FotoSketcher is a free program for Windows and macOS that automatically converts digital photos into paintings, sketches, and drawings using classical image-processing algorithms (not generative AI). Users pick from styles like pencil sketch, watercolor, oil painting, pen & ink, abstract art and cartoons, adjust settings, and save at full resolution. It also offers basic photo enhancement tools, frames and captions, batch processing, manual retouching, and a scripting function for custom effects. It runs entirely offline on the user's own computer.
