Each preset provides a starting prompt. Add your own details in the tool to guide the result.
Our photo to painting converter lets you customize the style, guide important details, and edit the result.
Start with a preset, then adjust the brushwork, colors, and texture with your own instructions. You can also describe a style from scratch.
Tell the AI which facial features, pet markings, or landmarks to keep. Your photo and instructions guide the result; an exact match is not guaranteed.
Adjust a generated painting with another instruction, or return to an earlier version. Mark an area to guide an edit; the mark is not a precise mask.
Choose a model, resolution, and image count. The tool shows the total credit cost before you generate, including when you request another edit.
Sign in and upload one JPG, PNG, or WebP photo. Choose a clear image with the subject and key details visible.
Select a preset or describe your own style. Add any details you want to keep, then choose the model, aspect ratio, resolution, and number of output images. Review the total credit cost and click Generate Painting.
Check the subject and important details in your painting. If needed, edit the generated version with another instruction. Download the version you prefer.
To make your photo look like a painting, describe the brushwork and texture you want. Start with a clear photo, then check the subject and details before downloading.
Your Photo
Use a photo where faces, pet markings, or building features are easy to see. For group portraits, choose an image where every face is clear.
Photo tip: A closer family photo gives you more visible facial detail to work with.
Painting Style
Name a medium and the look you want, such as thick oil strokes or soft watercolor washes. If you selected a preset, add details that refine it rather than contradict it.
Example instruction: “Use thicker brushstrokes and a warm color palette.”
Key Details
Specify the expression, markings, or shapes that identify your subject. Check those details in the painting; preservation instructions do not guarantee an exact match.
Example instruction: “Keep the dog’s white forehead marking, amber eyes, and seated pose.”
Editing
If the painting is close to what you want, edit that version with one specific request. Review what changed before making another edit, and return to an earlier version if you prefer it.
Example instruction: “Use looser brushstrokes in the background. Keep the person’s expression and pose.”

Answers about source photos, likeness, downloads, printing, and using your artwork.
Upload a photo, choose a painting style, and generate your image. You can then edit the result and download the version you prefer. Follow the three steps above for the full process.
New accounts receive 6 trial credits. Sign in to upload and generate; free accounts generate at 1K. This is a limited trial, not unlimited free generation. Check the cost in the tool before generating.
Upload one JPG, PNG, or WebP photo. Convert other formats before uploading. Choose a photo where the subject and important details are clearly visible.
No. The thumbnails illustrate a visual style, and each preset supplies a starting prompt. The result depends on your photo, selected model, and instructions. Add your own details or continue editing the generated image to refine it.
An exact match is not guaranteed. AI can change facial features, small details, and composition. Describe what you want to keep, then check those details against your original photo before using the painting.
A broad style request can leave the painted look open to interpretation. Specify the medium, brushwork, and texture, and check that your added instructions do not conflict with the preset. See the painting tips for example instructions. A more specific request still does not guarantee a particular result.
Yes. Edit the generated version with a follow-up instruction to change its style or details. You can mark an area to guide the edit, but the mark is not a precise mask and changes can extend beyond it.
No subscription is required. The cost depends on the model, resolution, and number of images. Each output and follow-up edit uses credits; the tool shows the total before you generate. Buy a one-time credit pack when you need more. Purchased credits do not expire.

Yes, if the downloaded file meets your printer’s requirements. Check its pixel dimensions against your intended print size and inspect the image at full size. Selecting 4K does not guarantee suitability for every print size. Arrange printing yourself; ImgtoImg does not print or ship physical paintings.
