PaintSnap can create two types of animations: the painting creation and the "infinite loop" animations, which you can save as MP4 video or animated GIF to your photo library with PaintSnap Premium.
PaintSnap can also generate two types of painting animations, which can be helpful for painters or art class students looking to paint a photo in an impressionist style.
Some people find the infinite loop painting animations soothing/relaxing when used with styles Impressionist Level 2 or greater - even ease their anxiety a bit when used with a larger screen like in iPad.
- The painting image that you can save to your device is 2160 pixels wide with PaintSnap Premium, and 1080 pixels wide with the free version.
- (PaintSnap Premium only) The painting animation video is 1080 pixels wide when saved as an MP4 video, and 800 pixels wide as a GIF.
If you want to share a GIF painting animation with a friend using iMessage, go to your iPhone/iPad's settings and make sure that Settings->Messages->Low Quality Image Mode is turned OFF.
The Repaint button in the bottom right allows you to create a slightly different version of the painting using the same photo and style - every painting generated is unique.
To turn PaintSnap Premium into a GIF maker, change the Video File Type in Settings to GIF.
If enjoy using PaintSnap and the digital art that it creates, please consider leaving an App Store review or rating — we’d really appreciate it! Every review counts and helps indie developers and digital artists like ourselves.
If you want to share an infinite loop animation on Instagram, pick the video file type of MP4 since Instagram does not allow GIFs.
PaintSnap turns photos into paintings one brushstroke at a time, with styles ranging from realist to impressionistic - inspired by painters such as Van Gogh.
You can choose from 5 different painting styles - Impressionist level 0 through 4.
Increasing the level will make the painting more impressionistic, while decreasing it will make it more realist (more closely matching the photo).
By default, PaintSnap uses face detection to paint faces in more detail.
