How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a clear, front-facing portrait. Good lighting on the face and visible facial features give the AI the best foundation for renaissance portrait editing. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple Renaissance conversion: 30-40 seconds. Elaborate scene with period costume: 45-60 seconds.

  2. Describe the Renaissance style you want

    Type your instruction: 'transform this portrait into a Renaissance oil painting with dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, dark background, and classical composition' or 'paint this as a Flemish Renaissance portrait with rich fabrics and detailed textures.' Specify the era, lighting, and artist style. No marking needed—the AI transforms the entire image.

    Tip: Reference specific masters: 'Rembrandt-style lighting', 'Da Vinci sfumato', or 'Vermeer natural light' for distinct Renaissance looks.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Classic Rembrandt-style portrait transform this portrait into a Renaissance oil painting with Rembrandt-style chiaroscuro lighting, dark moody background, and warm golden tones
    Try This →
    Flemish Renaissance with rich detail paint this portrait in Flemish Renaissance style with intricate fabric textures, jewel-like colors, and meticulous attention to detail
    Try This →
    Renaissance with period costume transform this portrait into a Renaissance painting with the subject wearing elaborate period clothing, ruffled collar, and rich velvet fabrics
    Try This →
    Da Vinci sfumato style paint this portrait in Leonardo da Vinci's style with soft sfumato shading, mysterious expression, and subtle atmospheric depth

    Try This →

  3. Review the Renaissance result

    Check for authentic oil painting qualities: dramatic lighting, rich color depth, classical composition, and period-appropriate styling. The best results feel like they belong in a museum. Zoom in on brushwork and skin rendering.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If specific areas like the background, clothing, or lighting need adjustment, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Most Renaissance portraits look museum-quality on the first try.

    Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—Renaissance conversions usually achieve the right atmosphere immediately.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine which part you wanted in Renaissance style from description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want in Renaissance painting style, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Use them for selective Renaissance effects.

Result looks like a generic painting filter, not Renaissance

Why: The AI applied general painting effects without the specific Renaissance characteristics.

Try: transform to authentic Renaissance oil painting with visible crackled canvas texture, Old Master color palette, and classical composition from the 15th-16th century
Try This →

Tip: 'Old Master', 'crackled canvas', and '15th-16th century' lock in the authentic Renaissance period style.

Lighting is flat instead of dramatic

Why: The AI preserved the original photo's even lighting instead of applying dramatic Renaissance chiaroscuro.

Try: transform to Renaissance portrait with very dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, deep shadows on one side of the face, and a single strong light source from the upper left
Try This →

Tip: 'Single strong light source' and 'deep shadows' force the dramatic lighting that defines Renaissance portraiture.

Person is still wearing modern clothes

Why: The AI changed the style but not the clothing, leaving a jarring mix of modern and classical.

Try: transform to Renaissance portrait and change the clothing to period-appropriate Renaissance garments with rich fabrics, detailed embroidery, and classical styling
Try This →

Tip: If you want period clothing, explicitly ask for it—the AI won't assume you want costume changes.

Background is too plain or modern-looking

Why: The AI focused on the subject but left the background looking contemporary.

Try: transform entire image including background to Renaissance painting with dark atmospheric background, subtle architectural elements, and classical depth
Try This →

Tip: Renaissance backgrounds are typically dark and atmospheric. Saying 'entire image including background' ensures full transformation.
