AI Prompt
The figures in the reference photograph were transformed into a Van Gogh-style painting. By altering only the overall style—without modifying the figures' features or the surrounding environment—the viewer's attention was naturally drawn in. The background remained unchanged, the style was rendered in a realistic manner, and the aspect ratio was 3:4.

Frequently Asked Questions About Turning Photos into Paintings with AI
How does AI turn an ordinary photo into a painting?
It thoroughly analyzes the distribution of colors and the direction of lines in the photo, simulates the way a painter applies brushstrokes to a canvas, and recreates the image with delicate oil-painting textures.
Will a face become blurry or distorted after a portrait photo is converted into an oil painting?
No. During the generation process, the algorithm automatically protects the facial contours and features in the portrait. The final artwork adds artistic brushstrokes while preserving the person’s authentic appearance and spirit, ensuring that the image remains clear and natural.
What is the image quality after the photo is converted into a painting?
The exported artwork maintains high-resolution quality. Whether it is used as a phone or computer wallpaper, shared on social media, or downloaded for printing on a physical canvas or placing in a frame, the image details and colors remain exceptionally refined.
How long does it take to generate a painting after uploading a photo?
It usually takes only a few seconds. Once the system receives the uploaded image, the rendering engine quickly begins recreating it with artistic brushstrokes, allowing you to preview the final oil-painting effect with almost no waiting time.
Are there any requirements for the format or dimensions of uploaded photos?
You can upload photos in standard formats commonly used by mobile phones, such as JPG or PNG. To ensure that the resulting oil painting contains sufficiently rich details, we recommend choosing a clear source image with even lighting whenever possible.
Is this oil-painting style suitable for creating a personal artistic avatar?
It is highly suitable. Because the generation algorithm naturally follows facial contours while reconstructing the image with artistic brushstrokes, the result has the distinctive atmosphere of gallery art while maintaining a high degree of recognizability. It looks especially striking when used as an avatar on platforms such as WeChat and Instagram.
Can pet or landscape photos also be converted into paintings, in addition to solo portraits?
Yes. Whether it is an adorable close-up of your cat or dog, or a photo of architecture or natural scenery taken during your travels, AI can accurately capture the structure of the scene and the variations in color, creating a distinctive oil painting.
Can the exported artwork be framed or printed as a physical wall decoration?
Absolutely. The exported image offers excellent clarity and color performance. Even when enlarged and printed on a physical canvas or placed in a frame, it can still clearly display the delicate oil-painting brushstrokes and canvas textures.
Do I need to write complicated prompts or manually adjust parameters during the generation process?
Not at all. To ensure a smooth user experience, we have already integrated the optimal rendering logic into the system. All you need to do is upload your preferred photo and click Generate—the system will automatically handle everything else.
Can I generate the image again if I want to try different rendering details after the first result?
Of course. If you would like to see a different distribution of brushstrokes, you can resubmit the same photo or upload another one at any time and generate it again until you obtain the artwork you love most.
