Turn photo into line drawing online
Most line drawing converters lock you into preset filters with limited control. VEED's line art generator lets you describe exactly what you want: "Convert this photo to clean line art," "Turn this into a detailed outline drawing," or "Create a simple line drawing for a tattoo design." Upload your photo and get multiple AI models to test different line art styles. Choose the model that fits your project, download your line drawing, or bring it into our video editor to create animated content and social media posts.
How to convert photo to line drawing:
Step 01
Upload your image
Upload the photo you want to convert to line art. You can upscale your image first if you're working with low-resolution photos for better line detail.
Step 02
Describe the line drawing style you want
Type your prompt: "Convert photo to line drawing with clean outlines," "Turn this into detailed line art," or "Create a simple outline drawing." Different AI models produce varying line styles, detail levels, and artistic effects.
Step 03
Download or create a video
Save your line drawing or generate variations with different styles. You can also animate your line art with image-to-video AI or add it to video projects.

Line art generator for custom styles
Generate line art from photos with full prompt control over style and detail. Request clean vector-style line drawings for logos, detailed artistic line art for illustrations, or simplified outlines for coloring projects. The AI line art generator creates clean lines, removes background clutter, and emphasizes key features. Perfect for creating tattoo design references, technical illustrations, or artistic line work.
Stencil maker for creative projects
Turn photos into stencils ready for cutting, printing, and crafting. Upload your image and prompt the AI to create clean outline drawings perfect for stencil work. The outline maker removes unnecessary details and generates high-contrast line art ideal for Cricut cutting, screen printing, laser engraving, vinyl cutting, or painting stencils. Convert portraits into stencil art, create custom logo stencils, or generate decorative patterns. Export your stencil designs and bring them directly to your crafting projects
Image to outline converter that connects to video creation
Most outline makers stop at the static download. VEED connects your line drawings to complete video workflows. Convert your photo to line art, then animate it with image-to-video AI for social media content. Create drawing reveal animations, add your line art to video projects with text and music, or use outlines as video thumbnails. From image to outline conversion to finished video content, everything lives in one platform without switching tools.
FAQ
Upload your image to VEED's AI image editor and describe the line drawing style you want: "Convert this to clean line art" or "Turn this into a detailed outline drawing." The AI generates line art based on your prompt. Test multiple models to find the line art style that works best.
Yes. Convert photos to line drawings with simplified outlines perfect for tattoo design references. Request specific line styles: bold outlines for traditional tattoos, fine line art for delicate designs, or detailed line work for realistic tattoos. You can also use our AI tattoo generator to create original tattoo designs from scratch if you're visualizing ideas rather than converting existing photos.
For silhouettes instead of line drawings, prompt the AI to create solid black silhouettes: "Turn this image into a black silhouette" or "Create a silhouette outline of this subject." Silhouettes work differently from line drawings; they show the subject as a filled shape rather than outlined contours. This creates dramatic artistic effects perfect for logos, profile portraits, or graphic design elements.
VEED uses a credit-based system. Each AI model costs different credits per generation. You get prompt-based control over line styles, access to multiple AI models for different line art needs, and the ability to animate your line drawings or integrate them into video projects.

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.
