THE PETAL MAP
Turn your photo into a painting outline
Take or choose a photo. In about a minute you get clean lines, ready to print and paint.
Tips for a great photo
- One main subject.One flower, one pet, one person, or a small group. The simpler the photo, the cleaner your outline.
- Get close.Fill most of the screen with what you want to paint. Leave a little space around the edges.
- Good light, no flash.Daylight near a window or outdoors in the shade works best. Avoid strong shadows and very dark photos.
- Keep it sharp.Hold your phone still and tap the screen to focus. Blurry photos give messy lines.
- A simple background helps.A wall, the sky, grass or a plain table is better than a busy room.
- People and pets: show the face.Face toward the camera, eyes visible, at eye level. Get down to your pet's height.
- Flowers: from above or from the side.One bloom or a small bunch, not a whole garden from far away.
- Vertical or horizontal, both work.Your outline keeps the same shape and fits on Letter size paper.
Good to know
Your outline is inspired by your photo. Faces are simplified into clean lines, so they won't be an exact copy.
Only use photos you took yourself or have permission to use.
Some photos can't be converted, for example photos with nudity. If that happens, it won't count, and you can try another one.
Your photos are converted and then deleted. We don't keep them.
