FotoSketcher is 100% free software for Windows (there is also an experimental version for MacOS) that converts your digital photos into beautiful paintings, sketches, or drawings automatically and in just a few mouse clicks.
Over 20 different styles are available from pencil sketches to watercolor or oil paintings, pen & ink drawings, abstract art, and cartoons. From photo to painting (landscapes, architecture, portraits, etc.) in seconds!
You can also improve your original photos with simple tools (enhance contrast, sharpen, simplify image, increase luminosity, color saturation, etc…) and add simple or realistic frames and text.
For advanced users, some more powerful tools allow you to batch process several images, manually retouch some areas of your pictures, combine multiple filters, and even create your effects by using the script function.
If you want to turn a portrait, a photograph of your house, or a beautiful landscape into a painting, a sketch or a drawing then look no further, FotoSketcher will do the job in just a few seconds.
Thanks to FotoSketcher you can create stunning images to make original gifts for your friends or relatives. Create birthday cards, season’s greetings stationery or simply print your work of art and hang it on the wall.
Different styles are available: pencil sketch, pen and ink drawing, and various painting renderings. You can also improve your original photo with simple tools (enhance contrast, sharpen, simplify image, increase luminosity, color saturation, etc…).
FotoSketcher is completely free, even for commercial use, and does not contain any adware, spyware, or virus.
Changes in FotoSketcher 3.95 :
Main bug fixes:
New and improved features:
- New Pencil Sketch 5 effect (replaces the previous one)
- New Light style for improved legibility
- Possibility to run FotoSketcher in silent mode (via the command line interface or by editing a shortcut to pass parameters). The syntax is as follows:
- FotoSketcher.exe -silent Source.jpg Dest.jpg 18 80 180 40 50 255 n y n
- where Source.jpg and Dest.jpg are respectively the filenames for the source image and the processed image, followed by the effect number (1 is Pencil Sketch 1, 2 is Pencil Sketch 2, etc…), followed by the 5 parameter values, and finally n/y for soften edges, frame, and texture.
- For advanced users, this could be used to pilot FotoSketcher from another graphics software.
- The standard custom frame has been updated and will adapt better (with less distortion) to the image ratio (square, portrait, or landscape)
- Right-clicking on the small custom frame pictogram in the top-right corner reverts the custom frame to the default one if you had loaded another.
Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 (32-bit, 64-bit).
