About PaintSnap: Photo to Painting

PaintSnap turns photos into paintings one brushstroke at a time, with styles ranging from realist to impressionistic - inspired by painters such as Van Gogh. PaintSnap also generates painting animations, which can be helpful for painters, digital artists, or art class students looking to paint photos in a style inspired by Impressionism. You can choose from 5 different painting styles - Impressionist level 0 through 4. Increasing the level will make the painting more impressionistic, while decreasing it will make it more realist (more closely matching the photo). The Repaint button in the bottom right allows you to create a slightly different version of the painting using the same photo and style - every painting generated is unique! - Save and share your painting animations as videos or animated GIFs, for free. Free videos have a small watermark; PaintSnap Premium removes it. Share them straight to Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Messages and more. - There are 2 painting animation types available: "Painting Creation" and "Infinite Loop" - which you can change in Settings. Some people find the "Infinite Loop" painting animations relaxing when style is set to Impressionist Level 2 or higher. To make GIFs, change the Video File Format in Settings to GIF. - Painting Creation videos end by fading to your original photo, for a before & after. You can turn this off in Settings with "End Video with Original Photo". - Crop your painting for Stories and Reels (9:16), Instagram posts (4:5) or square (1:1), and drag the photo to choose what's in the frame. - Paint any photo straight from the Photos app: tap Share and choose "Paint with PaintSnap". PaintSnap works offline and your photos never leave your device, so you can use it anywhere and anytime! By default, PaintSnap paints faces in more detail. You can turn off "Paint Faces in Detail" in Settings for photos with no faces, for slightly faster processing.

Device Requirements: - iOS 15.6 or later. - iPhones: iPhone 6s or newer. - iPads: iPad 6th gen or newer, iPad Air 3 or newer, or any iPad Pros. Specifications: - The painting image that you can save to your device is 3240 pixels wide with PaintSnap Premium, and 1080 pixels wide with the free version. - The painting animation video is 1080 pixels wide when saved as an MP4 video, and 800 pixels wide as a GIF. If you want to share an infinite loop animation on Instagram, pick the MP4 video file format since Instagram does not allow GIFs. If you want to share a GIF painting animation with a friend using iMessage, go to your iPhone/iPad's settings and make sure that Settings->Messages->Low Quality Image Mode is turned OFF.
