How It Works: Smart Line Conversion for Artists
Mimi Panda’s free online form lets you:

Use any personal image (JPG or PNG), preferably high-resolution and with strong contrast. -
Select style
Choose the level of detail you want—soft, sketchy, or sharp outlines depending on your artistic goal.
Creative Uses in Art Practice
-
Inking practice: Print the line art and ink traditionally or digitally
-
Light table sketching: Use as base for refining anatomy or perspective
-
Digital painting: Import SVG or raster image into Procreate, Photoshop, or Illustrator
-
Stylization studies: Start from realistic outlines and morph into cartoons, manga, or abstract forms
-
Concept development: Turn your travel photos or quick snapshots into layout ideas for future paintings or comics
Limitations to Note
Like any tool, it’s best used with awareness of its boundaries:
-
Works best with clean, high-contrast photos
-
Background clutter may create extra noise in the lines
-
Currently processes one image at a time
-
Max file size: 20MB
-
Intended for black-and-white output only—though you can color it later!
