FAQ

Photo to painting: questions

What painting styles can I choose?

Painting gives a soft, painterly look with flowing color, Watercolor Art a dreamy watercolor wash, and Brush Stroke Painting bold, visible strokes. All three start from the same photo, so you can compare them side by side.

Which photos make the best paintings?

Sharp photos with one clear subject and good light. Busy scenes still work, but a painting simplifies detail, so small background objects can blend together.

Can I print the painting or sell it?

Yes. Save it to your phone and print it like any other photo; the artwork you create is yours to use, including on products you sell, as long as the original photo is yours.
