How to convert photos to pencil sketches?

This tool converts photographs into pencil sketch drawings using the dodge blend technique.

Control pencil stroke thickness, brightness, and contrast to fine-tune the sketch appearance.

  • Upload the photos you want to convert to sketches.
  • Adjust Stroke Thickness (5-30) to control pencil line width.
  • Set Brightness (-50 to 50) to lighten or darken the sketch.
  • Adjust Contrast (0.5-2) to make lines sharper or softer.
  • Preview the sketch effect in real-time.
  • Download individual sketches or all at once.
How does the pencil sketch effect work?
  • The pencil sketch effect uses dodge blending: the image is converted to grayscale, inverted, blurred, then blended with the original using the dodge formula. This creates the appearance of light pencil shading on paper.
What are the uses of pencil sketch conversion?
  • Artistic portraits, coloring book outlines, architectural visualization, unique social media profile pictures, vintage illustration aesthetics, and educational diagrams.
