A line drawing from your photo

Upload a photo and our AI turns it into a line drawing: just calm black lines on white, no shading. We print it as a poster for your wall. You see the proof and the price before you pay.

We then redraw your photo in lines (about a minute), and you see the proof and the price.

We only use your photo for your design. It isn't public, isn't used to train AI and is deleted after 30 days.

The photo

The same photo as a line drawing, drawn by AI

As a line drawing

Made from a stock photo (Pexels), not a customer. The line drawing was made by AI from the photo, not drawn by hand.

Line drawing from a photo: how it works

  1. 1

    Choose your photo

    Upload a photo from your phone or computer. The line art style is already selected.

  2. 2

    See the drawing and the proof

    The AI turns your photo into lines. You see the drawing on the poster, with the price including shipping. Not quite right? Try another style or another photo.

  3. 3

    We print and ship

    Only when you pay does it go to the print shop. They print the poster and send it to you.

Which photo works

  • A clear shape: a face in profile, a hug, a baby in someone's arms.
  • A calm background. The less going on, the stronger the lines.
  • Good light, so the outlines of faces and hands are easy to see.
  • A busy photo with lots of people or things: the drawing turns into a tangle of lines.
  • A dark or blurry photo.
  • A photo where the colour is the best part, like a sunset. Oil painting or watercolour suits that better.

The poster

Paper
Matte, satin or gloss poster paper, 135 to 300 gsm. You choose in the next step.
Frame
Optional: black, white, silver or wood, with a clear protective front.
Black and white
A line drawing is mostly white paper with black lines, so it can go big without looking busy.
Printed, not a download
You order a printed poster for your wall. A print shop prints it and ships it to you.

Which size

30 x 40 cm or A3 suits the wall above a desk, a child's room or a shelf. 40 x 50 and 50 x 70 cm fill a wall in the living room or bedroom.

Prefer another style?

On the design screen you can try another style with the same photo. You see every result first.

Oil painting

Colour and brush strokes, on canvas. For a photo where the light and colour tell the story.

Photo to painting

Watercolour

Soft, transparent colours with a thin outline. Lovely for a portrait of your pet.

Pet portrait

Pencil sketch

Also black and white, but softer: graphite strokes with light hatching.

Cartoon or storybook

Lines filled with flat colours, cheerful in a child's room.

Questions

Is it drawn by hand?

No. An AI draws the lines from your photo, and it is then printed as a poster.

Will it look like the photo?

The pose and the shapes stay as they are in the photo. Faces are simplified a lot in a line drawing, so you recognise someone mainly by their posture, their hair and the moment. It isn't guaranteed: you see the result first, before you pay.

What does it cost?

That depends on the size and the country it goes to. At the top of this page and next to each size you see the price for your country, shipping included. The exact price is shown next to your proof, before you pay.

How long does it take?

Drawing it takes about a minute. How long printing and delivery take depends on your country: you see the delivery time before you pay.

Can I choose a different style?

Yes. On the design screen you can pick pencil, watercolour or oil painting, for example, or describe a style of your own. You can switch product too, to canvas for instance.

What happens to my photo?

We only use it to make your design. It isn't public, isn't used to train AI and is deleted after 30 days.

Can I use any photo?

Almost any. We don't draw brands, logos or well-known characters. Use a photo you took yourself, of you, your family or your pet.

What if it arrives damaged?

Email us within 14 days with a photo. If it arrived damaged or misprinted, we reprint it or refund you.
