Full-Image & Intelligent Face Processing
Our paint-by-number generator now features advanced, fully automated image analysis. Upon upload, the system processes your entire image, identifying all faces and group portraits while maintaining high-detail rendering for the full scene.
What happens when you upload:
-
Complete Image Analysis: We render the full scene in a high-quality paint-by-number format, ensuring the background and environment remain as detailed as the subjects.
-
Intelligent Face Recognition: Every face in your photo-whether it’s a solo portrait or a large group-is automatically detected.
-
Optimized Detail for All: The generator intelligently allocates extra precision and color depth to facial features, ensuring eyes, expressions, and skin tones are clearly defined across all detected individuals, while keeping the rest of your image perfectly balanced.
Everything is processed automatically the moment you upload-no manual settings required.
Tips for Great Paintings
-
Choose High Contrast
Images with distinct light and dark areas create clearer, easier-to-paint boundaries. -
Simplify Your Scene
Photos with fewer, larger subjects generally result in a more enjoyable painting experience than overly detailed or busy compositions. -
Optimize Lighting
Well-lit photos are preferred; heavy, complex shadows can generate tiny, difficult-to-paint facets that may clutter your design. -
Check Resolution
While our engine is powerful, using a clean, sharp source image ensures the best possible vector conversion.
Paint Suggestions
-
Use the Palette Guide
Download the matching palette chart to use as a detailed reference guide for every specific color used in your digital design. -
Check RGB Values
Reference the exported palette sheet to view the exact RGB values displayed below each swatch to help track your color mixing precisely. -
Prepare Proper Supplies
Make sure to have a high-quality physical canvas, premium paints, and multiple brushes ready to safely transfer your vector layout to physical media. -
Consider a Physical Kit
If matching custom paint colors on your own is too difficult, you can choose to order a complete custom kit with a real canvas, premium paints, and brushes shipped directly to your door.
How to Print and Prepare Your Canvas
Now that you have your files, follow these steps to prepare your project:
-
Step 1 Scaling Your Design
Open your SVG or PDF in your preferred design software to scale the design to your desired canvas size without losing quality.
-
Step 2 Printing Options
For large formats, print your file at a local shop on engineering paper. Alternatively, print it at home across multiple standard pages and tape them together.
-
Step 3 Transferring to Canvas
Place a sheet of graphite transfer paper between your printed template and a blank canvas, then trace over the lines with a ballpoint pen to transfer the design.
