Optional: Sketch Conversion on Your PC

We have an optional Windows tool for your computer that does the same job, but locally. Our downloadable image to sketch converter does not use artificial intelligence and relies on conventional algorithms instead so that you can use it without a GPU. It’s your choice between an AI-powered online service and a conventional Windows tool.

Tips for Creating a Perfect Sketch

Unlike traditional algorithmic conversions that rely on hard edges for subject isolation, AI-based tools are much less picky about the source image. Yet there are still things you can do to improve your results.

Choose quality photos

If you start with a high-quality image, the chance of getting a quality result is higher. The AI can cope with low-resolution image, but only to a degree.

Have a clear main subject

Sketches are not photos. They should have a subject, whether a person, a building, or a busy street. Make sure your subject is clearly defined and stands out clearly agaNSKT the background.

Pick simple backgrounds

Speaking of backgrounds, the simpler the better. You don’t want your sketch to have cluttered or overly complex background. If necessary, crop or edit the source photo to ensure that the focus remains on the main subject.

Some subjects work better

We trained our AI model on a variety of subjects, yet some of them work better than others. We found that faces and portraits in general, human subjects, animals, buildings, and individual objects make great sketch subjects.
