Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the colour pop (subject in colour) tool.

Can the background be a sketch instead of grey?

Yes: the background takes whatever style you pick (pencil, watercolour, cartoon…) while you stay in colour.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Every style is drawn in your browser; the subject cut-out AI also runs on your device.

Is it a neural "AI art" filter?

No: these are image operations (edges, strokes, palettes, textures) designed to look like each style, so they are fast, private and the same on every device. Hold the picture to compare with the original.

Can I sketch only the person?

Yes: choose Only the subject and the background becomes white, paper, a colour or transparent. Subject in colour keeps you in colour on a sketched background.

Is it free?

Yes, no watermark, no sign-up.
