Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between pencil and charcoal sketches?

Pencil sketches create clean, detailed line drawings with sharp edges, while charcoal sketches produce bold, textured effects with more artistic, painterly qualities.

How does the intensity slider work?

Higher intensity creates more prominent sketch lines and stronger effects, while lower intensity produces subtle, delicate sketches.

What types of photos work best?

High contrast images with clear subjects work best. Portraits, landscapes, and images with distinct edges produce the most impressive sketch results.

What image formats are supported?

We support JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP formats. You can upload images up to 10MB in size.

Is my original image safe?

Absolutely! We never modify your original image. All processing happens in your browser, and you download a new sketch version.
