About Photo to Painting

Most people have a photo they would love to see as a painting: a pet, a parent, a house, a trip. We make that possible in a browser. You upload the photo, pick a style, and download a painting you can share, frame or print.

Your photo and your style go to an image model together with a fixed painting brief: keep the subject recognizable (faces, ages, pet markings, landmarks), keep the composition, make the result look painted or drawn rather than filtered, keep every person fully clothed and adult, and add no signature, watermark or lettering. When a style names a historical painter, the brief asks for their general technique only, never a copy of an existing artwork.

Results are AI-generated digital images, not hand-painted works. They can change small details, so we show variations side by side and ask you to review every painting before you use it.

Quick uses Nano Banana 2 (20 credits per painting, 1K or 2K) and Fine Art uses Nano Banana Pro (45 credits, up to 4K), Google's Gemini image models, through a commercial model API. Your photos and style are sent to the model provider only to make your paintings. Images from these models carry SynthID, an invisible watermark that identifies them as AI-generated.

The price shows before you generate. Free account; paintings use purchased credits; credits come from monthly plans or one-time packs, paid through Stripe. Failed or cancelled generations are refunded to your balance automatically. We sell digital paintings only and do not print or ship anything.

We store your uploaded photos at unlisted links so the model can read them, and your paintings in your private history. No one else sees them, they are never used as examples, and we do not sell them or use them to train models.

We keep your photos and paintings while your account is open; there is no automatic deletion schedule. Ask us to delete them at any time, and we delete them when you close your account, as the privacy policy describes.

Upload only photos you have the right to use: your own, your pets, places, and photos of adults who agreed. Photos of anyone under 18 are not allowed. Do not use the service to sexualize, embarrass, deceive or impersonate anyone. We may refuse requests and close accounts that break these rules.

Photo to Painting is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Google, or by any museum, painter or artist's estate. Painters such as Van Gogh or Monet are named only to describe a historical style.

For questions about your account, billing, refunds, your photos or data deletion, write to us from the email address on your Photo to Painting account. Refund requests follow the refund policy and data requests follow the privacy policy.
