Tips
Classic uses color-dodge blending for a clean sketch; lower Detail keeps more line detail, higher softens shading.
Contour finds edges (Sobel) — great for logos and portraits. Raise Edge threshold for fewer, bolder lines.
Paper grain adds subtle texture. Colorize tints the sketch with colors from the original photo.
Large photos: set Max size to 800–1200 px for faster processing. Export as PNG to keep paper-tint edges clean.
How it works: The photo is converted to luminance, blurred, and blended (color dodge or edge detection) on a canvas; optional grain and paper tint are composited. All pixel math runs in your browser.
