Highlights

Three ways to doodle a photo

The mode is the real decision

Add Doodles keeps your photo and draws around it. Doodle Portrait redraws the subject on a simple background. Doodle World rebuilds the whole scene as illustration. Same photo, three very different results.

Styles that actually look hand-made

Minimal line, notebook sketch, bold marker, ink scribble and crayon read as something a person drew, not as a filter applied to a photograph.

Themes do the thinking about props

Pick Birthday, Travel or Food & Café and the doodles that get added fit the occasion, so you are not describing balloons and party hats by hand.
