Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What kind of photos work best for sketches?
Photographs with high contrast and well-lit subjects usually produce the most striking sketch effects. Portraits, architecture, and close-up shots typically yield the best results.
Does the sketch tool reduce my image resolution?
No! Our sketching algorithm redraws the effects matching your original image's pixel dimensions. The downloaded sketch will maintain the exact high-definition resolution of your original file.
Why is the downloaded file a JPEG?
Because the sketch effect inherently produces an opaque, black-and-white grayscale image, we export the file as a JPEG. This preserves 100% visual fidelity while significantly reducing the file size compared to PNGs.
