Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make my photo look like charcoal?

Just upload your photo, pick the 'Charcoal' drawing style, and hit apply. You can then save the drawing or share it instantly.

Will the charcoal look "smudgy" like a real drawing?

Yes! The app replicates the smoky, soft-edge look of natural charcoal, making the shadows look blended by hand rather than just colored in

Is this style better for portraits or landscapes?

While it works for both, it is particularly stunning for portraits because it highlights the dramatic lighting and emotions on a person's face.
