Frequently asked

questions

What is a painting effect?

A painting effect allows you to turn any ordinary photo into a painting in just one click. You choose from a variety of styles with our easy photo-to-painting tools and become your own portrait painter!

Feel free to explore our site and experiment with different photos until you find something that matches your style. Your image will look like it has been painted by a real maestro.

Which painting style can I use?

We have a variety of painting styles to choose from, whether you want to create an oil painting, watercolor or mixed media. We can also help bring your vision to life if you are looking for a photo to cartoon effect without learning Adobe Photoshop first. It’s simple, online and easy to use.

Just upload your picture, paint your portrait and download it to your computer. We also have an offline version of the app so you can create an image when you aren’t connected to the Internet.

Turning photos into art has never been easier. There are plenty of filters to match your style.

What will my photo look like when I'm done?

The end result will depend on the filters you’ve chosen. There are a number of different styles you can choose, including watercolor, oil, or other artists’ styles. Once you’ve finished your artwork, you can get really creative with your “canvas” using our editing features.

You can adjust the brightness or contrast of your pictures, add artistic flair with a modern filter or just convert it to a different format so you can print or share it.

What else can I do with Colorcinch?

If portraits aren’t your thing, you can try our photo cartoon filter, explore dreamy Ghibli art styles, or experiment with our photo to anime effect.

Our free online tools also let you turn your creations into an NFT or a standout profile picture in just a few clicks.

Do I need to know Photoshop to edit my picture?

No, you can turn your picture into a portrait with a simple filter. There’s no coding or Photoshop involved. Anyone can turn their photo into a work of art!

Will the app work on images featuring a landscape or animals?

Absolutely. You can turn your landscape photo or pet pic into an impressive portrait in seconds.
