Portrait outlines
Front/soft light with minimal shadows so edges stay sharp; if you need shading or soft hair, switch to Pencil/Charcoal.
Architecture & plans
Straight facades, floorplans, signage with clear edges and contrast; minimize glass glare for blueprint-like lines.
Product & packaging
White/solid backgrounds and defined silhouettes; ideal for stickers, dielines, or vector tracing.
Coloring pages & stickers

Photo to Ink Line Art FAQs
Get the cleanest outlines: focus on edges, contrast, and tidy backgrounds.
What photos work best for ink line art?
High-contrast subjects with clear edges and simple backgrounds. Aim for ~1500px+ on the long side, avoid heavy filters, strong backlight, and noisy images.
Lines look jagged or noisy—how to fix it?
Use higher-resolution, low-noise sources; brighten slightly and boost contrast for clearer edges. For complex scenes, remove the background or enable white background when generating.
Can thin hair or fur stay clean?
Ink Line favors solid edges. Tidy hair/fur and reduce noise; very fluffy subjects may look better in Pencil or Cross-Hatching for softer strands.
How do I get a pure white or transparent background?
Toggle white background when generating. If the original is busy, remove the background first; for stickers or coloring pages, keep backgrounds plain and bright.
Settings for coloring pages or stickers?
Use a plain/white background, center the subject (~60%+ of frame), keep lighting even, reduce reflections and gradients. Simpler edges yield cleaner, printable lines.
