What is Sketch to Image?
Sketch to Image turns a sketch or doodle into finished artwork — photo-real, 3D render, anime, watercolour, oil painting, comic or product design — while keeping your composition, shapes and proportions. A photo of a paper drawing or a digital sketch both work.

How to use Sketch to Image
Full step-by-step guideStep 1: Add your sketch
In “Your image”, drop, paste or browse for a JPG, PNG or WebP. A photo of a paper drawing or a digital sketch both work.
Step 2: Choose how to render it
Under “Render as”, pick “Photo-real”, “3D render”, “Anime”, “Watercolour”, “Oil painting”, “Comic” or “Product design”.
Step 3: Add details
“Details” is optional: colours, materials or mood, for example sunset colours, a red car or a cosy feel. It's useful when the sketch doesn't show colour.
Step 4: Render it
Check the price above “Transform it”, then press it or Ctrl+Enter (⌘+Enter on a Mac). Drag the slider on the result to compare it with your sketch.
Step 5: Try other styles
Change “Render as” and press “Another take” to see the same drawing another way. Every version stays in the strip under the picture.

Sketch to Image: questions and answers
Will it keep my drawing's layout?
Yes, it's told to preserve your composition, shapes and proportions. Simple, clear lines are followed most closely.
Can I start from a description instead of a sketch?
This tool needs a drawing. To start from words alone, use the Image Generator.
How much does Sketch to Image cost?
Pricing: 3-5 credits · built-in, GPT Image 2.5, Seedream 5 Pro or Nano Banana 2.1. The exact price is shown before anything runs, and new accounts get 10 free credits to try QikTools (valid for 7 days, no card needed). Plans and top-ups are on the pricing page.
Are pictures made with Sketch to Image labelled as AI?
When a result looks realistic, yes: an automatic check decides, and realistic pictures get a visible “AI-generated” label (if the check can't run, the label is added anyway). Stylised results such as illustrations don't need one. Every file carries signed Content Credentials that anyone can check on the verification page, and removing labels or credentials isn't allowed.
What happens to my credits if a run fails in Sketch to Image?
They go back automatically. The one exception: if a request passes our safety checks but the AI provider's own safety system refuses it and charges us for the attempt, the credits for that run are kept (Terms).
Who owns what I make with Sketch to Image, and what happens to my data?
You own your inputs and, as far as the law and our AI providers' terms allow, what you create, including for commercial use. QikTools doesn't sell your data or train AI models on your content; some AI providers' own terms let them use what they receive (Privacy Policy).
