Frequently Asked Questions
Is my photo uploaded?+
No. The sketch is created on your device.
How does it work?+
It blends an inverted, blurred copy of your photo with the original (the classic “colour dodge” trick) so only the edges stay dark, like pencil lines.
Is my data safe?+
Yes. Everything runs inside your own browser. Your text, files and images are never uploaded to any server.
Is this tool really free?+
Yes — completely free, no signup, no watermark and no usage limit.
