Your portrait, painted in oils

Oil Painting repaints your photo like a classical portrait in a gallery: thick, visible brush strokes, deep shadows and glowing highlights. The composition and your likeness stay.

Example: the Oil Painting recipe on an AI-generated model photo (not a real person), made with the same AI the app uses. Drag to compare. Your result depends on your photo.

Oil Painting: museum masterpiece. Oil Painting repaints the whole photo as a classical oil painting. You'll see visible brush strokes, rich chiaroscuro lighting (the dramatic contrast of deep shadow and bright highlight that old masters used) and a classic, museum-style finish. The recipe tells the AI to keep the composition and your likeness, so the scene stays the one you shot and you're meant to stay recognizable. It suits portraits, pets, flowers and landscapes alike. Like any painting, it's an interpretation: brush strokes soften some fine detail, and no two results are quite the same.

What you get

  • A classical oil painting of your whole photo
  • Visible, textured brush strokes
  • Chiaroscuro lighting: deep shadows, glowing highlights
  • A classic, museum-style finish
  • Composition and likeness kept
