What does the AI oil painting effect do?

It uses your photo as a reference to create an image with an oil painting look. The result may include painterly brush marks, blended colours and a canvas-like texture; the appearance depends on the selected model and your input.

Can I choose a different painting style?

The style options include Classic Oil, Impasto, Modern Art, Renaissance and Portrait Oil. You can also describe a style of your own. The result can vary with the model and prompt you choose.

Will the result keep the face and expression in my photo?

The uploaded photo guides the result, but facial features and expressions may change. If likeness matters, check the result carefully and try a different model or prompt if needed.

What resolution will the result be?

Available output resolution depends on the model you select. Nano Banana Pro offers 1K, 2K and 4K options; check the model settings and credit cost before generating.

Can I print the oil painting result?

You can download the generated image and consider printing it. Check its actual resolution and preview the result at the intended print size, as print suitability depends on both.

Can I try the effect for free?

You need to sign in to generate, and the tool checks your account credit balance. Check the selected model's displayed credit cost and your available credits before starting. Plan terms determine whether credits are included; generation is not unlimited.

How long does generation take?

Generation time can vary depending on the selected model and current conditions. Check History later if your result does not appear straight away.

Can I use the generated image commercially?

Commercial use depends on the terms that apply to your account and the selected model. Check those terms before using a generated image commercially.
