How It Works

A highly efficient computer vision library (OpenCV.js) is utilized by our tool, and it does all the processing within the web browser. First, it conducts an analysis of the image to detect the outlines and color areas, then it proceeds to apply this information in the step-by-step recreation of the image. The whole procedure is performed on your computer, which means that your images are never sent to a server, thus offering 100% privacy.
