Brush strokes and detail
The Brush Size controls the radius of the painterly smoothing effect. Lower values preserve fine detail, making it ideal for portraits. Higher values simplify the image into bold, expressive color masses.
This edge-preserving filter intelligently smooths textures while maintaining sharp boundaries. It creates a convincing oil painting effect without the muddy blurring found in basic photo filters.
Paint vibrance
Paint Vibrance boosts the color saturation before the brush strokes are applied. This simulates the rich, heavily pigmented look of actual oil paints.
Keep it low for a muted, natural result, or increase it for a bold, gallery-style aesthetic. Use this alongside the brush size to convert a photo to an oil painting online free of charge.
Canvas texture
Canvas Texture Opacity overlays a subtle woven fabric pattern onto the image. This adds physical realism, giving the digital oil painting the appearance of a physical artwork on stretched linen.
Adjust the opacity to match the scale of your image. A moderate texture often provides the most convincing final result.
