Frequently Asked Questions

Does this use AI to generate the sketch?

No, this is a real-time filter that applies edge detection and contrast adjustments directly in your browser. The result is an authentic pencil sketch effect, not an AI-generated reinterpretation of your photo.

Can I use the sketch for print?

Yes, the output image keeps your original resolution. You can use the result for wall art, tattoo stencils, or social media posts without losing quality.

Is it really free?

100% free with no watermarks, no daily limits, and no sign-up. You can process as many photos as you want.
