Convert a photo into any sketch style

Most sketch converters lock you into preset filters. VEED's photo to sketch converter gives you endless possibilities. Upload your photo and describe exactly what you want: "Turn this photo into a pencil sketch with heavy shading," "Convert this to clean line art for tattoo design," or "Make this a coloring book page with thick outlines."

Get access to multiple AI models for different sketch conversions. Test different models to compare results and find which output works best for your image. Choose the model that fits your project, then download your image. You can also bring your sketch into our video editor to create social media posts, animated content, and more.

How to turn a photo into a sketch:

Step 1

Upload your image to the editor

Upload the photo you want to convert. You can upscale your image first if you're working with low-resolution photos. The editor accepts JPG, PNG, and other common image formats.

Step 2

Select a model and describe the sketch style

Choose an AI model that fits your sketch conversion needs. Type your prompt: "Convert this to pencil sketch," "Turn this into line art," or "Make this a coloring book style drawing." You can also use the Style feature to instantly apply preset sketch styles like sketch, cartoon, and digital painting.

Step 3

Download or create a video

Save your sketch or generate variations with different styles. You can also animate your sketch with image-to-video AI or add it to a video project in our video editor.

Create your sketch assets and video content in one place without switching platforms.
