. Unlike a color overlay, the image model redraws brushwork, texture and line so the result reads as a painting or illustration rather than a tinted photo. There are eight styles: Oil Painting, Watercolor, Pencil Sketch, Anime, Pop Art, Cyberpunk, Impressionist and Minimalist.

Each filter sends a style-specific prompt alongside your image. Oil Painting adds visible strokes and rich color, Watercolor adds bleeding edges and paper texture, Pencil Sketch uses line weight and cross-hatching, Pop Art uses flat color and Ben-Day dots, and so on. Composition stays the same. You get a full-size PNG to download or save.

Questions

How much does a filter cost?

One credit per image. Each style you try is a separate run, so three styles on one photo cost three credits.

Which style works best for portraits?

Oil Painting, Watercolor and Anime tend to keep faces recognisable. Minimalist and Pop Art simplify features more heavily.

What are the file limits?

PNG, JPG or WebP up to 25MB. Output is a PNG at a similar size to the input.

Can I use my own reference artwork?

Not here. Use the Style Transfer tool to apply the look of a specific painting or image.
