Frequently Asked Questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere when using Photo to Sketch?
No — the styling runs on local canvas. The page opens the full photo editor pre-styled; nothing leaves your device. Exception: the optional AI Describe button sends a small downscaled preview to Gemini (1 credit, stated on the button).
Is this real sketch conversion or a filter?
Honestly a filter look: grayscale plus contrast curve, tuned live. It reads as sketch on portraits but draws no lines — true AI line-art needs a model, which would need your upload.
Which photos sketch best?
High-contrast portraits and architecture. Flat, hazy photos go muddy — run Auto-fix first, then re-open the sketch preset.
Can I combine sketch with text or blur?
Yes — the full editor stays under it: annotate, blur, crop, and tune further before export.
