Choose a photo that works well

Choose a well-lit photo with enough space around the subject. Pencil and charcoal emphasize lines and shading; watercolor and illustration styles interpret colors and shapes. AI results can differ from the original.

How it works

  1. Pick a photo.

    Anything in your camera roll — a portrait, a pet, a building, a plate of food. Keep the whole scene or cut the subject out of its background.

  2. Choose a look.

    Any of the 52 styles, or one of the six activity sheets. Every tile in the picker shows what it does to your photo, so you're choosing from the result, not a name.

  3. Print, share, color.

    Send it straight to someone, print it, or bundle a set of drawings into one PDF for the printer down the road.

Save, share and print your result

Export a PDF from your gallery and check the paper size in your printer settings. Review the print preview and keep the margins visible. You can combine several finished drawings into one PDF.

Common questions

Is a photo sketch the same as a coloring page?
A sketch can include shading and texture. A coloring-page style leaves white spaces for coloring. Choose the style for how you plan to use the result.
Can I create a picture on this website?
This website shows what Lineora can make. To transform your own photo, use the iOS or Android app. AI generation needs an internet connection.
Can I print several drawings together?
Yes. Select drawings in your gallery and export a PDF. For ad-funded drawings, the app can request an additional ad for sharing or PDF export and include a watermark.
