What the AI does

The neural network reads the photo you upload and turns it into a drawing. It keeps the main facial features, the pose, the clothing, the background and the composition, but changes how it all looks: it adds artistic lines, strokes, brushwork, textures, the color palette and the atmosphere of the style you chose.

What to keep in mind

The result depends on the quality of the original photo
Heavy stylization can change small details
The more precise the style, the closer the result
The AI makes an artistic version, not an exact copy of the photo
