FAQ

  • Upload your sketch and choose a style. Select a preset like 3D, Anime, or Oil Painting for instant results. Or type a custom prompt describing the look you want. The AI converts your drawing to a polished image with added color, texture, and detail.

  • Most sketch types work well: pencil drawings, pen doodles, digital line art, whiteboard drawings, and scanned notebook pages. Clear lines with decent contrast produce the best results. Working with a low-resolution scan or photo? Upscale your image first for better detail.

  • Yes. VEED’s AI image editor also works in reverse. Upload a photo and apply style presets like Sketch, Comic, or Cartoon to transform it into a drawing. Use style presets for one-click conversion or prompts for custom illustration styles.

  • VEED uses a credit-based system. Each AI model costs different credits per generation. With a subscription and AI credit add-ons, you get style presets, prompt-based editing, and animation tools. Check our pricing page for details.

I found VEED at the right time: if you're making UGC ads and not using Eye Contact Correction and Noise Reduction on VEED you're missing out on ROI.
