Frequently Asked Questions
What effects are available?▼
Pencil Sketch (grayscale + invert + blur + dodge blend), Cartoon (edge detection + posterize), Oil Painting (pixelate with averaged colors), and Pixel Art (heavy pixelation + limited palette).
How does the pencil sketch effect work?▼
It converts the image to grayscale, inverts it, applies a Gaussian blur, then blends the result with the original grayscale using a color dodge algorithm — mimicking pencil strokes.
Can I adjust the effect intensity?▼
Yes. Use the intensity slider to control how strong the effect is. Lower values give a subtle effect; higher values make it more pronounced.
Is my photo processed on a server?▼
No. All effects are applied using Canvas pixel manipulation directly in your browser. Your photos never leave your device.
