What kind of sketches work best?

Clear line drawings with distinct outlines can give the model useful visual guidance. You can try both simple stick figures and detailed sketches; results depend on the image, prompt and selected model.

Does it work with colored sketches?

You can use black-and-white line art or coloured sketches. The model may use the colours in your sketch as visual guidance.

Can I control the output style?

Add a text prompt to describe the style, lighting and mood you want in the generated image. Results can vary by model.

What image formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and JPEG formats are all supported.

Can I use it for commercial design work?

You can explore ideas for concept art, product design prototypes and architectural visualisations. Check the terms that apply to your selected model and plan before using generated images commercially.

How long will image generation take?

Generation time varies with the selected model and other factors. Check the interface for the current task status.

How are uploaded images handled?

Your sketch may be processed by the selected model provider. Storage and retention depend on the provider and the account and storage policies; check those policies before uploading sensitive images.

Can I iterate on the same sketch?

You can try different prompts with the same sketch to explore alternative interpretations. The available options depend on the selected model.

Sketch to 3D
Turn a sketch into a polished, 3D-looking image. The result is a rendered image, not a downloadable 3D model.
Line Art Colouriser
Upload clean line art or a rough sketch, choose a colour treatment and line fidelity, then add colour while preserving the drawing’s composition.
Sewing Fabric Visualizer
See how a fabric could read on a garment before cutting into it. The sewing fabric visualizer keeps the garment reference as the design guide and uses your chosen material reference for color and pattern; the result is a visual comparison rather than a measured fit simulation.

What Is AI Sketch to Image?

AI sketch to image uses an image-generation model to turn a hand-drawn sketch or line drawing into a new image. Your sketch provides visual guidance for elements such as composition and pose, while your prompt describes the look you want. Results vary with the input and selected model.
