Photo Toy Studio

Turn Your Photo Into a Watercolor or Oil Painting Portrait

A photo to painting tool redraws your photo as a hand-painted portrait in either watercolor, with soft washes and paper texture, or oil paint, with thick brushstrokes and rich color. On Photo Toy Studio, you upload one photo and pick one of the two paint presets. The result is a digital image, not a physical canvas.
