- Pick a photo, drawing, or anime image from your computer.
- Choose the line art or edge extraction mode.
- Adjust the strength, detail, or threshold settings if they appear.

The app usually works best when the source image has clear shapes and good contrast.
Turn anime-style images into clean outlines for redraws, edits, and practice work.
Extract edges from buildings, rooms, and floor plans to make simple sketch views.
Convert normal photos into line drawings for tracing or stylized art.
Pull out main object edges for clean contour maps and shape study.
Detect important edges while reducing small noise in the image.
The app may include controls like these:
- Threshold: changes how dark or light lines appear
- Edge strength: makes outlines stronger or softer
- Detail level: keeps more small parts or removes them
- Noise reduction: removes tiny spots and rough marks
- Preview: shows the result before you save it
If you are not sure what to change, start with the default settings. Then test with one image first.
For clean results, use images with:
- clear objects
- strong light and shadow
- simple backgrounds
- sharp focus
- enough image size
Images that are blurry, very dark, or crowded can still work, but the result may need more cleanup.
- Use a high-quality image when possible
- Crop out extra background before processing
- Start with one image and compare results
- Try different settings on the same image
- Save each version if you want to compare outputs later
- Use simple images first if you are new to the app
If the outline looks too busy, lower the detail setting. If the lines look too weak, raise the edge strength or threshold.
The app may support common image formats such as:
- PNG
- JPG
- JPEG
- BMP
- WEBP
For saving, PNG is a good choice because it keeps line work sharp.
